We all had a long weekend and you can bet our idea of fun and relaxation was whipping out a small bunch of sample invites for another upcoming Kaeratana bride, all while the gentlemen were watching the toddler. These darling die-cut paper jackets were made with the Xcut Lilies Die Set. We have been loving … [Read more…]
Have you ever had the feeling of being in the moment and wanting to just keep that moment forever? Whether it’s being on a road trip with your best friends, getting that much-deserved promotion, hearing your child’s first giggle, or witnessing your husband cook for the first time, treasured memories are always worth documenting. But with the many … [Read more…]
By now, we all know what I love and what I am a sucker for: decor that has anything to do with wood and simple DIYs. I am especially loving me some DIY twig balls because they are as natural and rustic as they get, and they are not that hard to do. And since it’s Halloween season, we … [Read more…]
Oh hey, it’s Halloween tonight and of course we are getting in on the fun. For our simple DIY this season, we are giving the classic twine-wrapped decor balls a Halloween twist!

We are here to make custom journal cards again and today we are incorporating one of my latest craze – geometrics. Here the discussion of making your own filler or journal for your Project Life albums was first broached, and since then we have made cards out of recycled shopping bags, fabric swatches, cork, and plain grid paper.

Are you one of those people who, while travelling, keep every theater ticket, every bus stub, even nick a pair of disposable chopsticks while eating at a restaurant in Cambodia, with every intention of compiling it all into one smart scrapbook back home? Well, I am. Of course, I daydream about a bookcase with rows of identical scrapbooks of the different places I have been to, so I keep every foreign token I can possibly get a hold of or anything I can use for the purpose. Alas, let’s be honest, that’s just not going to happen soon. Imagining is one thing, but I never get around to doing the actual scrapbook. So all I’m left is an ever-increasing mass of unsorted, undecorated, random pieces of receipts, boarding passes and trinkets.

A friend asked me very recently to do some fun DIY for her daughter’s 14th birthday party that weekend. She wanted me to design tickets for a raffle she was going to hold during the party.
