Washi Tape Tray

I found some super cute washi tape on clearance at Michaels a few months back. I sometimes am at a loss for what to actually do for it even with all those inspiring projects that have been shared out there. I picked up a plain plastic plate at Target and then simply laid the tape across it to create a tray for my succulents I picked up at Lowe's. 

I was going to attempt to plant my own, but on the day I went to Lowe's they only had ones that were already planted in bowls.  I am going to head to the Do-It-Herself class offered at Home Depot in May on planting succulents. It's free so you cannot beat that. My friend Jocie from One Project Closer is actually teaching the class offered at the Ellicott City, Maryland location if you are in that area. Here is the link for the workshop - Home Depot Workshops.  

Hopefully heading to this workshop will allow me to keep this little planter alive a little longer. I am definitely not known for having a green thumb at all. Enjoy your week!

Mother's Day Frame

Michaels is always coming out with new wooden shapes. I found a wooden frame with a pretty shape and put it in my craft stash.  I pulled it out on Saturday when my friend came over to do some crafting with me.  I also grabbed some paper flowers, buttons and ribbon that I had gotten previously in Michaels' dollar section as well.  

Using some leftover black paint I painted the frame, and then layered some of the ribbon and flowers on. You may be wondering why I chose black for Mother's Day.  I mean it's spring time and I should have bright colors on my mind.  Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be able to show you the picture I plan on placing in it, which suits the black and white colors in the frame.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hoppin' You Have A Great Birthday

I know a little guy that is about to turn one. I wanted to come up with a cute gift for him, and when I saw this little frog Easter basket at Walgreen's on clearance it gave me an idea.  The basket was $1.00, and that is definitely an inexpensive gift bag.

I kept up with the frog theme by adding a frog bath book from Amazon..  I found a t-shirt at Target and decided I would just add a small frog to the pocket using my Silhouette.

Using the flocked heat transfer paper in green I cut out a frog image..  It was only about two inches by one inch so it was a quick process.  Then I simply took out the negative space and ironed it on the shirt.

Here's hoppin' that the little guy likes his gift.  Thanks for stopping by!
