Remember that $2.99 frame I picked up from Goodwill? This weekend, I gave it a facelift… The little bugger surprised me: the inner frame is covered in velvety goodness! No spray paint on that section. Surprise! Because of this surprise, I needed to tape it up a bit. I used my Krylon Fusion spray paint [...]
Happy Sunday! If there’s one thing I know as an artist and designer, it’s that I. LOVE. SPRAY PAINT. Plain and simple. I must admit, however, that I don’t tend to use it in the typical fashion… which obviously means it’s a lot more fun! That’s why I bring you Spray Paint Week for the next [...]
I love October – the fall, crisp air. Pumpkin flavored this and that. HALLOWEEN. It’s my favorite. It should be no surprise, then, that I wanted to make my new place a little more festive for the fall holiday season. For starters, I grabbed a template from Martha Stewart and cut out the bat shape.

I’ve been a fan of the color mists and sprays for several years, so I was thrilled to see Pink Paislee release their Mistables line last year. This past weekend, while at a creative retreat, I started really playing with them and I had a ton of fun. This was my first layout. I used [...]
I’ve always been like the square peg in a round hole: never really seemed to fit in. Until one day in college, when I decided to embrace it. That’s when, of course, I found my kindred spirits among my fellow art majors. Since then I’ve been doing what I do best, standing out from the [...]
For day 2 of Irish Love, I wanted to share a favorite little snack with you. We all know about the Girl Scout Cookies that have invaded America in the past month or so, and this treat is inspired by those girls in green. Make your own thin mint-y cookies with a few simple ingredients. [...]
