I was walking through the craft store a few weeks ago and came across the coolest pictures. They had a hefty price tag, and my first thought was, I can probably create that very same thing for a lot cheaper. I liked the look of the picture under the glass and the way the vinyl outlined the splashes of color in the frame. They were so simple, yet perfectly pretty.

A friend and I have planned a trip to celebrate her 30th birthday. We thought Hawaii would be the perfect getaway. With that in mind, I decided making paper Lei’s would be a fun way to share my “Inspiration” and travel in style. If sandy beaches aren’t in your wake this summer season, I hope you find time to make your own backyard Luau BBQ and create paper Lei’s for each of your guests. Mahalo!
I will be hosting a girls brunch, and tea in the next few weeks. My guest of honor will be getting married and I wanted to find a way to let her know how much of a treasure her friendship is to me. I created the Treasure Chest Gems Cutting Collection with 12 different gems and a treasure chest so that I could make my own treasure. I thought it would be perfect to bling out some doughnuts with some pirate's booty and turn them into rings. I can send my guests away with a treasure chest of doughnut rings and a little note that says, "Ahoy, me hearty!" I hope you find a fun way to use this collection, and use it in a way that inspires all your "mateys".
This paper tie project might just be the perfect way to do more than just create cute cards and layouts—you can wear your designs too! Have fun making this simple sentiment of love and send dad off to work in style.

It’s about time for me to take a little trip, so I couldn’t resist making these cute little paper planes. It will be a nice touch to add a little note to each plane and remind my girlfriends how excited I am for a weekend getaway. This project is perfect for a mobile or to hang the planes from the ceiling using clear fishing line to create the illusion you have pilots flying above your head. They’re bound to fly come rain or shine so sit back, enjoy the flight, and get ready for takeoff.
65 million years ago dinosaurs became extinct, but we've brought them back in our Ferocious Friends Cutting Collection. There is no need to be afraid of these prehistoric creatures, as they are all friendly and ready to hold their pose for your paper projects. The pieces in this collection are perfect for creating a scene on a scrapbook layout, like I did for today's project. Arrange and re size all of the images on your page in the Inspiration Studio software as you design your page. Once they are cut out you can simply add photos and glue everything down. To make the project even easier, I used a Cut And Paste Sketch, Away We Go. I simply deleted the elements that I didn't need and added the Ferocious Friends images instead.

My New Year’s resolution is to save more money. What’s yours? It is never too early to teach the advantages of having a savings to youngsters, and they may be more excited about stashing their money away if they have a cute bank to keep it in. Create this fun piggy bank and make them squeal with delight each time they’re able to add to their savings. I had some left over roasted almond containers on my kitchen counter and thought it would be fun to take something I would normally end up throwing away and turn it into a project instead. It’s a clever way to show people how to recycle, and inspire their own creativity in the process.
Another fresh year is right around the corner. What is your resolution for the coming new year? Bring in the new year with your guests using these cute party blowers and fun straws covered in washi tape. The countdown starts now, so be ready and have your favors assembled and ready to go.
