Color Combo Challenge #29: Pacific Point, So Saffron, Baked Brown Sugar

This Color Combo was definitely a challenge for me.  I was never a fan of the color Pacific Point, but I have to admit that it goes nicely with Baked Brown Sugar and is nicely complimented by the softness of So Saffron.

How cool is this Faux Window technique.  I always wonder how someone comes up with techniques like this.  Hope this inspires you.



Paint Chip Inspiration 2: Easter Banner

I started a new series on my blog called Paint Chip Inspiration, this is project #2.  I made this cute Easter Banner to hang as decoration in my craft room using paint chips and Stampin' Up! Oval Framelits.  I was surprised how east it was to match up Stampin' Up! card stock colors with the paint chip colors.









Craft Room Organization: Pool Party

In a previous post, I showed a new way I was organizing my clear blocks.  I love the idea of putting them all in a small desk organizer, but it always bothered me that it only came in black wire mesh.  So this weekend I decided to alter it.  I used Martha Stewart file folders I purchased at Staples and I covered the base to make it look nicer.  These folders already match my craft room.  It reminds me of Pool Party... which I love.




Then I couldn't stop at the organizer and I altered more stuff on my craft table.  My double-side tape dispenser, my little grab tray where I keep the things I need quickly on my desk (scissors, dimensionals, adhesive) and I also altered the jar I use as my garbage bin for small scraps.  I went a little crazy with the folders... but I love it.





I already had the in and out boxes from Martha Stewart so now everything matches beautifully.  If only I could keep the top of my desk this clean all the time.  Now that's a challenge!



Hope this inspires you!
