I got busy creating my tissue paper tabletop tree. This project requires a lot of patience and free time. You can do the flowers while watching TV or when you are not doing anything at all. If you are planning to have this decor on Christmas start early like around September so you don't need to rush.  Things you'll need: 4 rolls of blue tissue paper / crepe paper 8 rolls of white

Another scarf that I saw in Pinterest struck me and feel in love with it. I got some ideato Desiree of Suddenly Found here but I made few changes that I think it would be easy for me.   Here's how I did it. My fabric is a jersey knit that is 72 inches in length but I cut it to 62 inches (to create a about 30 inches loops). Set aside the remaining. For this project you will need about 45

When I saw this scarf in Pinterest, I told myself I will make one for myself. Now, it turns out not just for me but for my sisters too. I showed the photo to my younger sister, Dette. She loved it. Now, I will be sending this from Vancouver, BC to San Francisco, CA. Long way to go! This scarf below is from the very talented Keight from Put Up Your Dukes shared her tutorial of this braided

We all seen this cotton jersey scarf. I had a used long sleeve cotton jersey that I thought I can use to make this scarf. This is a combination of seam and tied knots jersey scarf. First cut the shirt into strips about an inch from the bottom up to the underarm. Stretch the fabric. To add some volume, I also used the sleeves of my jersey. Cut the seams on the sides. Cut the

I found this pillow case from my neighbor and family friend's donation bags. I liked the embroidery and I need one more throw pillow for my living room. I also love the fabric. It also reminded me of those days when I visit my grandfather's house. They have a lot of these pillow cases. I used the same technique when I printed the chevron and quatrefoil throw pillows. In this, I decided to

The first time I joined Link Parties I only joined few blog hosts. The reason is it was too time consuming. And when you joined tons of blog parties your post will end up very long because the buttons are not uniform in sizes. I decided to think of something that will help me joined a lot of blog parties and make my posting short because of the uniform hosts' buttons. Here's what I came up with

This is the bookshelf where I create my own background. I got this bookshelf for free in Craigslist. I liked it because of the mini bar in which I converted to mini working area/office (sort of secretary desk). I am not fan of the dark color. I live in a townhouse with a small living and dining spaces. Placing a dark furniture like this will make my space looks crowded. So I decided to transform

Happy Sunday followers and visitors! Welcome to my new followers!  I have this small problem in my blogger dashboard. Did this ever happened to you that all the blogs you followed in your blogger dashboard are gone?   I am not sure if it's because: 1.

For those who wants to maximize the use of their Cricut machine, I have a tutorial that I want to share. I can't help to love those shelves with wallpaper backgrounds. But Oh man! wallpapers are  expensive (for me). So, I decided to create my own background.   I used my Sure Cuts a Lot 2 software and Cricut to cut the background. I used my spare cardstocks that I don't use. I want to maximize

As I promised in my Chevron and Quarterfoil Throw Pillow Case posting, I will post a tutorial on how I printed the Chevron and Quatrefoil without using painter's tape. (I don't recommend you NOT to use a painter's tape. It's just me that seems a lot of work and tape to use to cover a pillow.) If you'd like to use a tape, Cyndy of  the The Exchange has a great tutorial on how to screen

I've been looking for lamps in Craigslist and at last it happened. When my husband and I picked-up the lamps, he gave me that "look" (meaning if I am sure about it). But after that "look", he said, "I know you can transform it!" Wow what a relief! I am glad that my husband believes in me. When I finally finished both lamps and turn it on, he really appreciate it and told me that it so calming

I bought a pair of lamp in Craigslist. It came with a pair of bell lamp shades that are looks humongous for the lamps. I do not have a budget to buy a pair of drum lamp shades. Since the shades are big, I decided to try and convert it to drum shade. If I fail, then I will be patient to look for lamp shades in Craigslist. It's good I didn't.  Here's how I did it.

I decided to lighten-up my serving tray. Here's the before Here's the after. Here's how I did it. 1.  Cover the sides of a painter's tape. 2.  Prime it with Zinsser Water Base Primer. Use two coats. 3.  Paint it with the color of your choice. 4. Apply Polycrylic using foam brush (optional: this is to protect your painted furniture) 5. When paint is dry, place photo or loved

Here's how I did to transform my kitchen cabinets.  First remove all the cabinet doors then measure and cut the beadboard wallpaper. Next, wet the back of the wallpaper and let it sit for about 5 minutes then adhere to the cabinet doors (make sure to remove the bubbles by pressing it with cloth). An instruction is available in a piece of paper attached to the wallpaper packaging. Let

I have this kitchen for almost two years. I been thinking on how to transform it in a budget. I love the beadboard kitchen cabinets. One day while I was browsing the net I found the paintable beadboard wallpaper project of Rhoda of Southern Hospitality. The very first thing that pop-out in my mind, I can do this in my kitchen cabinets. Too bad during that time Rhoda was out of the wallpaper

I have this empty wall space in our kitchen that I been thinking what to put in. I decided to make something like a reminder and I came out with this. These are three 5 x 7 canvas that I bought from the dollar store. I used two coordinating cardstock. I applied Mod Podge in the canvass and put my cardstock. Then I applied Mod Podge again on top of the cardstock to look shiny and for protection.

I was inspired by Sandra here to post our family photos in the stairways. I would like my son to recognize and know my husband and I's family. Both of our parents and siblings are in abroad. It helps! Because every time we are using the stairs, he's pointing his fingers to the photos and bubbling their names. I bought all the frames from thrift store. Most of them are a buck to less than four

This was a frame with brown wood laminated background. It’s one of Ikea’s wall décor shown HERE. Both have chips in the corners. BTW, I bought this from a thrift store for less than two bucks.

My husband's cousin, Faith, had her 16th birthday last New Year's Eve. I was asked to design the invitation Why fries? Because she loves French fries.

Here's the finished product of the frames I was making for our dining area. It's really simple. I just painted the frames that I bought from Michaels (These were unpainted square without glass) with white acrylic paint. The paint is only from the dollar store and I used three coats. Still, I did not empty the whole thingy. Happy me! Then, I applied the gloss Varnish (make sure it is

He knows how to say "da-da", Than (for his name), ta-ta, bah (light), te (for Ate), Ta (for Tita or Aunt), pa-pa (for food) except for ma-ma. I got this idea from Stamp-n-Design.

Above is my Son's dedication favor. It's a magnetic frame with small calendar on it. Behind the calendar are four small photos of him. I told my husband that I like to attach a calendar so it will have a purpose and not just a display. Thanks to my sister-in-law and her husband for designing the pictures. My husband just made a little change. The box was made of cardstock. I cut it using my

I finally finished my son’s invitations for his dedication. I made my own template for the onesies. I asked my husband to edit a picture of my son and I can put it in front the invites. I used white Gelly Roll pen to create a stitched-like in parts of the onesies and added some brads for a snap-like thingy. Inside, I embossed the inside part to create some dimensions. The wordings, I used

I made this wooden name of my son, Nathan when I was still pregnant. I was about 8 or 9 months pregnant that time when I finished it. I bought everything from Michaels. The acrylic paint I used was Baby Blue. The characters used are all made when I got them. WAU_tab('fynxdh27u9ob', 'bottom-right')

I have an acrylic pens and tools organizer but it cannot fit all my stuff. I saw this desk caddy in HERE  and I decided to make one to have my tools organized. I used Stampin' Up cardstock for base and Martha Stewart (Playful Pink) for the green circular patterned paper and DCWV (The Spring Glitter Stack) for the other patterned cardstock. The letters I used UTEE to embossed them and make it

I decided to make my own alcohol ink applicator/dabber. I went to my local Michaels and it will cost me a lot to buy the branded one. I am on a tight budget. Consider the prices here in Canada are way...way up compare to US plus the tax. Here's the finished product. They're made up of wood, foam, and self-adhesive fasteners. I painted it black but I am planning to change the color because
