Trash into Treasure..

Not Much Creativity Here.

Turning an old ugly black 4 foot spoon into a silver shiny one. 

Only spray paint needed, oooh! So tough! ;)

Not too much to say about this "project"

This was a white elephant gift at a christmas party we went to.

My dad wanted to strip it down to pure wood.

I saved him time and just painted it with good ol' silver spray paint. 

I always wanted one of those fancy big spoons

to hang on my kitcken wall

That you can find at Target or Hobby Lobby

However, those things are expensive! 

This was my cheap, lucky way of getting what I wanted. hah

Homemade White Board.

My Homemade Reusable Wedding White Board. 
Here I created something for my wedding that would be useful afterwards. 

This is a regular old ugly picture frame with real glass. I just painted the frame red (one of our wedding colors) and the bought a nice glittery white paper for the inside. The words were written with a dry erase marker. However the effect of having it work white board only works if the glass is real. Plexi-glass and other fake glass, allows you write on it with dry ease marker but it is difficult to erase. 

This was the main purpose for the white board frame

My wedding guest book table. 

Above I have the Before picture, before any paint, new background color or nice writing was on it.

After picture is the finish product I used at my wedding by our guest book. (Second picture above)

And the Now picture is what I have in my home now. 

I am able to reuse the white board as something more suitable for my home. If I want to write something new all I have to do is erase just like a regular white board. 

Wedding Creations

8.11.12 the day I married my best friend of four years.

We wanted our wedding to be fun and reflex our personalities  Something that when people thought back to the wedding they thought "wow that was unique and fun". From what I hear we accomplished our goal.

Everything you see here I created through an adobe program, the sheet was blank or canvas when I started.

Pinterest sparked some great ideas. 
Feel free to click the pictures for a better look!

Here is our wedding invitations.

When you opened the invite you tied a knot.

Everything you see was designed by me

excluding the blue heart background. 

my awesome husband helped pre-tie the knots, they had to be perfect 

or else it wouldn't make a knot when you opened it!

Our programs were also created by me

The design was very similar to the invites

I always hate trying to figure out which person is who in the bridal party,

so I made it easier and placed silhouettes in place of the bridal party 

I also added their name and relationship underneath each silhouette. 

The "Thank You" picture was our first picture together married, right off of the alter.

This picture was sent to everyone as a reminder of our wedding and a thanks. 

(We clearly purposely had the signs upside down, we're crazy)

Why not?

I may not be the most creative with my hands but my mind compensates for its loss.

The majority of the "crafts" I create for my home are created on the computer designed completely by me. Once in awhile i'll get a little dirty and use glue and color paper. I am not the type to blog about little daily things in my life. The sole purpose of this blog as of right now is to show you my crafts and maybe inspire some people to make their own. So lets just get started. 

Here is a lamp shade I revamped. Its pretty self explanatory.
