Scrap Paper Mother's Day Card DIY- Mother's Day 2012 - How Tuseday!

I found some great DIY instructions for beautiful handcrafted Mother's Day cards around the web last night. Here are three of them you should check out:








Mother's Day is Sunday! So I thought I would  also share a quick how-to for making a Mother's Day card with scrap paper. I used some spare scrapbook paper that I had, and a 5x7 (A7) blank greeting card. You can find blank greeting cards at many local big-name stores, and online also. You could also use blank card stock paper if you have it around your home!

Here's what I did, and the supplies I used:






In case you can't read the text on the pictures (the text is smaller than I thought), here are the steps:

Supplies: Blank Greeting Card or Card stock, Glue/Sealant, Paint, Pen, Your favorite quote or Poem, Scrap Paper ( I used Scrapbook paper), Paint Brush.

1. Draw a pattern on the blank card, and add colored paint of your choice (I used acrylic paint).
    Then paint over this with white paint before the colored paint has completely dried.

2. Write a quote or poem of your choice over the paint.
    Then lightly paint over the written text with white paint also.

3. Lay out the scrap paper in whatever pattern that you like.
    Seal it on the greeting card with glue or glaze. I used Inkssentials Glossy Accents.

Have a great Tuesday! If you have found any great how-to's today, or have one of your own, share them in the comments section of this post. I would love to check them out.

It's Monday again! I'm on ArtFire now.

Just got my daughter down for a nap after her play group, so I can make a new post today!
Over the weekend, I decided to make an ArtFire account. So far I really like it, and everyone there has been very nice and helpful. I have the same items there that I do on Etsy right now.
I found out that on ArtFire you don't need an account to make a purchase, so I thought it would be a good option for some customers! I can't wait to see how things go there. There is a link to my artfire site on the right side of this blog.

Also over the weekend, I started working on some bracelets. I hope to finish them today so I can post them throughout the week on both sites.

Now, summer is fast approaching, and that means wearing sunglasses for some people! Here is a great DIY post I found on changing up your sunglasses: DIY: Miu Miu Inspired Sunnies

And here are some handmade and vintage listings that are sunglasses themed:

I have a few pairs of sunglasses for my daughter, she loves them. Do you wear sunglasses? What style do you like best? I love comments here! Have a great Monday!
