Hello!
Although it is hard to believe, the year is almost over and November is in full swing! Today I want to share with you a fun library display for No-Shave November- I Mustache You to Read These Books! This project was a great excuse to use my Silhouette Cameo and the PixScan mat, and super easy to make just using good ol’ scissors.
Hello again!
Are you nursing a post Halloween candy hangover? I suggest slice of pie! Kickstart your holiday crafting inspiration with these Thanksgiving Pie Shaker Cards! And because it is the season of GIVING, I have a free pumpkin pie cut file just for you!
Hello!
With Halloween less than a week away I wanted to share a quick vinyl craft with big impact. These Spooky Skeleton Halloween Hurricanes are the perfect addition to your Halloween decor!
Hello everyone!
Although I’ve been otherwise occupied with Halloween decorating this month I did make something pretty and totally unrelated to the season. Its paper, of course, and is beautiful enough to hang on my wall year-round! Today I want to brag about my paper succulent wall art- AND share with you all my free cut file I used to create it!
Hello everyone!
Today I wanted to share my process for making this festive fall leaves wreath entirely out of paper! For the fall season I was tasked with creating an easy display in our library for cookbooks. I decided to feature “Fall Foods.” With the help of the Silhouette Cameo, I created this wreath in an afternoon. This project is also perfect for creating a welcoming autumn door wreath or mantel decor on a budget by utilizing your unused paper at home!
Hello!
This week is Banned Books Week (September 27th through October 3rd) and I am excited to share with you the banners that I created for the lobby of our library.
Although we are a smaller branch, and don’t always have challenged materials on hand to feature, I was asked to create a display to promote awareness. I knew right away I wanted to make a big impact in our beautiful windowed lobby for all to see. And what better way to represent Banned Books Week than with a book burning? Kidding, of course, but I did want to make a similar statement with this display.
Hello again!
Fall is now upon us! Everyone knows it is the season for staying inside to craft and not feeling guilty about never seeing daylight. Right? Maybe that’s just me…Fall is definitely the season for Halloween decor, and today I’m going to share with you my DIY “Beware of Zombies” Yard Sign!
Hello everyone!
I have a DIY tutorial this week to share with you all! So get out your phones (or cameras, whatever those are!) and strike your best selfie pose because today I’m going to show you how to make these lovely photo booth props!
Hello World!
Every week, starting on Monday, they give away a handful of free content for those registered with a free account. The free items vary, but they often include digital graphics or fonts. This week I was like a kid in a candy store grabbing them all. These particular items are free 8/10/15 – 8/16/15.
You won’t stop at the freebies either. Once you start browsing you will inevitably buy something. All items come with at least a Simple License, meaning you can use the item for personal use. Imagine the possibilities for greeting cards, invitations, wall art- or in my case, Project Life cards.
I had been searching for the perfect paper to use for this photo, and I was immediately inspired by the Triangle Seamless Pattern set by Curly_Pat. I used my Silhouette software to create 3×4″ journal cards from these patterns which I then printed and cut. The other embellishments were made from scrapbook paper and various stamps. I am especially fond of the hand stamped camera pattern- and I will definitely use this technique again.
Thanks for visiting! Check back for more of my Project Life Mood Book. Check out my Artspiration board on Pinterest for a peek into what inspires me and my pages! Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
*FYI, I am not affiliated with Creative Market-
I just love it. A lot.
Hello everyone! Today I want to to dive into my love of paper craft and share with you one of my recent and favorite creations for the library. This display makes a big impact with only a few sheets of paper- and little to NO experience necessary. It’s so easy- I promise! This project goes far beyond the library and would work well for classroom displays, parties, or even holiday decorations- its up to you!
