After so many months of sharing mainly craft tutorials on the blog, I’m looking forward to sharing more art again this year. I’m finally out of my slump and have been drawing like crazy lately, with passion and purpose. In the meantime, this sparkly heart canvas bridges the gap a little bit. This is a simple little Valentine’s project […]

Make beautiful embossed Christmas gift tags
December 19, 2015 By 4 Comments
When I made the embossed tins the other week, I loved the look and feel of the embossed canvas pieces I wrapped around the tins. I had some big scraps of sticky back canvas left over, so I decided to make Christmas gift tags too. I’m so glad I did. They only took about 10-15 minutes to make and […]

Hey lovelies, Sorry it’s been a bit quiet around here lately. But I’m back today with a lovely little memory-keeping craft for the holidays- silhouette Christmas ornaments. Do you like silhouettes?

Make cute embossed tins for Christmas
November 4, 2015 By 4 Comments
I did a complete inventory of all my craft supplies when I did up my craft room back in the spring and found lots of things I hadn’t used in a very long time, or ever.

How to make your own book page tassels
October 14, 2015 By 2 Comments
I’m taking a break from Halloween crafts today to share a super easy tassel tutorial instead. I shared these tassels on Guidecentral a while back, but not here. I’m kind of kicking myself I didn’t because they’re now one of favourite ways to embellish gifts. They’re so easy to make and look really pretty, especially when layered with other […]
Make an easy bat garland (with template)
October 8, 2015 By 8 Comments
One of the things I love about crafting my own holiday decorations is that I can make them exactly what I need them to be. This is especially true at Halloween. Right now we’re definitely in a cutesy phase. The kids are young and we’re not really into scary stuff, so I make things suitable for them. I […]
