tennis ball can craft organizer

So it's time for my Eco moment, LoL. I work in a tennis club, I do maintenance there. I throw out dozens of these cans in the recycling container everyday. So I thought it would be nice to bring some home, to organize all my buttons and scrapbook stuff. I didn't really like the bottom so I cut the can the height I wanted and glued a cover at the bottom of it with some plumbing glue. Of course it takes two covers for one can...but look how nice they turned out. To embellish, I cut some Jillibean soup scrapbook paper and I put it in the inside. Hope you like the idea. I'm pretty shore you could get some at your local tennis club to...If you ask nicely....LoL

Halloween E-patterns

Here are a couple of e-patterns I made, just in time for Halloween.

crafting with Tim Hortons box of coffee

A couple of weeks ago I found, at work, a ten cup box of coffee from Tim Horton's. Of course, I brought it home, I just new I had to do something with it. So I transformed it with Jillibean soup patterned papers and stamps, and now it as become my spools box. And with the handles,I can take it anywhere I want. I just love those boxes. Hope you like it.

big pattern box

So I made another pattern box, I have so much commercial patterns it's not even funny, I hardly use them, but I don't went to get rid of them either. I purchased a Dell studio one a couple months ago and use the box to store my patterns. I turned the box inside out and decorated it with some scrapbook paper and distress ink. It sits on a top shelve in my craft room. I'm very happy with the result.

pattern pocket organizer

So I decided to make some pockets to organize the patterns I design. I glued a small pocket insert on each one to put the material list in them. It's a quick reference when I want to make a project. I'm very happy with the results.



This is the box I designed to put them in.

desk trash box

I made myself a small trash can for my desk,when you craft a lot, it get messy pretty fast, so by having a trash can on hand it helps me to keep my area cleaner. This was a very fun project to make.
