Dandelion Wishes!

Hi everyone! I know it has been a while since my last post but I have been super busy! Both of my children have been or are getting marries- one in June, the other in September! So in between showers, bachelorette parties and weddings I have not had a ton of time to craft! I have really missed challenges and decided to take some time for the new Color Throwdown Challenge #503!

I kept to a clean and simple card by stamping my main image in gray and then adding in a simple sentiment in the challenge red color. I also added in the green for the challenge with a bit of patterned paper and some shiny sequins!

For s bit of interest, I stamped the main blowing dandelion image onto a fishtail flag and layered that over some patterned paper. A few sparse dandelion images were added onto the background as well, peeking out behind the main image.

For a bit more color, I added in tiny twinkling gems and a strip of ribbon in red. I couldn't resist adding glittery sparkle to the image with a Nuvo pen!

Thanks for checking out my blog! Bee Happy!!

Do Your Thing!

Hi everyone! I am always changing up my office and looking for fun and happy supplies and organizers to brighten my space. I have been searching for a new desk organizer but haven't been able to find the perfect one so I just decided to make my own! 

With it's vibrant colors and dazzling array of patterns, The Simple Stories 'Good Vibes' paper collection was the ideal way to add color and charm to my desk. I used medium weight chipboard for the organizer and gave it plenty of compartments to hold supplies. Mine measures 6.5" square which made it easy to cut the patterned papers to fit the compartments. Polka dots are one of my favorites and between the 12x12 papers and the 6x8 pad, there was enough to cover all of the inside areas. For the larger outsides, I mixed up the patterns and used some of the fun floral designs! 

To really make the bright colors pop, I then added a strip of the bold black and white aztec print around the bottom edge and used the smaller sized matching washi tape to accent the tops of the dividers. Then, using a combination of the bits & pieces, chipboard and combo stickers along with the 4x6 stickers pad, I embellished and decorated as many of the outside areas as I could for the cutest organizer around! 

I didn't stop there though! I jot down notes and ideas all the time on post it notes so I made a holder for those as well. Using a youTube tutorial and more of the awesomely delightful paper, I created this small box that holds my sticky notes perfectly! Of course, I had to embellish it as well with the stickers and chipboard! I love that the 'Good Vibes' chipboard fit so well on the top- looks great! 

 I also made a small notebook with the collection, adding a 3x4 element card and a couple of stickers to the front, and covered some wooden pencils to match! Now I have a seriously cute organizer and paper holder that makes me and my desk very happy!!
