Holiday Craftiness. Great Holiday Season

I am really excited to post my crafts from the Holidays. I've got quite a few that I'm pretty proud of. I got my cricut and I immediately put it to work. I knew that I wanted to make some paper flower, shadow boxes.

First up, is my mom.

 My mom has always, always loved Amazing Grace, they hymn. She also likes the color yellow. I wanted to make it special for her because she deserves it. So, I made some yellow gradient colored flowers and some white for a little pop. I decided to just do a big script, Amazing Grace with vinyl.  Here's a picture.. 

This one took me about 2 days. It was my very first cricut project! So, I was learning how to use it and making this at the same time. It took a while. I think I'm getting the hang of it now.

Here is another that I made for my sister-in-law, to be. She loves mint and we both really like, The Gilmore Girls. So, I knew that I wanted to incorporate all that. I really liked how the gradient colors came out with my mom. I decided to do that here and use minty looking colors. I think that was one of the hardest parts! Anyways, here is how it came out. I used a gray colored frame because that's they type of décor that will match in my brothers house. I used white vinyl with part of the lyrics on top.

This next one was for a Secret Santa gift. This one was a bit tricky because her favorite color is black. I decided to do a smaller shadow box, since we had a $ limit. Instead of doing all black, I did some gray into black. This way it wasn't all one color. I then used some glitter vinyl and a script R, for her name. I think it turned out pretty well!

January Planner Addict Box Photo Challenge

Since, I want to win 3 months free, I'm all over this challenge. The Planner Addict Box is holding a January challenge on instagram, to try and win free months of the sub. It's actually a pretty cool challenge and I'm loving it so far. I'm about half way through now. Here is the challenge and some of my posts. If you check out my instagram: Disturbia0509 .. you can see all of my posts on there. I will update this, when it's all over and add ALL of my challenge day pictures!

Day 14. This was yesterday's post. My most liked so far! I think a lot of people love post-it/stickey notes. They are just so fun and I'm a tad bit of a collector :) haha.
 

 

 

 

Day 15: Storage. Today is storage and I showed just some of the spaces that I have planner storage. I'm a crafter, so it's kind of all over the place. This isn't my whole room but some of the best spots!😁😁

January Planner Addict Box

I used to have 3-4 make up subscriptions but I have so much that I needed to stop. My obsession has kind of gone elsewhere... planners/crafting. I've always been a crafter but this year, I wanted to CREATE much more. It makes me happy and is so relaxing. Anyways, the only sub box I have no is, The Planner Addict Box. This box is $18.75 a month, with shipping. I love it. I'm kind of a beginner and don't have a lot of stickers and such. Well this was my January box and it's amazing. One of the best boxes so far! This is my 4th box.

 

 First of all, look at all the items!! There's tons of stuff in here:

- Quote cards

-3 pages of stickers

-2 different sizes of washi

-6 month, mini calander notes

-'YAY' planner clip

-some shaped pictures

-THE DIAMOND PEN (I'm really excited about this)

 

This is a good amount of planner goodies for less than $20 bucks! They also changed their look and I really like the actual box too. If you are thinking about it.. I would pull the trigger now. You will have to wait until the April slots open, at the end of the month. You basically have to wait 2 months to get your first box. Once you get your first box, it's monthly.

January will be better!

Hey guys!

 Well.. I'm not sure anyone reads this... soo yeah.

Anyways, I've been pretty sick the last few months but I'm getting better! My energy level is getting a bit stronger every day. I have a ton of posts that I need to do. I'm not even sure if I did Sephora and Ulta holiday hauls! I'll have to look.  Here are some upcoming:

-New Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Twinkle Palette vol. 2
-Too Faced White Chocolate Chip palette
- Planner Hauls- soo many! Michael's has been taking all my money lately!
-Dipping into the Lettering world
-HOLIDAY CRAFTING!- So excited for this one! Not sure if I will do individual posts for each one or a whole post for all. Still thinking on that one.
-Too Faced Sweet Peach

That's all I can think of on the top of my head, for now. I'm hoping that 2017 will be much better! 2016 hasn't been terrible, but could have been better. As I'm writing this, I keep thinking about Carrie Fisher. Ugh.. how sad! Many thoughts to her family and friends. May the force be with her.

That's all for now! I'll try to really start getting posts up regularly, starting next week. Hope everyone had a happy holiday!! Happy New Year!

Washi Tape Collection

Being a huge crafter, I am a collector of washi tape, obviously. I mean, they have so many uses in my crafting. I use them when I'm making my own cards, scrapbooking and now with my new planning hobby. I was actually buying more items for my planner when I accidentally purchased two duplicate styles. I then saw on a facebook group, that you can use a piece of paper and make an index of what you have. It's a brilliant idea and I worked on it yesterday. I love how it came out and I can stick it in the pocket folder of my planner to take around with me. I have had to add a couple pages to it because I've acquired a lot of washi lately! NO JUDGEMENT PLEASE! :):):)

I thought I should show you my collection first.. so here it is...

                                 

                                 

                                

                               

Now onto the project I was talking about... I did small pieces, so I could get a lot on a sheet. It's a little page, so it could fit in my planner and I'll always have it with me. These are three pages, front and back.

                         

                        

Here is where I keep them in my planner :) By the way, I have a ban.do planner!

                          

Planner Addict Box October 2016

                            

This will be brief... It's my October Planner Addict Box. It's $18.75 a month with shipping. This box was super cute and I loved it! This is my second box!

                              

Planner Addict Box - November 2016

This is my third Planner Addict Box. I really like it so far. I know that a lot of people are talking about the quality going down. Since I haven't been a sub that long, I probably don't know what I'm missing. The only thing I don't like about it is that they say it's $15 a month. It's not, it's $15 plus shipping ~ $18.75 is the total. THAT is the cost of this box, shipping is not forgotten for me!

Anyway, here are the contents of my box!

                          

This box is a little slim on the planner sticker side.. Anyways, that pen is awesome! It's made of real wood. So cool. I guess that makes up for the lack of stickers. It's okay though, I really like everything else. I'm not a fan of the "treat" they add. It's been a candy that looks like it's a stock from party city. This month was a tea bag.. I could go without that and have something else planner related. Overall, I really am liking this so far! :)
