Wait! Don’t Throw That Away! A fun stamp project

07/29/201407/29/2014Leave a comment

HI Everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I wanted to share this project with you because its quick and totally fun, It is also a good way to add custom stamps to your art supplies super cheap and you’re keeping something out of the landfill.

Inside part of spent saran wrap.
Inside part of medical tape.
Foam disks.

I drive my boyfriend crazy. I will not let him throw anything away that I think I might be able to turn into ….well anything. After using up a roll of Saran wrap I noticed how sturdy the inside cardboard is. Not the floppy kind that are inside paper towels, this one is super hard. What could I do with that? It’s too good to throw away! teehee.

At the same time I was nursing a freak wrist injury so I was using medical tape to wrap it up and keep it from moving, It also has this super hard core of cardboard. Hmmm.

Then I found these foam disk things we have had forever, to keep things from slamming and protecting walls and stuff. Hmmmm.

The stamp from trash was born. It is a super quick easy project, you definitely do not have to use the foam round things, you can use whatever you like, you can cut any shape you want with that foam sticky paper, probably even glue gun if your careful.

The length of the Saran wrap cardboard is great for continuous patterns on bigger pieces of paper (lines, chevron patterns, floral) because it can roll.

It would be a quick project to distract the kids for a bit.

I hope you enjoy!

Apply foam disks to cardboard roller.

You can make patters with the foam disks.

Add foam disks all the way around the cardboard of old medical tape.

Stamp away

good times

I love anything that keeps something out of the landfill! The possibilities are endless!

Happy Crafting!

Laguna Beach California Sawdust Arts Festival 2014

The Sawdust Art Festival is a non-profit organization. Its goal… educate the public and
promote the art created in Laguna Beach. It is so much fun, if your local you must check out the amazing sawdust-covered paths and wander around the handcrafted village.

The Laguna Beach Sawdust Arts Festival is held every year in Laguna Canyon California. This year the festival will run from Friday June 27 – August 3. This is an awesome little setup nestled in the beautiful Laguna Canyon just before you hit Laguna Beach.

This festival is a ton of fun. There are so many different local vendors showcasing their handmade art. The talent is amazing and there is something new and different around every corner.

This year my boyfriends band the “LA Soul Project” played for a few hours..

They were a big hit!

Escape to Mammoth Mountain

07/20/201407/20/2014Leave a comment

Hi!

I am sorry it has been so long since my last post. There have been many things going on in my little universe. A vacation, a move and a whole bunch of other stuff all crammed into one little month.
I am finally all moved and will hopefully have all my crafting and sewing paraphernalia sorted so I can get some work done!

The beginning of June started with an amazing but too short trip up North to Rock Creek in the Mammoth Mountains for fishing and some hiking. The pictures are from day two, You would never know it but the day before was overcast and the second we hit our camping site it started raining! So we had to set up our tents in the rain! I love the rain and we were quick at tent set up so at least we were able to get a fire going …. I must say there is nothing like sitting out in the rain around a fire in the woods! It is amazing up there, It’s crazy to still see snow on the mountains in California in June.
