So i strayed from my usual cards and got creative with some other stuff i found around the house.  Let me tell you that pinterest is my new best friend!
 So the first pic is tea tins wrapped with yarn.  The flowers on the green tin and the brown tin I made myself.
 These are trader joe spice jars.  For both projects I used mod podge on the base and then wrapped the yarn around.  On the jars I also used mod podge on top of the yarn and then partially dried them with a heat tool.
 the upcycled tiles were super simple and fun.  I used the back side of these tiles because I knew it would hold the ink better.  For two of them I used ranger ink walnut stain on the base and then I mixed a little of my stampin up ink refill mixed with mod podge and a little white tempura paint over the brown.  To finish it off I framed the corners with a stamp from tim holtz.
And this is the end result!  On underside of my tiles I used some adhesive foam so that the tiles wouldn't scratch the furniture.  I'm in love!

quails and trees

So these little quails from stampin up are some of my fave right now to work with.  and I am also loving close to my heart treetops. It is good to be back in the swing of things and so rewarding to feel creative again.  Happy stamping :)
