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!

Moonlight DSP Thank You Open Box

I love the Stampin' Up! Moonlight DSP pack. I made these Thank You boxes for my customers. These are great to hold little treats, Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares or maybe even 3 x 3 mini cards.
