Will You Be My Bridesmaid Box

Guilty! I have totally posted this project before. I still use Andrew's old digital camera, but I have slightly improved my photography skills (next big investment: new camera)! Anyways, I wanted to take new photos because this project was so fun and special for me I really wanted a decent post to show it off! I cannot wait to share our special day with my closest friends. They are the most fabulous women! Sincere, funny, kind, wild, honest and most of all, unique.

I used beautiful stationary cards from Rifle Paper Company and wooden jewelry boxes from Hobby Lobby.

My mom had a great idea to add some lovely Chanel makeup! We found the most perfect items!

(Pink) Nailpolish - "535 May"

(Natural) Lipgloss - "87 Seashell"

(Waterproof) Mascara - "10 Noir"

Could those names (and colors) be more fitting for our May 18th, Rosemary Beach wedding?

I filled the wooden box with sand, shells, scented bath salts and a drop of glitter!

DIY Prints

Well, another weekend has come and gone. Although I worked this weekend, I was happy to have Friday off! I am so overly excited that I will have my first home office/craft room come May! I offered Andrew the garage... so I think that's a fair trade, right? I know I want a clean space with a beautiful white Parsons desk. I hope to have all of my craft supplies conveniently stored in the closet (I'm a dreamer). I want to order a few inspirational prints from Lara Casey's shop (shown in my last post) but also wanted some DIY prints. What I love about framed prints is that you can easily store them in a folder and switch them out, depending on season or mood.

You could use your die cut letters inverted, too.

The next print I created was not very original, but it was easy and fun! I have seen so much inspiration for a painting like this on Pinterest & was happy to finally have some time to try it out! I can't wait to do it again in the colors that I want my home office to have!

What do you think? I love how simple this painting technique is! It is great for anyone who uses color for inspiration! Just a few brush strokes will give you an idea of what color palette might (or might not) work for your next project! I will definitely be doing this again!
