I love to work with fabric but I don't really like to sew. (Ah, it feels good to get that off my chest!) That's a big reason why I use Oly-Fun fabric so much. It's non fraying and doesn't fade, so it's perfect to use with die cuts and for outdoor projects. I used the American flag with this Fourth of July bunting, but you can adapt the colors for any flag you like. This patriotic banner was inspired by this Pottery Barn product.

A Handmade Gift Guys Will Like
Make a custom wall art sign for the men in your life by printing your own stickers at home. This is a great handmade gift for guys! With three sons, I know how limiting it is to try to craft something for guys. A majority of craft supplies are geared towards women, with lots of florals, bling, and foil, which not all guys are into. Sometimes you have to make your own supplies. I like to use printable labels from my sponsor, OnlineLabels.com, to quickly and easily make any design I need … [Read more...]

Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter Decor Tutorial
I'm a big fan of Alice in Wonderland, first the Disney movie and, as I became older, the original story by Lewis Carroll.

When I was given the opportunity to work with Deep Red Stamps and choose from their site, I literally jumped for joy when I saw the Wonderland stamps they have available on their site. I combined their stamps with some of my favorite Xyron tools to … [Read more...]

Awesome Crafts to Make with Recycled Plastic Bottles
Recycled plastic bottles crafts round up. If you've never lived in Texas then you may not realize what a "thing" our bluebonnets are. They're kind of a big deal. For me, they signify the beginning of spring. For many Texans, it means time to drag everyone...the kids, the dogs, the in-laws, etc....to the biggest bluebonnet patch you can find and take a picture. As you can see from my experience last year, almost everyone enjoys bluebonnet pictures. Since bluebonnets are so treasured … [Read more...]
DIY Flamingo Nail Art
Nail art is cute, but who has the time or patience to do all those cute chevrons and squiqqles and designs? Kudos to you if you can do that (I'm jealous!) but I know if I tried it my nails would look like this: So, what's a girl to do? FAKE IT, of course. I made these adorable, itty bitty flamingos from vinyl. (If you've missed out on my new flamingo obsession, click here for more flamingo fun.)
