I know I've made some unique (and unusual) projects over the years including this pistachio shell necklace and these cereal box notebooks, so you can imagine how many times I get asked, “how do you come up with these ideas?!” Well folks, I think it’s time to answer that question! My process is pretty simple: (1) research (2) inspiration (3) create. And since the "key" ingredient (see what I did there?) to finding inspiration is the research phase, I partnered with Bing for a behind-the-scenes look at how I came up with today's project! Bing challenged me to use their search tool, where I'm ..read more

DIY: Mini Instagram Photo Book

I always find that handmade gifts are the best way to show your loved ones how much you care. Did you see my "10 Things I Love About You" Jar from last year? Lately, we've been taking more and more Instagram photos so I thought it would be fun to create a mini album with my favorite pictures to capture all the highlights from the past year. Since Tony and I are getting married this year, I think it might actually be a fun little tradition to create one of these for every year of our marriage. And since they're tiny, you don't need a ton of materials and scrapbook supplies to make them. Su ..read more

Hi folks! I just got back from an amazing week in Salt Lake City for the Cricut Explore launch event and the Alt Summit blogging conference. I'm feeling so inspired after being around a group of 700 incredibly creative people!

I decided to turn one of my most popular DIY projects, the cereal box notebooks, into my business cards! Thanks to the custom logo stamps that Twin Soul Art Studio made for me, I think these came out awesome. With 25 cereal boxes from the 99¢ Store ..read more

It's finally here! Ever since Ladies' Home Journal approached me six months ago to create a craft project for their November issue, I have been anticipating to see the final product. I've been reading Ladies' Home Journal for years and it is such an honor to turn the page and see myself featured inside! This is my all-time favorite issue of LHJ, not only because I'm featured in it (ok that's 95% of the reason), but also because one of my favorite chef's, Giada De Laurentiis, shares some of her delicious healthy recipes. I'm not much of a baker, but those mini carrot-apple cupcakes are tempt ..read more

DIY: No-Sew Fringe Scarf
Crème de la Craft

A piece of fabric and a ball of yarn is all you need to make your own stylish fringed scarf! Bonus points: no sewing involved (high five to my fellow sewing-challenged crafters). It’s one of those easy projects that you can finish while watching TV on your couch (at least that’s what I did). Just simply pick your favorite fabric & yarn, cut, knot and wear! The perfect little accessory when you want to add a splash of color to any outfit.  As long as you pick the right type of fabric as the base of your scarf, you won't need to sew the edges. Rayon/lycra is perfect for this, bec ..read more

Got a few empty nail polish bottles laying around? Upcycle them into colorful flower bud vases! What's great about this DIY tutorial is that you probably have most (if not all) of these craft supplies at home, which makes this a really easy and cheap project to make. I always find myself picking flowers from my yard and I love that I now have mini bud vases to display them in. You can use artificial flowers too. Create a bunch and add them to any room for a pop of color! Materials: • Dry or almost empty nail polish bottle • Disposable plastic cup • Spray paint (color of your choice ..read more

A few weeks ago I partnered with one of my favorite photographers, Melody Melikian, for a craft photoshoot! This gal has some serious talent when it comes to capturing emotion, colors and those special candid moments in her pictures. We organized a little outdoors craft workshop where we made coasters, drank lemonade and enjoyed crafting out in the wilderness for a change. We had a blast and I love how the pictures turned out! Check out more photos and my Q&A on Melody’s photo blog. These drink coasters are one of my all-time favorites, because they include the 3 ingredients to what ..read more
