Recycled Halloween Box

Hola everyone!

I've been really busy this week, and is not until the last minute that I decided to do something Halloween related.

I had some empty Truvia sweetener boxes laying around waiting for some craft, so I decided to use them for my Halloween box.

I covered the box with ModPodge and black cardstock, and used a Martha Stewart Halloween border punch for the border of the box.

Using silver glitter glue, I hand drew a spider web to place my cute little spider, which I made with a mini-foam ball covered in white glitter and white pipe cleaners for the legs.  I added some googly eyes to make it kind of cute and funny.

Well, hope you like my simple, yet cute recycled Halloween box.  I hope it inspires you to do something with those recyclables!

Peace and healthy days!

Personalized Composition Notebook

Hola Everyone!

Wow! 2 posts in one day! LOL

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!  And if you are in Puerto Rico, I really hope you are enjoying this wonderful sunny Sunday.  It is beautiful out there!!!  As for me, as soon as I finish this post, I will head out to see a play in the theater.  So, yey for Sundays!

I wanted to share with you the gift I gave my wonderful boss for Boss' Day.  She loves anything Paris, so I thought it was an appropriate theme for her gift.  She LOVED it!!!

This is a basic composition notebook, the ones you can find for less than a dollar at the dollar store or your favorite school supply store.  

I used this Bella Boutique Stack from DCWV to cover the notebook.

Fabric and glitter Petaloo flowers, a spray painted initial chipboard, a glimmer misted doily and a cut Eiffel Tower from this svg, completed the look.

I hope you like this personalized composition notebook.  It was very easy and fun to make.  Oh, and inside the first flap, I placed a handmade string envelope.

Leave me a comment with your thoughts or a link to your version if I inspired you to make your own!

Peace and healthy days!

DIY - String tie envelopes

Hola everyone!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!  Here in the Island of Enchantment, is nice and sunny, kind of a summer day, even though we are still in hurricane season.

I LOVE string tie envelopes.  To me, they are just so cute and feminine!  And with the right paper, they can just be a very cute addition to any layout or album you want to make or gift.

I am going to share with you the envelope template/tutorial I used to make the envelope inside the gift I gave my wonderful boss for Boss' Day. (kinda of a sneak peek of the gift... wicked me!)

Surfing the web the old way (using Google instead of Pinterest), I came across an oldie but goodie tutorial on string tie envelopes from MinieCo over at the UK.

One thing I did change from the original blogger, is that I added a lining to my envelope to make it a bit more personalized.  And instead of string, I used a rubber hair band.

Hope you like my envelope!  For the tutorial and the template, click here.

Peace and healthy days!
