Hello Everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing that I didn't blog about last year was the opportunity that I had to be in a book by Leisure Arts and Prime Publishing! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I wanted to talk about that particular book, and share with you the sewing project that I contributed! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The book that I had the opportunity to contribute to is called <a href="https://www.leisurearts.com/quilted-wall-hangings-11-unique-projects-for-quilt-lovers-1.html" target="_blank">Quilted Wall Hangings - 11 Unique Projects for Quilt Lovers</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below is the<a href="https://www.leisurearts.com/quilted-wall-hangings-11-unique-projects-for-quilt-lovers-1.html" target="_blank"> official description</a> of the book:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see, the theme of the book is all about quilted wall hangings. I thought this was an interesting concept because it takes quilting (which can be a complicated craft) and makes it's much more manageable (in my opinion)! This is especially great if you are new to sewing and are looking for a simple but fun quilting project to make. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project that I contributed is called ''Jelly Roll” and is on page 36. If you are unfamiliar with what a ''jelly roll'' is in the sewing world, it's basically strips of pre-cut fabric that have been rolled. To get a better idea of what I'm talking about, you can check out some fabric jelly rolls <a href="https://www.fatquartershop.com/jelly-rolls" target="_blank">here</a>! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was so happy with how this project turned out and feel so blessed that I was able to be in the book! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are new to sewing and are looking for a fun project to make, I would definitely check out this book! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The book can be purchased through <a href="https://www.leisurearts.com/quilted-wall-hangings-11-unique-projects-for-quilt-lovers-1.html" target="_blank">Leisure Arts</a> as either a paperback or digital download. Also, you can purchase the book at some Jo-Ann Fabric Stores. </div>

Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
Long time no post!<br />
<br />
I’ve been super busy lately with my virtual assistant business, that my focus has been more on my business and less on creating tutorials. However, I did find time to knit a afghan!<br />
<br />
A few months ago, a company called <a href="https://us.deramores.com/" target="_blank">Deramores</a> contacted me to ask if I wanted to review one of there knitting kits. Of course, I said yes! So today, I am going to be reviewing Deramores' <a href="https://us.deramores.com/products/deramores-striped-afghan-kit?variant=36037024263" target="_blank">Striped Afghan Kit in Deramores Studio Chunky</a>.<br />

For starters, <a href="https://us.deramores.com/" target="_blank">Deramores</a> is a knit and crochet retailer in the UK. They are known for curating some of the best yarns and offer a wide variety of supplies to both knitters and crocheters. Besides serving the UK, they also serve those of us who are in the U.S. (yay)!<br />
<br />
The product that I was asked to review was one of there <a href="https://us.deramores.com/pages/search-results?findify_q=knitting%20kit&findify_limit=24&findify_offset=0&findify_filters%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=category&findify_filters%5B0%5D%5Bname%5D=category1&findify_filters%5B0%5D%5Bvalues%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D=Knitting%20Kits" target="_blank">knitting kits</a>. I got to choose between three kits and ended up choosing the <a href="https://us.deramores.com/products/deramores-striped-afghan-kit?variant=36037024263" target="_blank">Striped Afghan Kit in Deramores Studio Chunky</a>.<br />

In the kit, you got 14 balls of yarn and the directions in a PDF format (knitting needles were not included). The yarn was very good quality, super soft, and chunky. With that being said, you didn’t get to choose the yarn colors. For example, I have seen knitting kits (on other websites) where they offer the kits in multiple color choices. However, for this Striped Afghan, you only had one color choice/color combo which was mustard, frost (aka white), and elephant (aka grey).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Once I got the kit, knitting the afghan wasn’t too difficult. This is because you were using a combination of a moss and stockinette stitch. With that in mind, it did take a while to complete since you were knitting with 5 balls of yarn and were switching out those colors every few rows.<br />

Overall, I thought the afghan was super nice and the kit (including the price) was great! However, if I had to make one suggestion, I do think that Deramore could add more information to there website about the pattern itself. This is because the description of the pattern (as of right now) is very cut and dry.<br />
<br />
For example, they tell you the yarn weight, needle size, tension, author of the pattern, format of the pattern, the garment, and pattern count (in a list format). Other than that, they don’t tell you much else.<br />
<br />
Personally, when choosing a knitting or crocheting kit, I like to know as much information as possible. For example, skill level, an in-depth description of the kit/pattern, important additional information (like knitting with 5 balls of yarn), etc. When compared to a company like Lion Brand Yarn, I think Deramores could definitely improve how much information they tell there customers about there kits.<br />

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I am sharing my latest DIY project that I created for the <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank">Paper House Productions Design Team</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Before I talk about my project, I wanted to briefly say that as a member
of the design team I do get free products to create awesome DIY
projects. More specifically, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PaperHouseInc/" target="_blank">Paper House Productions</a>
is sponsoring this post. With that being said, as a member of their
design team, my projects will appear on the Paper House Productions blog
instead of mine own. However, I will write these types of posts to keep
you guys up-to-date about what is going on!<br />
<br />
Now that we have all of that out of the way, let's get back to the project!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project that I made for Paper House Productions this month is a <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/04/25/removable-sticky-note-dashboard-with-xyron/" target="_blank">Removable Sticky Note Dashboard</a>! Now, if you have been following the blog for a while, then you know that I usually don't create planner projects. This is not because I don't love planners (which I do), I'm just more of a home decor DIY sort-of girl. However, this month Paper House challenge it's Design Team to make a planner project, so this is what yours truly came up with. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Along with a planner project being one of our challenges for the month, our partner for the month was Xyron! You know <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/search?q=xyron" target="_blank">Xyon</a> has a special place in my heart, so I wanted to create a planner project that really showcased why Xyron is so darn awesome. <br />
<br />
In a nutshell, this Removable Sticky Note Dashboard is simple to make, can be customized to fit your planner, and can be made in under 20 minutes. Besides those fun facts, this planner is also a great option for those of you who can't add a ''pre-made'' sticky note dashboard to your planner.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project that I made for Paper House Productions this month is a set of <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/04/08/washi-tape-coasters-giveaway-winner/" target="_blank">Washi Tape Coasters</a>! If you have been following the blog for a while, then you know that I made coaster sets from <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/2015/09/diy-clay-fox-coasters.html" target="_blank">clay</a>, <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/2016/07/diy-stackable-felt-smore-coaster-set-on.html" target="_blank">fabric</a>, <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/2015/07/3-step-diy-calendar-coasters.html" target="_blank">calendars</a>, <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/2017/07/buttons-galore-more-make-fun-diy-sequin.html" target="_blank">sequins</a>, and more! However, I never thought of combining my love of washi tape with making coasters, until I received a bunch of gorgeous washi tape from Paper House Productions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To make the coasters, I used two different types of Paper House Production washi tape! The great thing about using Paper House’s washi tape sets is that you get both a wide and thin washi tape. Also, Paper House has a variety of washi tape that you can easily mix and match with each other. For this project, I chose to mix and match the <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/shop/life-organized/stargazer-washi-tape-set.html" target="_blank">Stargazer Washi Tape Set</a> with the <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/wine-washi-tape-set.html?___SID=U#.Wsvi6H8h3IV" target="_blank">Wine Washi Tape Set</a>, to get a galaxy look!</div>

you guys up-to-date about what is going on!<br />

Now that we have all of that out of the way, let's get back to the project!</div>

The project that I made for Paper House Productions this month is a <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/03/08/mini-canvas-clock-featuring-enamel-stickers/" target="_blank">Mini Canvas Clock Featuring Enamel Stickers</a>! So far, this is probably my favorite project that I have made for Paper House. I mean, can you guess why? lol </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I will give you three words.... llama enamel stickers! <br />
<br />
If you were not at Creativation this year and have not been following Paper House's social media, then let me get you caught up. Earlier this year, Paper House debuted their new enamel stickers which are soooo adorable! Each Enamel Sticker pack has a specific theme and contains about 10 to 13 stickers which are very vibrant in color. When I first saw the enamel stickers I instantly fell in love with the graphics and how the enamel stickers are lined or trimmed in gold. <br />
<br />
Of course, when I saw the llama enamel stickers, I lost my mind and knew I had to create some-sort of project with them.</div>

Which brings us to today! <br />
<br />
As I mentioned before, today on the Paper House blog, I will be showing you how to create a <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/03/08/mini-canvas-clock-featuring-enamel-stickers/" target="_blank">Mini Canvas Clock</a>. This mini canvas clock was super easy to create because it's a no-mess project, the tutorial only has 3 steps, and the whole project can be made in under an hour! This is by far the easiest clock project I have ever made and you know I have made a <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/search?q=clock" target="_blank">few clocks</a> here on the blog. <br />
<br />

Hello Everyone!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s been a while since I have written a normal blog post, so I thought I would write a blog post about where I have been and what I have been doing for the past few months. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
For starters, you may have noticed that I have not been blogging as much as I use to. In the past, I was usually blogging a couple times a week or at the least once a week. Now, I’m only blogging about 4 times during the month. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is due to a couple of reasons.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. I have been looking for a normal 9-5 job since I graduated from college last year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. I am only on 1 design team now and don’t do as much freelance writing because of all the time it takes to find 9-5 job.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
3. While on my journey to find a 9-5 job (see a pattern here), I got an offer to be a part-time virtual assistant (working from home) which I absolutely love! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
4. I’m starting my own business. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Since my job hunt has turned into an intense game of scavenger hunt, I decided that starting my own small business (from home) might help generate some income while also giving me more experience for my resume. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I’m not going to announce my business yet because there are few more details that I need to work out. However, I will keep you posted and write a full blog post here on the blog since my business will be launching by the end of the month. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
With all that being said, I am still going to create projects and write content for this blog. The only thing that might be different from now on is the amount of content you see each month. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
If you want to see at least 2 projects from me each month, check out the <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Paper House Production’s blog</a>, where I am a member of their design team!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Also, come back on March 8 to see my first Paper House Production's project for March. Trust me you will LOVE it!</div>

Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I am sharing my latest DIY project that I created for the <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank">Paper House Productions Design Team</a>!<br />
<br />
Before I talk about my project, I wanted to briefly say that as a member
of the design team I do get free products to create awesome DIY
projects. More specifically, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PaperHouseInc/" target="_blank">Paper House Productions</a>
is sponsoring this post. With that being said, as a member of their
design team, my projects will appear on the Paper House Productions blog
instead of mine own. However, I will write these types of posts to keep
you guys up-to-date about what is going on!<br />
<br />
Now that we have all of that out of the way, let's get back to the project!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The project that I made for Paper House Productions this month is <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/02/24/beachy-bookmarks-featuring-the-sun-drenched-paper-pad/" target="_blank">Beachy Bookmarks Featuring The Sun Drenched Paper Pad</a>! For the month of February, the design team was asked to use the Sun Drenched Paper Pad to create a project. Since this particular paper pad is all about the beach, the first thing that came to my mind (of course) was reading. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Reading, in general, is something that I have grown to love over the years. Anymore, I'm always reading some sort of book or magazine (when I'm not crocheting, knitting or crafting) in my spare time. When it comes to the beach, I would most likely be that girl who is happy to get into the water for a few minutes, then go back to my reading.<br />
<br />
With all that being said, I am always in need of bookmarks and seem to lose my bookmarks every time I turn around. So, instead of buying more bookmarks, the <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/sun-drenched12in-paper-pad.html?___SID=U#.WoRKZ3xG3IU" target="_blank">Sun Drenched Paper Pad</a> (with its beautiful paper) and my <a href="https://www.xyron.com/en-us/products/creative-station/5--creative-station/" target="_blank">Xyron machine</a> (with its laminating feature), offered the perfect solution to this problem! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To get the full DIY on how to make your own Beachy Bookmark (or just bookmarks in general) and
to learn more about the supplies that I used in the project, <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/02/24/beachy-bookmarks-featuring-the-sun-drenched-paper-pad/" target="_blank">click here</a>!<br />

Hello Everyone!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Today, I will be showing you how to make some simple DIY Valentine’s Day Candy Boxes! If you have been following the blog for a while, then you know that I love to make candy boxes for about every holiday (check out my <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/2016/03/3-step-diy-glittered-bunny-boxes.html" target="_blank">Easter</a>, <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/2017/10/diy-mini-candy-gift-boxes.html" target="_blank">Halloween</a> and <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/2017/12/diy-last-minute-gift-wrapped-mini-candy.html" target="_blank">Christmas</a> candy boxes). Since Valentine’s Day (along with Easter) is a holiday which is drowning in chocolate, I thought it would be fun to show you how to make a simple candy box. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The candy box that I am making today is on the smaller side but it’s the perfect size if you are wanting to give a small gift to your friends or coworkers! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 3: Paint your paper mache boxes and then set them aside to dry. <br />
<br />
For my paper mache boxes, I first painted them in a solid color, like Electric Pink, and then set them aside to dry. Once the boxes were dried, I then went back and lightly brush some 24K Gold on top of the solid paint to give it a bit more punch! <br />
<br />
Once your boxes are dry and you are happy with how they look, you are now ready to fill them with candy! </div>

I loved how these little candy boxes turned out and you really can’t beat a 3 step DIY! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Besides making these candy boxes for Valentine’s Day, you could also make these candy boxes throughout the year for different holidays! For example, if you had a wooden bunny shape, you could easily use this idea for Easter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So, what do you think? Do you like these Valentine’s Day Candy Boxes?</div>

Hello Everyone!<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Today I am sharing my latest DIY project that I created for the <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank">Paper House Productions Design Team</a>!<br />
<br />
Before I talk about my project, I wanted to briefly say that as a member
of the design team I do get free products to create awesome DIY
projects. More specifically, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PaperHouseInc/" target="_blank">Paper House Productions</a>
is sponsoring this post. With that being said, as a member of their
design team, my projects will appear on the Paper House Productions blog
instead of mine own. However, I will write these types of posts to keep
you guys up-to-date about what is going on!<br />
<br />
Now that we have all of that out of the way, let's get back to the project!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project that I made for Paper House Productions this month is a <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/02/07/candy-dish-featuring-the-sweetheart-candies-puffy-stickers/" target="_blank">Candy Dish Featuring The Sweetheart Candies Puffy Stickers</a>! Now, if you have been following my blog for a while, then you know that I love to make simple projects that involve recycling materials. Well, for this project, I grabbed an old fall scented candle and repurposed it as a candle dish! By doing this, I gave new life to an old candle jar that was pretty darn expensive (if we are being honest).<br /><br />To decorate the candy dish I used the <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/sweetheart-candies-puffy-sticker.html?___SID=U#.WnuDbnxG3IV" target="_blank">Sweetheart Candies Puffy Stickers</a> from Paper House Productions. These puffy stickers were perfect for this project because 1) they looked like the perfect conversation heart and 2) they added some great dimension to the candy dish! With that being said, I was going for a Valentine's Day theme for this particular project. However, when making your own candy dish, you can use any type of stickers that you like.</div>

The project/item that I made for Paper House Productions is a piece of <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/01/25/hidden-souvenir-storage-featuring-the-travel-france-2d-destinations-stickers/" target="_blank">Hidden Souvenir Storage Featuring The Travel-France 2D Destinations Stickers</a>! This project is designed to help you keep your souvenir items (from a particular trip) all in one place while also acting as a piece of home decor. For example, you can display photos or postcards from your trip on the front of the box and use the back portion to store all your souvenir from that trip. <br /><br />To decorate the box, I used the new <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?___SID=U&dir=asc&order=relevance&q=Destinations+Stickers" target="_blank">Destinations Stickers</a> from Paper House Productions. If you are not familiar with the Destinations Stickers, they are basically a group of stickers that have a certain destinations theme. For example, in the project I made, I used the <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/travel-france-2d-sticker.html?___SID=U#.WmpEV3lG3IV" target="_blank">Travel-France 2D Stickers</a> which features cathedrals, museums, and vineyards in the sticker packet. <br /><br />Overall, this project is super easy to make and it really got me thinking about how much I don't travel (haha)! Traveling, in general, is something I would like to improve upon this year. <br /><br />Also, in regards to the Destination Stickers, there are stickers for both countries and states! </div>

Hello Everyone!<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Today I am sharing my very first Valentine’s Day project of the season!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I usually don’t make or share Valentine’s Day projects until the end of
January. However, one of my goals for this year is to get ''holiday content'' out
earlier. So, since today is the 17th of January, I think we are off to a
good start!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The project that I am showing you how to make today is a Conversation Heart
Photo Garland! This photo garland is so easy to make because we are
using a pre-made wooden heart garland. Now, you can get wooden heart
garlands online and at your local craft store. The wooden heart garland
that I used in this project, included five wooden hearts and a piece of twine
in the pack.</div>
<br />

I love how this photo garland turned out and I love that this is a home décor piece that I can use year after year.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While
making your own version of this project, don't forget that you can
customize it in a variety ways. For example, I went with the traditional
conversation heart colors and phrases for my photo garland. However,
you can always change the colors and phrase to fit your own unique style.<br />
<br />
So, what do you think? Do you like this Conversation Heart Photo Garland?</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
If you have been following the blog for a while now, then you know that I am on Xyron’s Design Team! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Now if you're not familiar with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/xyroninc" target="_blank">Xyron</a>, they are a company that creates products to enhance and protect your handmade creations. Some of the products that they are best known for are their sticker makers, creative stations, and professional laminators. I would bet, that you have seen their products at one time or another because their small sticker makers are in the shape of an X!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Well, Xyron challenged it’s design team members to create a project using their favorite Xyron product! So, today, I will be talking about my favorite Xyron product which is the <a href="https://www.xyron.com/en-us/products/creative-station/9--creative-station/xyron-creative-station_624632/" target="_blank">Xyron® 9'' Creative Station</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Before we hop into the DIY, I wanted to briefly talk about <a href="https://www.xyron.com/en-us/products/creative-station/9--creative-station/xyron-creative-station_624632/" target="_blank">Xyron’s Creative Stations</a>. Xyron’s Creative Stations in general, are basically machines which allow you to add adhesive, magnets or laminates to your projects. What is nice about the Xyron® 9'' Creative Station is that it’s not only a nice size, but it can hold both 9 inch and 5-inch Creative Station cartridges. This means that when you see an awesome sale on Xyron, you can stock up on both types of cartridges and use them in your machine. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The reason why I tend to gravitate towards the 9'' Creative Station, is because I make a ton of home décor projects. For example, you can make items like placemats, wall art, and accessories with ease, when you use the machine. Also, due to its size, you can make those bigger pieces of home décor faster, since you are not waiting for adhesive to dry. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Overall, if you love making home décor, I swear, this machine will be your best friend!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Which brings us to today’s DIY! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Today, I will be showing you how to make an adorable Mini LLAMA Cork Board (cause we all know that we need more llamas in our lives)! So, if you want to learn how to make your own Mini Llama Cork Board, keep reading below!</div>

Step 1: Draw out the shape of a llama onto your cork board. Then draw out any other shapes that you want to be made of cork. For example, I drew a half circle to be used for the ‘’harness’’ that is on the llama’s back.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Once you have drawn out all your shapes, cut them out using your scissors or craft knife. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Crafty Side Note:</span> I drew my llama template by hand but you can easily print out the silhouette of a llama instead.<br />

Step 2: Grab your cork board shapes, wooden circle, and paints. Then paint each item and set them aside to dry. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Once your cork board items have dried, you can then add more details (like a face on the llama) if you like. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

Step 3: Cut your tissue paper into strips or squares and slide each piece through your Xyron Creative Station. Keep repeating this process until you have as many pieces as you need to cover your wooden circle.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />

</tbody></table>
Step 4: Add your tissue paper pieces to your wooden circle. However, before adding them, make sure you rub each tissue paper piece while it's on the Xyron sticker paper. That way, you'll be creating a really strong adhesive backing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
While doing this step, make sure you take your time peeling the tissue paper off your Xyron sticker paper because it can rip. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Step 5: Grab all your cork board pieces and additional embellishments. Then (using your hot glue gun) glue each item into place onto your wooden circle. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
For my mini llama cork board, I first glued down some pom-pom trim, then I glued down my cork board pieces, and finally added some wooden letters to spell out ‘’No Prob-Llama’’. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
During this step, you can get as creative as you want when decorating your cork board. So, just have fun and don’t over think it! </div>

I absolutely love how this Mini Llama Cork Board turned out! It makes me smile every time I look at it and really brightens up my little work space. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Now, if llamas are not your thing (even though they totally should be) that is ok! You can always modify this DIY to fit your ''animal loving senses''. For example, instead of a llama, you cork board could be a giraffe or bunny. With that being said, just make sure that you google silhouette pictures of your animal and chose the simplest silhouette as possible. By doing this, you will save yourself a lot of headaches when it comes to cutting out your image from the cork board. </div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Today I am sharing my very first DIY project as a new member of the <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank">Paper House Productions Design Team</a>!<br />
<br />
Before I talk about my project, I wanted to briefly say that as a member of the design team I do get free products to create awesome DIY projects. More specifically, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PaperHouseInc/" target="_blank">Paper House Productions</a> is sponsoring this post. With that being said, as a member of their design team, my projects will appear on the Paper House Productions blog instead of mine own. However, I will write these types of posts to keep you guys up-to-date about what is going on!<br />
<br />
Now that we have all of that out of the way, let's get back to the project!<br />
<br />
The project that I made for Paper House Productions is a <a href="https://paperhouseproductions.wordpress.com/2018/01/08/shadow-box-house-featuring-the-marbleous-paper-pad/?redirect_log_mongo_id=5a53880917f4b9002d1866ff&redirect_mongo_id=5a537b4ab537781b37eabfb8&sb_referer_host=www.facebook.com&utm_campaign=Facebook&utm_medium=Web&utm_source=Springbot" target="_blank">Shadow Box House featuring The Marbleous Paper Pad</a>! This shadow box house is so easy to recreate because I made the tutorial only 3 steps. I tried my best to create a DIY which focused on you decorating the shadow box house (which is the fun part) versus you putting the whole thing together. To make this happen and to make the decorating part easier, I used two Paper House products. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The first product that I used (as you can see by the title) is the <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/marbleous-12in-paper-pad.html?___SID=U#.WlOKxHlG3IV" target="_blank">Marbleous Paper Pad</a>. If you are a fan of that marble look, then you need to get the Marbleous Paper Pad! This paper pad has 48 different sheets of marbled paper which ranges from your traditional gray/black marble to hot pink mixed with blue. When I saw the paper pad I instantly knew that I wanted to use it in a project. So, my first thought was to use it as some sort of background. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The second product that I used was the <a href="http://www.paperhouseproductions.com/embrace-today-puffy-sticker.html?___SID=U#.WlOK8HlG3IV" target="_blank">Life Organized Embrace Today Puffy Stickers</a>. These puffy stickers were originally designed for planners but I thought it would be cute to use them to decorate each individual section of the shadow box. This is because the puffy stickers were the perfect size and included cute little phrases like ''love this'' in the packet. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
After completing the shadow box house, I really liked the white base with the pops of marble colored paper. Also, I thought the puffy stickers helped to frame each item in the shadow box and helped to draw more attention to each individual item. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />

Hello Everyone!<br /><br />Welcome to a brand new year! I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with your family and friends. <br /><br />My New Year's Eve and New Year's Day was spent thinking about the goals that I want to accomplish in 2018. I took a different approach this year to my goals list by dividing up all my goals into specific categories (like spiritual, career, etc.). My hope is that I can accomplish more goals by viewing them as small chunks instead of one (very) long list. <br /><br />In regards to blogging, my goals seem to never change (lol)! For this year, I have narrowed my long list of blogging goals down to only four. Those four would be the following:<br /><br />1. Create better content</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />2. Improve website</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />3. Improve photography</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />4. Grow following or focus on improving the blog's social media channels<br /><br />One of these goals, I am currently working on! So hopefully, by the end of the month, we will already have one goal crossed off the list. <br /><br />To get your guy's feedback on how the blog can improve, what content you want to see in 2018, and so forth, I created a brief 10 question survey. I would really appreciate it if you could leave your feedback and later in the month I will share the results. You can take the readers survey, below!<br /><br />What are your blogging goals or personal goals for the new year?<br /><br />xo Katie</div>

Hello Everyone!<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
I hope you all had a great Christmas! <br />
<br />
Can you believe that 2018 is almost here! Personally, I always find these few days between Christmas and New Year's Day to be a bit weird because I feel like you are always being pulled in several different directions. For example, you are making goals/resolutions, putting away your Christmas decorations, and trying to get back into the swing of things. <br />
<br />
Usually, I would have posted more New Year's Eve posts by now, but I was one of those individuals who got the flu while celebrating the Christmas season. I'm much better now, but I lost a lot of time by being sick in bed. <br />
<br />
One silver lining, however, is that I never shared my last project that I made for the <a href="http://buttonsgaloreandmore.net/announcing-the-new-buttons-galore-design-team/" target="_blank">Buttons Galore & More Design Team</a>!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My last project for the design team was called <a href="http://buttonsgaloreandmore.net/make-diy-confetti-poppers-new-years-eve/" target="_blank">How to Make DIY Confetti Poppers for New Year's Eve</a>! I made this project early in December but you can make your own confetti poppers in less than an hour. This is because the confetti poppers tutorial only has 3 steps and requires very few supplies. Also, once New Year's Eve is over, you can always use this same tutorial to make confetti poppers for all year around! </div>

Hello Everyone! <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christmas is only 4 days away! I swear, this month has gone by so fast! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are still wrapping gifts, then most likely you are in need of some gift tags or labels. Instead of running down to the store (again) to get a small pack of gift tags or labels, why not print out some super cute ones for FREE and run them through your <a href="https://www.facebook.com/xyroninc" target="_blank">Xyron machine</a>!<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By using this method, you will have a bunch of adorable tags or labels for your gifts, without the hassle of going to the store.<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since you know how to use your Xyron machine, now all you need is some cute tags and labels. Below, I rounded up a few of my favorite Christmas tags and labels which are completely FREE!</div>

Now even though some of these are tags, you can always skip the hole punching step and just turn them into stickers using your Xyron machine. The printable tags that I included in this post, don't have a specific place for the hole punch when you print the tag out. This means that you can simply print the tags out, run them through your Xyron machine and they instantly look like labels (instead of gift tags). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hopefully, this post has made your gift wrapping a little bit easier and a little less stressful! Also, don't forget, that there is a ton of free resources like gift tags, gift labels, and even wrapping paper available (on the internet) during this time of the year. </div>
<br />
Which one of these gift tags or labels is your favorite?<br />

Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
Today I have another installment of Crafters Gift Guide!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can tell by the title, today I will be sharing with you 5 simple DIYs that you can make before Christmas. When trying to put this list together, I wanted to gather up 5 different but fairly simple DIYs that didn't require too much time to create. I also wanted to include those DIYs which didn't require too many ''unique craft supplies''. For example, each of these DIYs can be made with items that you most likely already have in your craft stash. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

So, to see what 5 simple DIYs that you can make before Christmas, keep reading below!<br />

I will say, that the only DIY that takes a little time to make, is the wooden jewelry. This is because I added a special type of top coat with takes 24 hours to dry. However, you can always change these DIYs to fit the craft supplies that you have on hand. <br />
<br />
Also, if time is short and you can't make the entire DIY how it is written, that is ok! You can always use these projects as inspiration when creating your own projects. Remember, you know your craft supplies, craft skills, and craft schedule better than anyone. So, if you feel comfortable switching a supply out for another or want to skip a certain decorating step altogether, you go right ahead! <br />
<br />
Have you made any handmade gifts for the holiday season? If so, what did you make?<br />

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BcAGDyvFjzo/?taken-by=xyroninc" target="_blank">Xyron Hashtag Challenge</a> is in full swing on Instagram!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, if you are late to the Xyron hashtag party, that is ok! To get you caught up on all things Instagram, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/xyroninc" target="_blank">Xyron</a>
is having its first ever Hashtag Challenge. If you are unfamiliar with a
Hashtag Challenge, its basically where a ‘’challenge’’ is announced
each week, and you guys use the #HOLLYJOLLYXYRON to share your projects
that go with that challenge Then, once the challenge week is up, the
Xyron Design Team will pick a winner of the challenge and that person
will be featured on all of our Instagram pages AND will win a Xyron
Creative Station!
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So, to get you inspired to make your own projects for the challenges,
the Xyron Design Team members are sharing their own project for each
challenge. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This week’s hashtag challenge is all about quick gifts! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
When making my own quick gift for this challenge, I wanted to create something that involved only a few supplies and that could be given to those individuals like your co-workers or mailman. In this case, I came up with a candy box that is wrapped like a normal gift, but of course is miniature! <br />
<br />
So, if you want to learn how to make your own Last Minute Gift Wrapped Mini Candy Box, keep reading below!</div>

I love how this project turned out! I think anyone would be happy to receive a mini gift with there favorite candy inside. <br />
<br />
For my gift box, I chose to put 3 Lindt Lindor Chocolates inside (which fit perfectly). If you go this route, you can easily get a few gifts out of one bag of Lindt Lindor Chocolate. <br />

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is wrapping gifts! That may sound a little weird to some people, but I have always enjoyed wrapping gifts and trying to make those gifts look extra special. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
With that being said, wrapping gifts is time-consuming and does tend to involve a bunch of different supplies. If you are someone who would rather skip the fancy wrapping paper or is looking to save time while wrapping, then you will love today’s project. This is because I am going to show you how to jazz up some brown paper gifts (or boxes) with some scrapbooking paper! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Today's project is part of my collaboration with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/xyroninc" target="_blank">Xyron</a> since I'm a member of their design team! This means you will be seeing a Xyron product in action! For this particular project, I will be showcasing the<a href="https://www.xyron.com/en-us/products/sticker-maker/sticker-makers---non-refillable/3in-disposable-sticker-maker_100111/" target="_blank"> Xyron® 3'' Disposable Sticker Maker</a> . I've talked about the Xyron 3’’ Disposable Sticker Maker before, so if you want to learn more about it, then <a href="http://www.runningwithagluegunstudio.com/2016/02/diy-mini-photo-holder.html" target="_blank">click here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, in this project, I will be using items from <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/" target="_blank">Wild Whisper</a>! If you have never heard of Wild Whisper, they are a scrapbooking company which produces 12x12 double sided paper collections, stamps, and pocket scrapbooking cards. Besides ‘’scrapbooking supplies’’, the company also carries a wide variety of craft supplies like sequins, chipboard, and wooden veneers (which I love)! Today I will be using a few products from their newest collection called <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/collections/new-products" target="_blank">Home for the Holidays</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
As I mentioned before, I will be showing you how to jazz up brown paper gifts with scrapbooking paper. My goal when creating this project was to make it simple, fun, and customizable for you. For the tutorial, I will only show you how to create one idea, but make sure you scroll down to the bottom to see two more gift wrapping ideas! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So, if you want to learn how to transform your plain brown wrapped gifts into something a little more special, keep reading below!</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this particular gift, I used <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/collections/new-products/products/home-for-the-holidays-stamp-set" target="_blank">Wild Whispers Home for the Holidays Stamp Set</a>. Specifically, I used the ''very merry'', ''Christmas'', and ''square box'' stamps. To do the stamping, I simply peeled off the stamps and adhere them to my acrylic block. Then I stamped them into some colored ink and finally stamped the images onto my brown paper. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">Crafty Side Note:</span> If you are worried about the ink going through your brown paper, you could always stamp on to the paper before you wrap the gift. The reason why I did the opposite, is because it takes a good amount of ink, paint, or marker to actually go through the brown paper. In my experience, I have never had anything bleed through the paper. Also, the amount of ink we are using in this project is fairly small. </div>

Step 4: Add your paper pieces to the top of your gift. However, before adding them, make sure you rub each paper piece while it's on the Xyron Sticker paper. That way, you'll be creating a really strong adhesive backing. </div>

For my gift, I added some washi tape to each gift and created some washi tape bows, to complete the whole look.<br />

I have actually been using this method of decorating brown paper gifts for years! It’s really a great way to save on wrapping paper and to use those supplies that you already have on hand. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Now, in the beginning of this post, I mentioned two other ways to use scrapbooking paper to decorate brown paper gifts or boxes. Well, another way that you can use this method is on top of small brown boxes. You can see that for my box, I used one main sheet of scrapbooking paper as my background and then layered on top of it with Wild Whisper's <a href="https://www.wildwhisperdesigns.com/collections/new-products/products/home-for-the-holidays-card-pack" target="_blank">Home for the Holidays Card Pack</a>. Then I simply stamped a few images, to tie the whole thing together. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Finally, for the middle gift that is small, I simply cut an out a piece of scrapbooking paper in an unique shape. I then covered the edges of that scrapbooking paper with washi tape and then stamped a few images off to the side. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As always, to follow along with all the Xyron fun, don't forget to like them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/xyroninc" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and to follow their <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/xyron/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> page for more project inspiration.</div>

What do you think? Do you like this idea of using scrapbooking paper to decorate brown paper gifts?<br />

Hello Everyone! <br />
<br />
If the title of this post has not intrigued you or confused you, then you should probably read it again (lol)!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Today’s post is my first Gift Guide for the holiday season! As you can tell by the title, I will be talking about 25 random craft tools/supplies that you are probably overlooking this holiday season. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So, what do I mean by random craft tools and supplies? I mean those tools or supplies that are either used all the time (but are underappreciated) or that are completely overlooked during the holiday season.<br />
<br />
For example, cleaning tools. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Now, I know cleaning tools or cleaning accessories don’t sound really exciting. However, if you are a stamper, then you know that there are stamp pads, wipes, sprays, and all kinds of items to clean your stamps with. I would venture to guess, that a few stampers wouldn’t mind getting some cleaning supplies or accessories, especially if it came from their favorite stamp brand. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Those types of items (like cleaning tools) are what I will be listing in this post. My goal behind creating this list, was to provide you guys with some ''out-of-the-box'' ideas that could be used as either stocking stuffers or a last minute ''add-on'' to a gift. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Below, are 25 random craft tools/supplies that you are probably overlooking this holiday season!</div>

Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BcAGDyvFjzo/?taken-by=xyroninc" target="_blank">Xyron Hashtag Challenge</a> is in full swing on Instagram!<br />
<br />
However, if you are late to the Xyron hashtag party, that is ok! To get you caught up on all things Instagram, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/xyroninc" target="_blank">Xyron</a>
is having its first ever Hashtag Challenge. If you are unfamiliar with a
Hashtag Challenge, its basically where a ‘’challenge’’ is announced
each week, and you guys use the #HOLLYJOLLYXYRON to share your projects
that go with that challenge Then, once the challenge week is up, the
Xyron Design Team will pick a winner of the challenge and that person
will be featured on all of our Instagram pages AND will win a Xyron
Creative Station!
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
So, to get you inspired to make your own projects for the challenges,
the Xyron Design Team members are sharing their own project for each
challenge. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This week’s hashtag challenge is all about home decor (which is my favorite topic)! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
When making my own home decor project for this challenge, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. For the longest time, I have been wanting to create my own version of a vintage tree display that I saw in the Fall 2016 issue of Vintage Holiday. I couldn't find a picture of the original image online but basically, the vintage tree (according to the article) was made around the 60s or early 70s, was made out of cat food cans and was designed to display small ornaments. <br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, I don't have a cat, and even if I did, I wouldn't make my tree out of cat food cans (lol). Instead, I decided to use cookies cutters because 1) they don't smell like cat food, 2) they come in a bunch of different sizes, and 3) they are fairly inexpensive. Overall, I added my own twist to this project by decorating the outside of the cookie cutters and making my tree smaller. However, you can get as creative as you want with this project.<br /> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, if you want to learn how to make your own Retro Tree Display, keep reading below!</div>

Step 1: Cut out strips of wrapping paper that are the same width has your cookies cutters. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Step 2: Now take your strips of wrapping paper and run them through your Xyron 1.5''
Disposable Sticker Maker. Keep repeating this process until all your strips of wrapping paper have been run through the Xyron 1.5'' Disposable
Sticker Maker. <br />
<br /></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Step 3: Once you have run the strips of wrapping paper through
the Xyron 1.5'' Disposable Sticker Maker, rub the top of the sticker
paper. Then peel the strip of wrapping paper off the sticker paper and wrap it around your cookie cutter.<br />
<br />
Keep repeating
this process until all your cookie cutters have been covered. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-oqZgavaVddpZxFxNMMoEMp5pPuRCt1nsgDPdIfxsjEZK3pIgIMLCFq5eYdiRZsWN6LGSRgMM0aXyfSAyo1LLwgpc9fEzJZeQ4OvXrgAcBNH0V69vLXPQdTX5YyXLn6gDtnWqHXb5eOE/s1600/Step+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-oqZgavaVddpZxFxNMMoEMp5pPuRCt1nsgDPdIfxsjEZK3pIgIMLCFq5eYdiRZsWN6LGSRgMM0aXyfSAyo1LLwgpc9fEzJZeQ4OvXrgAcBNH0V69vLXPQdTX5YyXLn6gDtnWqHXb5eOE/s1600/Step+4.png" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Step 4: Now lay your cookie cutters out in a tree shape. For my tree, I used the 3-inch cookie cutters for the actual tree, the 2.5-inch cookie cutter for the tree stem, and the 2-inch cookie cutter for the base. <br /><br />To make this next part easy to understand, I labeled the tree in the photo above with letters. So, to glue your tree together, start with G (or your 2.5-inch tree stem) and glue it to E (or one of your 3-inch cookie cutters). Then glue cookies cutters D and F on the opposite sides of E. Keep repeating this process until you have A through G glued together. Once you have finished your tree, glue G (the 2.5-inch tree stem) into H (the 2-inch cookie cutter on the bottom). <br /><br /><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Crafty Side Note:</span> I used a hot glue gun for this step because I knew my tree was only going to hold small lightweight items and was not going to get much wear and tear. However, if you feel that the tree would not be sturdy enough for you, you can always use an industrial strength glue or even small screws to put the tree together. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 5: Once your tree has been glued together, cut small pieces of fiberfill polyester filling to fit on the inside of each cookie cutter. Then hot glue those pieces into place. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />When you are happy with how your tree looks, you are ready to decorate it with your small ornaments and figurines.</div>

I love how this little tree turned out! It's the perfect display for those little Christmas items that you don't know what to really do with.<br /><br />On a side note, you may have noticed that I didn't glue my little Christmas ornaments or figurines to the actual tree. This is because I wanted to have the ability to change things around from year to year. However, if you would rather glue your items onto the tree, you go right ahead.</div>
