The Inspiration Board: creative party spotlight ~149~

Seriously… TGIF everyone! Another whirlwind week has flown by. I hope you all had a fantastic week and are planning something fun and relaxing for the weekend. Thank you to everyone who visited me here this week and for those of you who shared your creativity on The Inspiration Board. I’m so grateful to all of you.

If the week got away from you, here’s what I shared here on homework this week.

Now, on to the projects featured in the spotlight this week.

ETCETERAS: Cork & Gold Glitter Coasters with Lifestyle Crafts

For this month’s Lifestyle Crafts tutorial, I stepped away from a paper project and experimented with die cutting cork. As I become  more comfortable with my Lifestyle Crafts Evolution tool I’m trying new things and get to be a little more creative with the projects.

HOMEWORK ~ Reading: Washi Wonderful (and a giveaway)

I’ve been thinking about this post for over a year and now finally I can share it with you. About a year and a half ago, the amazingly talented Jenny Doh contacted me about the possibility of being a contributor for her new book, Washi Wonderful. It was a fascinating process and I basically had to audition and submit a portfolio of projects so the editors could decide on who the contributors would be.

ETCETERAS: Painted Confetti Dot Jewelry Box

I can’t tell you how happy I am that dots are so big right now. I love dots – perfectly uniform polka dots, random confetti dots, and imperfect Dalmatian type dots.

And now on to the projects featured in the spotlight this week.

UPCYCLING: Repurposed Vintage Sifter to Vase

I’ve had this sifter forever! I honestly don’t remember where I got it. It might be my moms, I’m going to have to ask her.

CELEBRATIONS: Kid’s Table Easter Bunny Table Decor

I think Easter brings out the inner-cuteness in all of us. These little wooden bunnies are so sweet I couldn’t let this season go by without using them on something.

EXTRA CREDIT: Canon T3 Prize Package Giveaway

I’m so excited to offer you this fantastic giveaway. This is the camera that I use and I love it. It was my first “big girl” camera and I chose it because it was easy to learn to use but also takes great quality photos. Here are a few examples of picture that I’ve taken with my Canon T3.
