Rue Issue 5!

How can you not love this mag?

This modern-farm-inspired house is making me all happy and dreamy...

Love the curtain in the back! I may have to try this...

How great are these party/wedding ideas? Simple and clean with a touch of flair.

Crafty time! Confetti System

Who doesn't love these fabulous piñatas and tassel banners that have been showing up at all the most quirky and fashionable weddings and events around? They're made by the Confetti System and everything about them makes me want to throw a party. The problem is... well, they're a bit on the spendy side. So it's time to use their inspiration to make a few of our own!

A special thanks to The Selby for most of these pics and Okapikat for the great How-To.

Crafty time! Pennant Banner

I've seen these all over the place lately so I decided to try to make one on my own. Here's the result:

How to:

Step 1:Find pieces of paper/materials in colors you like. I chose brown craft paper, pink card stock, ivory tissue and foil to have a good mix of textures in colors that looked nice together. 

Step 2: Find a nice piece of string, thin rope or twine

Step 3: Cut out all the papers in same-size triangles

Step 4: Place glue on the top of the triangle in a thin line. 

Step 5: Fold over the top of the triangles over the string, gluing the top strip to the lower-top part of the triangle with the sting inside. 
Step 6: Trim the little over hangs at the top from each side. 
Step 7: Repeat with the rest of your triangles evenly spaced out and you're done!

Loving RUE Issue 4

After the death of Domino (RIP) I, like many others, have been keeping my eye out for the equivalent- be in in print or digital form. After getting hooked on Lonny mag, I've now set my sites on rue. And let me tell you- I have not been disappointed. Check out the fabulousness.

My Portfolio

I was inspired yesterday to put together all of my favorite pictures into a portfolio of sorts. It was quite the walk through time and I love seeing them all together. I'm hoping to start helping local businesses that I am inspired by by lending my lens so this is the beginning of this adventure. If anyone you know may be in need of my services, please let me know!
