Altered Pen Holders

Hi Friends! Today I'll be sharing a quick project I made for my desk at work. I altered some Martha Stewart/Avery pen & pencil holders. This was such an easy project to do that will dress up your work space a little bit...check it out....




Here's a quick video that shows you the holders up close along with the items I used to create these : )

I forgot to take a photo of these before I "scrapped" them up but here's another quick video that shows you what they looked like before (with a few other things thrown in..lol)

I love making these crepe paper flowers....



In the first video I share with you the different products I used for these holders so be sure to check it out if you haven't already.

I can't wait to see how these are going to look on my desk. I figure since I'm there 8 hours a day I might as well have a little bit of craft to look at..lol.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out another ScrappinAbby project. 

Happy Craftin!!

Handmade Flowers

Hi Friends! Wow I didn't realize it's been over a week since my last post..yikes!! I've been super busy with work, the school year is winding down, end of the year stuff with my kids and we're getting ready for a huge garage sale this Saturday. I've been busy with some DT projects and a mini swap I'm doing with a fellow crafting friend on YouTube who lives in Belgium...but more on that in another post : )

I've been doing lots of videos on my YouTube Channel and today's post is all about some handmade flowers my daughter and I did together.


 
Didn't Kaley do an amazing job on her pink flower? I love it!!

Kaley and I did a video together on making the crepe paper flowers, her's is the large pink one we did during the tutorial and my two are the purple w/lace & the white one.

I had a blast doing this with her...she loves to craft and is so very creative so it was fun sharing this passion I have for crafting with her : )

Here are some additional photos of the lace & ribbon flowers I made....
 

Here's the video on how I created the above flowers....

There are some great companies who put out gorgeous flowers but I think it's so cool when you make your own. You can customize them to your colors, size, materials for whatever project you may be working on. The bonus for me doing these was working with my daughter & spending some time with her which is so very precious to me.

Thanks for checking out another scrappy post. Be sure to check back as I have some super exciting projects to share with all of you that have been in the works but I couldn't share just yet : )

Happy craftin!!
