DIY Duck Tape Pennant Pencil Pouch
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Duck Brand. All opinions are 100% mine.There is something so exciting about new school supplies! A brand new pack of pencils and a blank notebook are just full of potential and promise, don't you think? Back to school time is a great time to whip up some personalized school supplies too, and Duck Tape is a fun and easy way to add some custom flair, especially because it comes in so many colors and patterns (over 200 styles, you guys, including pineapple!). Plus, it's great a great material for crafting with the kids.

Watermelon Washi Tape Notecards
This post was originally created by me for Darice. Well, folks, today is supposed to be the first day to hit 100 degrees here, so it is officially, without-a-doubt Summer. Summer means a lot of things to me - mostly AC, pools, and sunscreen. But when I think Summer, I also think barbecues and watermelon - big ol' juicy slices of it. Watermelon has not always been my favorite fruit to eat, but it is definitely one of the cutest fruits out there, which makes it perfect for decorating a little notecard! I created these simple cards using a fun technique that allows you to easily make stickers out of washi tape! Want to learn? Let's do this!

Simple Geometric Washi Heart Treat Bags
This post was sponsored by Target, but it is my 100% honest opinion that Target is awesome. I'm a big Target fan. In fact, it is rare that I'm not there every week if not twice a week, and pretty much no Target trip is complete without a stop by the One Spot. My kids love to pick out a little toy or treat, and I like to search for holiday, home decor, and craft supplies. I have found so many great things there, and right now, there are loads of great supplies perfect for Valentine's Day. All of these lovely craft supplies - gel pens, paper straws, treat bags, burlap bows, rubber stamps, chalkboard tags, banner kits, and washi tape - it can all be picked up in the One Spot at Target for just one to three bucks. Total steal, right? You have to hit up your local One Spot quickly ... [Read More]
Easy Washi Tape Storage

Today, I am sharing a little sneak peak of one of my favorite parts of my new craft space. This project is so super simple, I almost feel silly posting it. Almost. But I can't really feel silly sharing something that works, looks great, and is easy, can I? No, no I can't. Anyway - you all know that in a small room that has to a hold a lot of stuff, it's smart to get as much stuff as possible onto the walls. Make those walls WORK. So I designated the wall above a cabinet holding boxes of craft supplies as the washi tape storage space. I love my new washi tape storage because 1. it is pretty, 2. I can see all of my tapes all the ... [Read More]
