DIY "Aaaaah Spa" Robe

Have you ever worn a fancy spa or hotel robe? They are always so luxurious and plush and usually have gorgeous monogramming. But who wants to pay for that embroidery on a robe? Well, with Joy embroidered letters, you can have that fancy look for less!

Creativation 2017, Part 2: Love That Paper!

As a scrapbooker, I love to see all of the new paper lines at the big Creativation show. While there may not be quite as many paper companies as there once were, scrapbooking was still a big presence at the show. Here's a look at the ones that I really liked -- can't wait to get my hands on these!

Vintage Valentine

Who says your valentines have to be red and pink? Instead, why not go vintage! Using embellishments with a vintage feel, you can decorate a Deflecto acrylic craft frame to look like a cherished heirloom.

Creativation 2017, Part 1: Hot New Stamps

I am back from a wonderful trip to Creativation 2017! Creativation is the huge trade show just for the craft and hobby industry and it is amazing. It's where craft companies debut their new products for the year. If you are a love of all things crafty like I am, it's like walking through heaven (well, at least until your feet start hurting...)!

I saw so many awesome new products that there is no way I can cover them all, so I have chosen the products that I thought were the best - the most innovative, different, and coolest things I could find!

For part 1 of my show recap, I am focusing on stamps and stamp and die sets. I'll bet you will see something you like!

Coffee Station Organization

Do you have a coffee maker that uses those little KCups? We do and we love it! But sometimes, my cup stash is a mess. They are in different boxes in the cabinets and I have to dig through them to find the flavor I want. When you are in dire need of that morning cup, that extra effort is no bueno. When I go for my daily cup of java, I want to be able to get to it as quickly as possible (so that it can work it's magic even faster), so I decided to organize my KCups using Deflecto's Stackable Four 4-Drawer Cube Organizer!

"Cookies for Santa" DIY recipe frame and signs

We all know the importance of leaving cookies and milk for Santa. After all, he has to get hungry while traveling all around the world, right?

This year, I am keeping that tradition alive with this cookie display using Deflecto frames and sign holders. Both of these can be used over and over so that you can display them year after year.

"Santa Stop Here" sign

Want to make sure Santa pays you a visit? Then make a sign telling him! This quick and easy craft is fun for kids and adults alike.

Materials needed:

• blank wooden sign
• red acrylic paint
• foam paintbrush
• Design Master SnoBlast spray
• JOY embroidered stick-on letters

1. Paint sign with red acrylic paint using a foam brush. Allow paint to dry. I am super impatient, so I used a heat gun to speed up the process.  
2. Stick on the embroidered letters (I like to stagger my letters so that I don't have to worry about them being straight!)
3. Spray sign with SnoBlast spray. The amount of snow is all based on personal preference; I wanted my letters to really stand out so I just gave my sign a light dusting of "snow", but you can always add more! Also make sure you use this spray outside or you will end up with a covering of "snow" all over your house -- believe me!
4. Hang and enjoy!

There's no way that Santa will skip your house with this sign, even if you have been naughty!

Happy holidays and happy crafting!
