Old Window Wall Art

Hi! I’m here with another Pinterest Project! This is so fun.

So, I saw on Pinterest this wall art made with an old window.

Goodness it’s soooo cute. I totally followed the tut on the original posters blog. 

I needed to make this for my bedroom! So, I did just that! I called my friend Kathy who makes art with old windows and asked if she had one she was not using…she did! Yea! Thanks Kathy!!

The colors in my bedroom are brown and teal…so those are the colors I used. And of course I made this a Hybrid project by just using my digital scrapbooking stash! I just found some digi papers that I liked and printed them in the sizes I needed for my window. All the papers I used were from the GingerScraps store. I love using my digi supplies like this!

So, here is my window. I also used some wooden knobs I already had, not as cute as the original posters knobs, but still cute. I glued buttons on the end of the knobs to make them a little more jazzy. I am one of those girls that likes to use what I have..not that I don’t like to go out and buy more goodies at the craft store…lol..but it gives me pleasure to use supplies I already have in my craft closet.

So, here is my window hanging right on my bedroom wall.

Now, I just need to make some more fun projects to hang all around it! I’m sure I will find lots of great ideas on Pinterest! LOL!

Follow me on Pinterest HERE if you wanna!

Have a crafty day!

My Planner for 2012

Yes, it’s the beginning of a new year. Time to get organized right! Well, I am a planner girl. I know, a lot of you have foregone the paper planners and only use your smart phone calendars. I do have a smart phone..but I just need my planner! It goes with me everywhere. it’s in my purse. I write everything in it. It’s actually kind of fun to go back through my old planners and see what I had written..almost like a journal of my daily life!

So, of course it’s 2012. My old planner is tattered and full. Time for a fresh start! Yea! Fun! I know I could go and buy myself a planner, but it is much more fun to make your own! It’s so way cuter!

So here we go…time to share my 2012 planner!

Here is the planner in process.

Yes, that is my sewing machine. I wanted pocket pages, so I decided to sew them! That should be sturdy don’t cha think!

Here are the inside pages.  I created templates for these planner pages you can find them in my shop at GingerScraps. The templates are totally customizable.

Just use any digi papers that you like, drag them into the layers in the template and print the pages back to back. You just have to do a few test prints to see how the pages come out of your printer. Once you get it all tested they printing a a breeze.

So, I was super excited to use my new Zutter Bind it All for my planner this year! I got it on sale too! With my Ben Franklin gift card Whoowhhoo! I am totally loving this new tool! It punches all the little holes for you and binds it all together with the wires.  A few test punches with this and I was good to go. You could also use a small 3 ring binder, like I did last year.

Here is the cover. It’s my favorite part  

I love pink and black! So, the zebra paper and the little rhinestone camera I also got at Ben Franklin. The rest of the papers and elements are digital and are in the kit Colors of My Life which you can find at GingerScraps. It is a buffet kit, so it is huge and a collaboration of a bunch of the GingerScraps designers. I’m using the same kit for my 365 project this year.

The cover is a piece of chipboard with the zebra paper on both sides. Then the cute little hybrid bit glued on the front. It is all Mod Podged to keep it sealed and protected. This little book has to be able to take my abuse for the whole year! And it turned out so cute, I won’t get bored of looking at it!

Now, I am totally ready to take on another busy, fun filled year of lots and lots of thing to do!

Fun with Felt and Flowers!

So, I have been having lots of fun lately! Playing with felt and making flowers. My boys are really into playing “kitchen” so I have been making them Felt “Food”

Here are my little projects…

I got the Donut Pattern Here.

I even use a Hybrid Template to make this Milk Carton. It’s by Krisi’s Creations and it’s from Scrap Matters. I just had to modify it a little bit for sewing.

I made some flowers too…

These are made out of Duct Tape! I love Duct Tape! I got the idea here.

These ones are from Tulle and Ribbon.

This one is Vintage lace, it looks so cute in my nieces hair.

So much fun! Loving it! There is so much inspiration out there on the web!

My next project is to make a Play Kitchen out of an old nightstand! Look at these! Awesome!

Scrap Happy!
