Paint Chip Mini Album

Started a mini paint chipboard album and thought I would give you guys a quick peak at it. Have all the pages pretty much prepped and ready to go, just need to fill them with photos or some journaling or whatever. 😬. And obviously have to figure out a way to hide or alter that stationery set label on the front. LoL!

If you want to see a quick flip through, you can check it out on my instagram page.  ;)

Wall art and halloween decorations

I cleaned out some of my craft space yesterday and found a bunch of stuff I forgot I had. Decided to do a little painting today and created these. A top hat wearing moustachtic mister and a friendly octopus. 😆 I feel like the top hat guy needs something else but for now he'll stay as is I guess. #freckledfawn #blooperbundle #michaels #woodencrafts #woodenaccents #diypainting #sillyart

Also forgot I just got this skull stand from target a few weeks ago in the dollar spot. Decided to paint him up, give him a crown from my wood stash and added the little bottle I made a couple of years ago and haven't quite found a home for ( until now!). Now just to make time to set up all my Halloween decorations! 😬 #halloween #targetdollarspot #skull #skeleton #potionsbottle #painting #kingscully #michaels #woodenaccents

Just some random stuff...

 

Thursday Inspiration.

"Be more awesome than a chicken riding an umbrella with an alligator."
I like to think I'm that awesome.  ;) 

The sticker is from the Darice dollar packs available at Michael's.  I seem to buy a new set every time I go in!

 Weekend quotes in my new striped notebook to keep me going this week.  I think I may make this my quote book.  It currently is a catchall list book but I really adding some of my favorite quotes to it.

I have a library book I need to read, so I thought some reading/book quotes might inspire me. 

 

I keep seeing all of these cute paper clips people have made, so I made a couple the other night and added this little bow one to my a5 planner and it matches everything perfectly. I ended up accidentally touching the scalding hot glue to my thumb and finger as I was holding it and almost dropped it and grabbed it with my fingers instead of letting it fall, so that wasn't fun.  Thankfully it didn't leave any permanent damage!

 The bow came from michaels dollar fifty area (from awhile ago) and the pens came from target. The teal one was from the dollar spot trio set (all different colors) that is currently out and the green one is a Yoobi pen, which also came in a set of three, although they were all the same color. I absolutely love the Yoobi pens. I bought two types and these were my favorite. They're very smooth and write amazingly. They can smear so you have to let them dry just a bit but I still love them. Still haven't figured out what to do with this little booklet I made either. I added a sticker from my freckled fawn package I got along with some washi tape but that's as far as I've gotten so far. :/

Personalizing my planner

 I made some more gelliprints as I used all mine for other projects and decided I wanted one as divider. (The square sheet protector is from a Heidi Swapp memory planner kit I had.) Still working on getting my planner into some working order. I found some calendar/weekly inserts this weekend (that I hate) but they don't even start until July so I have to figure out what I want to do until then. The monthly inserts from cocoa daisy look awesome but I'm hesitant to rush into getting them just yet, in case I won't like them either. I can't seem to find a good layout I really like. And I haven't had much luck with printing my own out.  :/  No matter what I do they look hideous so I definitely want to buy any I get. Guess I'll keep looking and trying to manage until I find some or until July gets here. Lol. 

 
                                                         Just making a mess, as usual.

Forgot I had this little stamp in my stash. It came in a sushi roll crayola stationary kit I found at Big Lots some time ago. I thought it was adorable. It comes with chopstick like pens and a little notepad and sticky notes (the sushi roll one it's sitting on) in a little bento like lunch box. The bottom of this little guy has three stars on it, that you may be able to see in the corner there. 

I placed a small order online Friday for a few things on Oh Deer Me via www.freckledfawn.com and they arrived Monday! I'm amazed at how quick they were! And how cute everything is. I love it! Will definitely be ordering from them again. Can't wait to start using everything! 

I have enough daily memory keepers, but I really liked this book I made from some gelliprints. So I decided I want to use it as a inspiration / memory keeper type of book instead. Sort of like the midori? I often end up leaving these books half unfinished (I have several sitting around in my studio). But I am determined to finish this one. We'll see how it goes I guess.
