Do you ever see inspiring pictures or quotes but don’t have a system for keeping them? That’s what we’re working on today. It can be as simple as a physical file folder if you tend to rip things out of magazines or print things out. I have a Pinterest board called visuals that I keep […]
Mason Jar Lid Pumpkin {Iron Craft Challenge}
This week’s Iron Craft challenge was to make something for Halloween, and with the girl being sick I didn’t think I was going to get mine done but it’s so quick and easy it was no problem to do even in the short amount of time I’ve had in my office today. The mason jar […]

Smashing on a Small Scale: The Paper Bag Journal
Back in June I wrote about trying to do more art journaling, and at some point I ended up buying a smash journal (the Retro SMASH Folio to be precise), thinking that would be easier than building something from scratch.
