The countdown is on, we are patiently waiting for spring. This winter has been long, full of lots of cold days where you don’t want to even leave your house.  Today the weather finally got to 40 degrees , the sun was shinning and I felt a little hope that spring is on it’s way.

I am so over the snow and brown grass , I need color.

Whenever I am at the thrift stores I love picking up random colored candle sticks. I finally got a nice collection gathered and thought It would be so fun to put them on the table with my new Article pink chairs.

I love the simplicity of it all.

The pink article chairs really pull everything together with their sleek modern lines .

I just love all the bright colors, I think I got my Easter table scape already done !!!!

I have been working like crazy trying to make my new apartment feel like more like home . I went through over 6 gallons of paint turning the walls from poop brown to bright white!! What an amazing difference a little paint can make.  ( I will be sharing more soon )

To cover up a big electrical box I bought a big ikea frame and made this inspirational print , because let’s be honest we all need a little encouragement !!!

I got lots of requests on Instagram asking where the print was from and lucky I made it and am sharing it with you today!!! I would love to see your prints once you have them printed to make sure to tag me so I can see!!!

*printing suggestions: The print is sized to 18×24 so it is already to be printed. I print at office max and ask for the blue print paper which only costs $5 !!!!

And how cute are these article chairs !!!! Everyone needs a set !!!

    Diana - wow wow! it’s a great creation here. Love it!!! ThanksReplyCancel

I’ve never been a big fan of the Thanksgiving color scheme . Maybe its the gross mix of black and brown together or the dullness of all the colors put together.

As I prep for Thanksgiving this week I am giving this Holiday’s color scheme another chance. Everything seems to be better with a mix of pink added to it.

Wishing you a wonderful start to your Thanksgiving week !!!

There is something so wonderful about celebrating a friends birthday, even if it gets delivered in the mail.  The last couple months have been full of birthdays and I just love making people feel a little extra loved on their special day .

I am not usually a gift card buyer but when your friend loves Amazon Prime, I knew it would make the perfect gift for her.

Using my favorite paper from Maggie Holmes collection I create a super simple gift tag card !!! If your like me, and love using tags for gifts you are going to love this project.

To create the gift tag card you will need to use a paper tag as your template.

First, fold a piece of card-stock paper in half. This fold should be as big as your template tag.  Trace the tag onto your card stock paper with the fold on the left side of the tag ( like a folded card ) .  Lastly, cut your tag design from your traced card stock paper, you should have created a card in the shape of a paper tag.

To finish off my tag card I added brown tape to the front and back for looks and added a hole punch.

Inside the folded tag card I added pattern paper and embellishments along with a personalized typed note. ( side note: make sure you type on the front of your card before working on the inside )

As you can see, it is the perfect size for a gift card.

Once your gift card is finished slip it into a envelope and don’t forget to add a stamp if mailing !!!!

If you haven’t had the chance to check out the new sticker book from Maggie Holmes collections you are missing out. It seriously has so many stickers and will add the finishing touches to all your projects  !!!!
