Cozy for Kiddies

February 17, 2012

My favourite thing to pin is kids rooms and nurseries. I would probably decorate my whole house like a kid's room if I could (my boyfriend would probably have something to say about that--haha.) They are so cheerful, cozy and full of imaginative things. Take a look at my Pinterest board for more inspiration. Have fun and unleash your inner child!

Simple Valentine How To

February 14, 2012

This is the valentine I made for my boyfriend. It's not your standard heart shaped doily kind, but I'm pretty happy with it. We love watching retro sci-fi movies (Forbidden Planet, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Day the Earth Stood Still etc). We watch episodes of The Twilight Zone on date night and WallE is probably our favourite romance movie... so you can see how it is pretty perfect.

Everybody likes glitter (even boys.) It gives an object sparkle, texture, and a bit of whimsy. I bought a Martha Stewart Glue pen and a multipack of glitter before Christmas, and I have had SO much fun with it. It's really extremely easy, and it takes your homemade cards to a new level. I bought the glue and glitter at Michaels (yay %40 coupons), but I noticed that Wal-mart carries it as well.

Here is the glue pen

Super easy to use nib

Step One-- trace the outline or create your own image in the glue pen

Step Two-- choose colour of glitter

Step Three-- tap glitter over the glued area

Step Four-- shake off excess (use paper as funnel to put it back in the jar-- less waste= more glitter for later- yay!)

Step Five-- choose new colour, repeat steps 1-4

Repeating...

Finished product!

Glitter in the sunlight... isn't it pretty???

Hope you enjoyed my mini-tutorial--- get glittering and sparkle up someone's day! (You'll have fun, I promise.)

So, I mentioned before that I love Pinterest. It's such a great resource for collecting ideas. For fun, I decided to put together a few of my favourites non-crafting related items. I have a weak spot for dresses, even though I never wear them. If you'd like to know the source of these images, click on the button above and it will take you right to it!

Enjoy ♥

This colour is just yummy.

Cats eye makeup is always pretty.

My favourite colour

I heart shoes with ankle straps.

The cut of this dress is so flattering. I like the graphic print of the birds all over it.

This dress is just gorgeous. I love the bright vintage pattern and the red lace

Okay. I had to add something cute in here. Aren't these adorable?? I love the little ears!

Tuesday Treasures

February 7, 2012

The sunshine was so beautiful this weekend-- it was the first time I felt spring in the air. I noticed a few bulbs are starting to poke up through the ground, so I decided to theme this week's Tuesday Treasures on Spring Flowers! There were too many beautiful things on Etsy, so there's a lot of crafty eye candy this week!

Enjoy the sunshine everyone!

Delightful Garland
