Espresso Yourself

Well its 9:20pm, so its still Tuesday! I'm actually blogging while watching Craft Wars! I'm addicted and wishing I could be on the show myself!

Today's Stampin Card was made for my Sister-in-law. We are both avid coffee drinkers, so for her birthday I figured whats better than a coffee inspired card.

Its yet another sweet and short blog... Hope you enjoy today's card:

Man Cave

Every man should have a space that his own. I think. I have a whole craft room, so it seemed only fair to let my hubby have his own space. So we converted our formal dining room, which we never used into his game room. But of course I had to put my crafty touch on it. =)

Man Cave Sign:

Supplies:

Tree Board or Any Decorative Board
Brown Vinyl Sheet (or any color you wish)
Give a Hoot Cartridge

Plantin SchoolBook Cartridge

I saw this awesome tree wood board at JoAnns which inspired me:

I've been dying to use my Cricut Vinyl to make something, so I used this opportunity.
 

I found a Moose on one of my cartridges and went to work. I practiced on some scrap paper to make sure I got the size I wanted before cutting into my vinyl sheet. 

Trash to Storage

I recently made a diaper cake for a baby shower and had a left over diaper box. I was about to throw it away until I came across this awesome tutorial! At the right time too! I was wanting to go buy some new storage for my craft room, when I discovered I already had everything I needed at home!

 First I measured the outside and cut the corners off

I used spray adhesive to attach the fabric to the box

Like the majority of my projects I use remnant pieces from JoAnns. Each time I go to JoAnns I sift through their remnants whether I'm looking for a specific project or not. I tend to go overboard, but I find the fabrics I like and then most of time have what I need on-hand when the time comes. So since I used scraps I didn't have a piece big enough to make the lining. So I used two different fabrics to create the size I needed. 

And Viola... 

Now I have the perfect storage for all my remnants =)

Elephants Always Remember

Yet another short and sweet craft. I have been working twice as many hours this week, which means I have had less time to craft =( But a better income =)

Today's craft is another EAD Designs project. And what I used is actually on sale right now! You can find it here.

 

I started with a simple chalkboard from JoAnns and added the EAD Rub-ons.
I wanted to use it as our prayer board. =)

Pretty in Pink & Lace

Another count down to Europe craft (T-Minus 14 days)
Today's Sew Cute Project: Camera Strap Cover

My inspiration came from TheCraftyGemini
and several pictures seen on Pinterest

Each time I go to JoAnns I always search through their fabric remnants, so I found the softest material I could find since it will sit around my neck. Once I saw the pink I knew the only way to go was lace =)

I was so thrilled about how it turned out, I immediately went to show it off to my husband. His response... "Well now I can't use it" Ha! I guess I will be taking all the Europe pictures or he will just have to deal with the pink and lace. =)
