Here’s what you’ll need:

Giant Paper Clips
Designer Paper
Cardstock
Adhesive/Glue
Punches
Markers
Small Stamps
Stickers
Ribbons
Buttons

Step 1: Gather supplies of your choice, including a few giant paperclips.
Step 2: Punch out some shapes, get stickers ready.
Step 3: Using your Glue, Tape, or Pop Up glue dots adhere the front and back pieces of card stock to the top of the paperclip, creating a great little area to embellish as you desire.

Did you catch the embellished paper “bug”? Want me DIY project ideas? How’s this? Paper Embellished Clothes Pins!

What you’ll need:
Clothes pins
Mod Podge
Small paint brush
Scraps of patterned paper
Xacto knife
Ruler
1) Measure out the width of your clothes pins and using your ruler and your Xacto knife, cut out strips from the different papers.
2) To get the proper length, place a strip on the table with the clothes pin over top of it. Slice the strip of paper where the clothes pin ends.
3) Using the paint brush, brush on a bit of Mod Podge on one flat side of the clothes pin.
4) Place the paper strip on the glued section and smooth out.
5) Repeat on other side if desired.
6) Wait until it dries and you’re ready to use them!
Feel free to go wild decorating these. Hot glue buttons, ribbon, magnets, etc to them. The sky’s the limit so be creative!!
This is a fun and interesting way to display some of the numerous photos we all have lying around not in frames or on our walls.  Kick it up a notch (Emeril sytle) and extend some ribbon or twine along the wall and use clothes pins to fasten pictures to it. Genius!

 

 

The New Jean – Beyond Blue Denim…The evolution of the beloved blue jean continues: The newest and trendiest denim is clad in gorgeous saturated colors, luxe finishes and a riot of pretty patterns. We found some of the hottest pairs to wear.

Indigo hues aren’t going anywhere, but the freshest take on jeans sees bold colors taking center stage. Rocker-chic detailing and super-glam surfaces mean jeans work as well after dark as in the daytime, while skinny and slouchy silhouettes vie for the year’s fave shape.

Colors and Prints: Visible Change

The quickest and easiest way to refresh your jeans wardrobe is with a hit of extroverted color. Try dusty rose, moss green, terracotta or deep maroon. Gotta go blue? Make it a vivid azure. Or take on the neutral trend in rust- or clay-colored denim.

For date night, dancing, weekend dazzle skip the understated hues and dare to shine. Metallics are a huge trend, and skinny jeans gleam with gold, silver and bronze.

Antique floral patterns, brocade and paisley skew retro, animal and reptile designs look classic, and digital and optical prints shout “couture”.

Finishes and Textures: The New Feel

Remember distressed jeans? They’re baaaaack, and this time they’re called “destroyed”. Sometimes the destruction is subtle, with frayed hems finishing otherwise sleek pairs, while other jeans are totally shredded.

Night-right pairs sparkle with sequins, studs and beading, or go supercool with metallic burnout or stamped designs.

ESSENTIALS WOMENS SEQUIN TUXEDO SEXY JEAN Blue

A massive trend this year, skinny leather jeans are the skin to be in.

So which style of bold non-blue jeans are you going to rock this season? Whichever you choose, we know you’ll show your fabulous to the world!

Our homes are more personalized than ever before. Gone are the days of being guided by labels such as living room, dining room, and den. Today’s design is dictated by the way we live, not someone else’s notion of what a space should or shouldn’t be. This creates the perfect potential for a spare space to be transformed into a theme or hobby room.

A few tips to keep in mind while creating your hobby room…

To get the biggest bang for your buck, consider a multipurpose space that can accommodate the favorite pastimes of more than one person.

Don’t feel the need to do everything right away. For instance, a game room can develop over time to fit your budget.

Make sure you incorporate enough storage to support your needs. A media room will need cabinets for equipment, while a library requires sturdy shelving for books.

Try to avoid anything too trendy or you might soon tire of your special getaway. Instead of bold paint colors, opt for bright accent pieces.

Some hobbies are messier than others, such as art and craft projects. In this case, select a space that allows you to hide everything behind closed doors.

Whatever you decide, keep in mind that our lifestyles are bound to change over time. That’s the beauty of a theme or hobby room. It can provide a cherished refuge that reflects your current interests, and it can easily be tweaked to suit future pursuits as the need arises.

What kind of crafts and hobbies are popular in your home? Do you have a special place to create? Share with us!

I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for fun and interesting ways to add personal touches to my home decor. Anytime I have the opportunity to bring in something custom and truly unique I jump at the chance. So when I came across this little gem from The Glam Lamb on Pinterest I just HAD to share…

Take something you really love – a letter, envelope, photograph, a ticket stub… anything, really – and take it to a printing place like Kinko’s and have them blow it up to large scale. Voila! Instant art. Brilliant. An old recipe from Grandma would be great for the kitchen!

Think about all the fun you could have with this – in so many different rooms of your home. Kids’ rooms, kitchen, playroom, office, living room…the possibilities are endless.
