I used some store-bought ones, but my hand-carved stamps are quickly becoming my favourites to use. Especially in my art journal pages. I started with the…

    February 13, 2017

        If you’re on Instagram or Pinterest and follow any hand lettering/calligraphy accounts, then you know that foiling is all the rage right now. It looks SO satisfying, doesn’t it?

      It’s the season for sending out Christmas cards to everyone on your list to wish them Happy Holidays and provide your annual photo of the kids.

    June 10, 2016

    I love finding new ways to create interesting papers to include in my art journaling pages.

      I saw the idea of upholstering our box spring about a year ago on Pinterest. I pinned it, then about 6 months ago I finally purchased fabric to do it. The way our bed frame is, you can see about 5″ of the box spring. Of course, ours was that typical beige mattress fabric…

  • DIY Stitched Card

    February 7, 2013

    I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t make Valentine’s Day cards for the peeps in my life. I only give a card to Jason and he prefers a funny card from the store. Actually, I really like those silly cards too. We never get each other sentimental cards. It’s not really our style.…

  • DIY Valentine Onesie

    February 6, 2013

      This is Liberty’s first Valentine’s Day so of COURSE I had to make her something. She’s either going to love that I will always make her stuff or grow to hate it. Either way, I’ll probably still make her stuff. This onesie is super easy to make & was easy on the wallet. The…
