Every year I go to the CK Scrapbooking Convention in Charlotte, NC. This year I went and I took a Sizzix die class, not because I didn’t know how to use dies but because I wanted to take a class from one of the Sizzix designers, Stephanie Barnard. She was super nice and ran a great…
How fun it is to create something useful and pretty all from paper, glue and a few embellishments! Today I’m using some beautiful paper by SEI from the Azalea collection to create this Recipe Box from the Silhouette Store. The box assembles quite easily. You just need to bend the paper in a few places…
This fun project is perfect for dressing up a wall in a teen’s room, a craft room or anywhere that needs a punch of color and a reminder to stay uniquely you! I created this using SEI Tumble Dye, the SEI Hoop Art Starter Kit, doilies and thin wooden letters. It’s so simple to create this! …
I was looking at the front the SEI banner kit and saw this great idea for turning a simple paper lunch bag into a gift bag. It was not only genius and frugal, it was something I needed. I have had a bag of coffee that I’ve been meaning to give as a gift and…
I like it when things are lovely and simple. This box is a perfect example of what I mean. There’s a lot of texture but it all works together so well. It is rustic-romantic as well as classy and simple. I’m using these awesome and HUGE corrugated pillow boxes by SEI. Wait until you…

I just think, “Hey, it could stay plain. I mean, I’ve certainly wrapped plenty of boring boxes in wrapping paper before.” Well, since we’re not counting…
When you need a simple gift mason jars are perfect. You can add just about anything to them and they look thoughtful and well planned. Today I’m using Hershey’s Nuggets as the filler. I love the way the gold looks in the jar, don’t you? I used SEI’s fauxbois gold and woodgrain paper to give the…
Just a few supplies make a big impact! This sign used 1 piece each of ribbon & twine, 5 craft chips and less than 1 sheet of 12×12 paper. Isn’t that cool?! I always say, “Use awesome double sided paper to get the most bang for your buck.” Scroll down to see how horrifying this sign…
The kids are out of school for the whole summer. Now is the perfect time to make some awesome crafts together! Here’s an idea… See, if you create a direct command in ombre coloring it makes doing the dishes seem exciting and fun! Right?! Um…to avoid disappointment maybe we shouldn’t test that whole “doing dishes is…
