A few years back when I first started blogging I shared how I did a mouse pad makeover. Well, fast forward 2.5 years later and 539 blog post later and I am in need of making over my mousepad once again! Since everyone knows by now I have a love for all things Washi Tape I had to make over a mouse pad using my beloved and favorite crafting supply! This project took me a little under an hour to create and has left a lasting impression on my desk in my craft room! Supplies: Mouse … [Read more...]
A few years ago when Hobby Lobby first opened in Central Florida I stocked up on a wide variety of pendants. Knowing that one day I would want to make customized pendants using the fabulous Dimensional Magic! Before we left for vacation I made this haunting necklace. I decided to add a layer of Glow-In-The-Dark Mod Podge before sealing it with the Dimensional Magic to give it a mysterious and enchanting look. I plan to give this to one of my favorite spooky ghouls! Supplies: Halloween … [Read more...]
Today I'm so excited to have my good friend (in real life) Christy from Through My Looking Glass here today. We both share the same love for Halloween (although I'll admit she is definitely a notch above me--I did schedule a trip in the month of October, something she would never fathom doing). Not only does Christy ADORE Halloween but she is an AMAZING photographer. (So if you live in Central Florida--hit her up, you won't regret it--I promise). Ok, enough of my babbling... on to Christy's … [Read more...]
Last year I had the opportunity to guest blog over at Meremade. I shared this easy and fun back-to-school craft to get children excited about going back to school! The best part about these notebooks is that you can truly customize them to any person. I made this one (last year) for my friend Christy's daughter. Chloe was starting Kindergarten and I wanted her to get excited about school. Supplies: Composition Notebook Mod Podge Foam Brush Scrapbook … [Read more...]
As most of you know I love Mod Podge! I own just about every formula and tool that has been created in the product line. I easily craft with it once a month. About two months ago I received Amy Anderson's brand new book in the mail; Mod Podge Rocks (the book). I spent a good hour or so reading this book cover to cover! When I first found out Amy was writing a book I was so esctactic for her and couldn't wait to see what awesome projects she came up with! This book contains over 40 decoupage … [Read more...]
Do you remember a few week's ago when I shared with you my first ever "haul" video; Mod Podge Haul to be exact. I showed you all the amazing products Plaid Crafts sent me for a fun upcoming project? It was like Christmas came early with over 20+ new products I got to try before they hit the store shelves! Well, the day has finally arrived and I can finally show you what I created for the project. To read more about the project click HERE. Check out all the amazing projects other's … [Read more...]
I applied to participate in a Mod Podge campaign with the Blueprint Social last month, and ever since I found out I got the campaign I've been anxiously awaiting my box of goodies from Plaid Crafts. Every day for the past week I've been seeing photos of the box surface as more and more bloggers received their box. After seeing a few more photos yesterday, and pouting, because let's be honest--it's not fun when you see everyone else getting their box and you haven't gotten your box yet, I began … [Read more...]
When I think of Valentine candy the first thing that comes to mind are those chalky conversation herts--not chocolate covered cherries or fancy truffles! I knew I wanted to craft with them, but just couldn't figure out what it was I wanted to make. I used a glitter mod podge to coat them and then they sat on our dinning room table for a week. Until Mr. Woodsy finally asked me if he could throw away the shiny candy that had been sitting on the dining room table for a … [Read more...]
Valentine's Day is technically a month away, and if your like me as soon as the Christmas decor came down the Valentine's decor came out. Now, granted I don't have bins and bins full of Valentine's decor. I just have enough to fill the shelves above our tv. I made a few crafts last year; Frosted Valentine's Day Vases, Valentine's Stuffed Owl, Heart Shadow Box, Rosette Frame, Heart Garland, and lastly Mr. Woodsy made this amazing "Love" cut out using his scroll saw. These are the extent of my … [Read more...]
