Pinterest Made Me Do It #22.....

Today's post is a little Flash back on "Pinterest Made Me Do It" because back on #4, I made a fabric covered bulletin board for Alex.  I still had one for me and found some super cute fabric in my stash and knew that it was my turn to get a bulletin board! 

Here are my supplies:

 

Luckily the spray adhesive is giving, allowing me to move the fabric around some:

 

Once the fabric is set, it was time to use my thumbtacks (make sure not to attach fabric to the back before this step so that it has some give):

Being the picky person that I am, I didn't like how the silver thumb tacks looked.

 

So I thought maybe I'd cover each tack with a button:

 Unfortunately, I didn't have enough buttons, so that would be expensive to go the button route.

 

I spent $1.88 at the WalMarts for som white thumbtacks:

They were perfect!

 

Here's a peek at my scrap area:

 

 Excuse the mess on the desk, Alex was there!  (love that he uses the area too!)

 

Over in the flower/ribbon corner is my cool tray:

 

 Then my fabric area/reading nook:

 

I have lots more ideas for decorating the craft space, but am trying to only use what I have on hand!

Pinterest Made Me Do It #21....

Saw THIS layout on Pinterest (the one on the right), but just didn't have a pattern paper that I liked, so I made my own!  I took a piece of grey cardstock, some acrylic alpha stamps and VersaMark:

 I really like how it turned out.  I don't use my stamps often enough and need to start!

Here's the finished layout:

I'm loving all of the gold that's hot in scrapbooking right now and guess what I found in my stash?  2 sheets of gold glitter paper, SCORE!  So you'll be seeing gold glittery bits and bobs on my layouts.

Still making school layouts for Haley and Alex.  I loved this THIS layout on you guessed it, Pinterest!

 

Love to see Haley at this age, makes me feel sentimental and SO excited for her to start Grad School on the 14th!

Pinterest Made Me Do It # 19....

I have to ask myself if I ever have original thoughts anymore or does everything come from Pinterest?!  Well, why re-invent the wheel?  Ha!  When I saw THIS pin, I knew it was for me!  I made a ton of posies and then glue gunned them to my lampshade for my antique milk glass lamp:

 

 Then, viola:

LOVE! 

I still really like the colors of the posies in the original pin, so I might need to acquire another milk glass lamp.
