Therese's Crafty Cabana

Hi everyone! Since Valentine's Day is just a week away, I wanted to create a fun project inspired by my husband. He's really great a giving me ideas of what to make and this time he said he wanted me to make a Valentine lamp. He even helped pick out the colors and I think it turned out super cute! First off, I have to shout out to SVG Cuts for making such cute files. I didn't have a lamp file of theirs, even though the do have one, so I got creative trying to piece together different components from different kits to come up with my version. The kits I used are: Santa's Village - I used the Santa hat box bottom for the lamp shade. Home for the Holidays - I used the pitcher for the base of the lamp (I modified it by covering up the holes where the handle goes). For My Valentine - I used one of the hearts in the extras folder to create the hearts on the lamp shade. Supplies I used: Washi tape (for the black border around the lamp shade and lamp base) ...

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share a really fun and easy mini album idea that I found on Pinterest! I have been looking up all sorts of mini albums and welcome you to follow my mini album Pinterest board if you too want some fun inspiration. This mini was inspired by a Pin by Bubble Gum and Duct Tape , which has easy step by step instructions for the base of the album. Here is how my album turned out...   For the cover I used a stamp to create a subtle background and then another stamp for "memories". I hand wrote 2008 and all of the graphics in the album are from Miss Kate Cuttables .   Since this album is made of pockets, I made 3.75" x 2.75" cards that can pull out of the pockets. I added a circle to the top of the cards and the pictures slip under the circle. I used colorful cards made from cardstock and I think it really adds to the fun factor in this album as well as the super cute embellishments.     Have a happy day!...
