School Scrapbook Layout

We did a little moving around in our house relocating our sons bedroom, the office, and my craft room. Now the office and craft room are combined and it is always a mess despite my husband's disapproval. I found this layout recently when I was still trying to organize some things. It got a little hammered from being moved around but hey, at least I found it :)

Repurposed Window to Jewelry Holder

I love pinterest and I, like so many others, have tons of pins of things that I would like to do, but don't actually ever get the chance to. After a month and a half of tending to a sick family, I was itching to do something creative. I love creating something old into something new and useful again. I was looking to find a jewelry holder for my necklaces and I had lots of inspiration on my pinterest board (repurposed inspiration)to choose from. I needed something that would be quick and easy as I didn't know when another child just might catch another sick bug. I had some old windows that I have never gotten around to using (but certainly had plans for one day) and had one that would be perfect for my room. All I did here was screw in some hooks inside the frame of the window about 3/4" apart and attach some hardware on the back to hang it to the wall. No predrilling, although that might have made my hand hurt less afterwards, and I didn't even bother to paint it, but I may do that another day.

 I love the way I can see all my necklaces. No more digging through my jewelry box and having to untangle items. I am finding I wear them more now as I can just grab them and go. One pinterest pin down...so many more to go.

Bitty Baby Blessings

I am a fan of Papertrey Ink's stamps and have been wanting to use the old set Bitty Baby Blessings for some time now. This is a girl version I came up with using this set and also the set Baby: inside and out. I used Stampin' Up colors pink pirouette and perfect plum. I also got to use my new Mat Stack 4 die and stamp, and embossed the bottom half of my card with the herringbone plate from PTI. It was so fun! I apologize for my picture taking. Hopefully that will get better in the near future.
