Crafty Leilei: Bunting/Banners

Love the American Crafts flag punch! You can make so many cute buntings/banners with them. I sent some Kasamas some rev spirit via snail mail.

I also decorated my Bestie's birthday giftbag with a cute gift tag. :)

Crafty Leilei: Page Dividers For A Spiral Bound Planner

This post has been chillen for a hot minute.  I made a couple type of page dividers for my Revolutionary planner and like the larger version better than the smaller one.  Both work well for the purpose, so I guess it is preference.

Laminator is bae. Only for that night though!

Really, crafting from bed and watching Coffee Break With Dani!

I took out one page of the blank spiral bound page in the back to use as a template to punch holes.  Then I measured a couple strips of scrapbook paper that I would use for the dividers and laminated them all on one sheet.

After cutting, I took a 1/8" hole punch and punched some holes on the blank sheet to have a guide for the dividers.

After punching holes, I cut slits into the holes so I could attach to the spiral coil in my planner.

I didn't have my clawz then, so I used the tip of the scissors to get the divider attached.

I used these for a couple of weeks, but I wanted something a bit more solid so I decided to make a full page divider instead.  Also, instead of punching holes into the page, you can attach file tabs, punch holes and cut slits to attach them to the coil.

Measure 20 times, then cut.  Measuring and cutting kill me.  Thankfully these turned out great and now I have a template to use to make different ones.

I actually laminated one of them again which was a mistake.  I didn't take off the file tab and it got all wonky.  :\

Crafting From Bed: Valentine's Day Treats

For my Gabriela Seattle Sistahs!  Love should be celebrated everyday!  But this kitschy stuff always gets me.

While watching Friends! I've been binge watching on Netflix lately.  Brings back good memories of me and my Sissy catching Thursday night primetime together.  :) 

"New" Crafting Area

I realize I can't make everything from the bed.  Especially when it comes to messy tasks.  I was already so worried about getting Fabric Fusion on my bed when I made the no-sew pan protectors!  When I do work from home, I am working in the bed, from the couch or from the kitchen table.  Hardly ever do I use my desk.

 Before - I had a set up going on, but didn't have the right connections so off the the garage it goes.

And after!  Kept the lamp for lighting and here is my next Darby Smart project that I won't do from the bed because it involves black fabric paint!  :D  I'll still do my Crafting From Bed series for some projects, but the messier ones, I'll do from the desk.  Hoping to add a sewing machine in the near future too!

Valentine's Day OneSpot Finds

For DIY valentines! Crafting from bed at midnight. I'm actually going to make a birthday card for my Daddy. We're celebrating his birthday early since him and Mommy will be in the Philippines during his birthday. I'm obsessed with the OneSpot crafting finds!

Darby Smart

Damn FB ads got me.  I did check out My Subscription Addiction and saw that she received a cute cupcake kit and was interested in seeing what Darby Smart had to offer.  When you sign up, you get a $10 off coupon which I applied to my order right away since it expires after you log out.  Instead of ordering a subscription, I wanted to know exactly what I was ordering and opted for these 2 terrarium kits to try out.

Excited to try these out!  I did see some mixed feedback on the site, but I guess you can't please everyone!  I really dislike feedback that is specific to a personal order, seen on an open feedback forum.  There is an email or phone number that you should utilize rather than inundate a space with negative comments about how your order was messed up.  I do like reading how people enjoyed or did not enjoy the contents as that is helpful when people are constructive with their crits.
