My Makeup Paint Can!

How cute is this! I needed a place to keep my makeup brushes. So, when out at a craft store, I found these cute, clear pails with handles. They come in all different sizes! I took a 12 x 12 piece of chevron blue scrapbook paper, cut to size, and inserted it into the pail. To the outside of the pail, I added an adhesive initial "T."

I added some decorative marbles inside and added ribbon to the top rim, as well as, on each side of the handle. Finally, I added the brushes and here it is! So easy and convenient for storing my makeup brushes! I plan on decorating the other two pails in owl décor to give as Christmas gifts!

Wood Blocks

My weekend project! How cute! My husband and I teamed up for this crafty project. He cut the wood to size and smoothed the edges. Then, I did the rest! I can't wait to make more wood blocks this weekend!

"I Do" Chipboard and Paper Bag Album

I made this for a special "Bride-to-be" who will be getting married next fall. I thought that she could put her bridal shower pictures in this little mini. Orange and Green will be the theme!

Here are all of the pages (It will hold 21 pictures):

Landscaping Walls

Our Landscaping Walls are finished! Now for the fun part, to fill the tiers with bushes, trees, and flowers. Oh, how I love the Fall season! Any suggestions for types of trees to consider for these top and bottom wall tiers?

We have a ginkgo tree here in this half wall out in front of our house. We hope to have it all landscaped and finished by the end of October. :)

"I Love My Dog" Chipboard and Paper Bag Album

Summer is slowly slipping away! This little album is one that I managed to complete during the busy summer months. I used a variety of dog scrapbook paper and embellishments. I love the sparkle that some of the pieces have-especially on the back cover! Take a look!

"Celebrate" Wall Display

My husband and I gave our Home Office a major redo this past week! Here are the before and after pictures: December 2008 and July 2013

What a difference! You can view more pictures of our redo by going to my Teaching Tiny Treasures By T blog. Check out this cute little scrapbooking wall display that I made to remind us of upcoming important birthdays and anniversaries!

I bought a large, white round wood circle and covered it with a piece of scrapbook paper using mod podge.

Then, I took a piece of bird-shaped chipboard and covered it as well with coordinating scrapbook paper and let it dry.

Next, I took a piece of twine and hot glued it to the wood piece. I positioned and placed the bird on top of the twine.

Then, I added some white flowers and other embellishments to the bird and twine. For the next step, I tried to find a door knob to screw into the wood, however, it would have stuck out through the back of the wood piece. So, instead, I used three white push pins to press into the wood. I hot glued buttons over the tips of the pins and added some green gem embellishments.

Finally, I placed some white metal rings over the pins to display important anniversary and birthdays of people in our family!

Now, I should be plenty ahead in remembering these upcoming dates!
