A lot of times, I can’t even believe I made these things… I get so in the zone when I craft, I don’t know how I get from point A to point B, but I do!
Up until last year, I wasn't interested in Game of Thrones or any of the events that came to be on the show (#RedWedding), but with all the social media ruckus about Mr. Jon Snow, it peaked my curiosity just enough to watch the first episode of season 6 to find out whether or not …

Shortest "blog" post ever! Just had to celebrate the fact that after three stores and 16 dresses, my best friend found her wedding dress today! I was ecstatic to be a part of this day for her, and of course I had to make special props for it 🙂 Stay tuned to see the …

You guys know that after being against trying it for such a long time, and then mildly flirting with it, I'm officially in a committed relationship with vinyl. Oracal, glitter, HTV, you name it, I want it in my life. Anything I can vinyl, I WILL VINYL. Since when is vinyl a verb? I digress... …
Every year, I feel like there is a theme around a certain new craft/element that keeps reappearing throughout different orders. 2015 was the character letters, 2016 was vinyl, and one of this year's big contenders were big props.

Now that my best friend got engaged, I am the happiest crafter alive, and I'm ready to make ALL of the things. First stop: engagement party central! My biff (that's what we call each other :P) Michelle, like most women, has had an idea of what she wants her wedding to look like, so her …

Aw man! Such a thrilling ride it's been with this order - from the moment I got the call, to tackling the making of the ramp, the little truck boxes and finally the big truck prop... So you know, the end will be no different! Before I show you the final pictures of everything, let's …
For the third and final installment of this order (click here for the intro, part 1, and part 2)- the big truck prop/photo booth station for Mateo's fourth birthday. The inspiration for this craft were this picture and this one too. If I'm honest, when I initially got this order, I ranked the items in my head …

After last week's still unbelievably successful ramp construction, it was time to move on to the next item on the monster truck party order: the box trucks. Mateo's mom saw a couple of images online of kids wearing boxes that were decorated like cars (like this one and this one on Pinterest), and wanted something similar …

As I shared on my last post, I've just agreed to build a ramp for a kid's birthday party. I don't know what possessed me to do this, but here I am. It's go time, no take-backsies. After getting the call and agreeing to making the three items for this monster truck-themed birthday, the first …
