Washi Tape

Random Loves for January

I hope you all are having a great weekend so far. After a long doctors visit yesterday, I’m ready to rest up and hopefully get lots of crafting done. All of these ideas are flowing in this brain of mine and I’m hoping they turn out like I envision. I suppose I’ll need to actually TRY them and see if they do!

If you have followed my blog, you know that each month I host a Random Loves post here on the blog. These posts are filled with random items I’m loving that month. It’s been so much fun to see YOUR lists over these months and check out the items you are listing. I’ve been introduced to many new things thanks to your suggestions!

Let’s get started on this month’s feature….

washi tape can be found here

How have I not mentioned this in a previous Random Loves post?! I am utterly in love with washi tape. I have been using it on all sorts of projects and can’t seem to get enough. Dozens of designs and colors and I’m still adding some to my collection! If you haven’t purchased your first roll, you must. Stat.

january_3bowl can be found here

In my effort to organize my bedroom, I got some new shelving and some new decor. This pretty bowl was one of my recent finds at Target and I absolutely love it. I love how it’s modern, artistic and most of all, it’s a pretty place to store things.

lotion can be found here

I have loved the Victoria’s Secret Love Spell scent even since I was 16. Not matter how many years pass, I don’t seem to get tired of this scene. Recently while I was doing some cleaning, I stumbled across more items I had and couldn’t help but spray some on myself. Love this stuff!

necklace can be found here

It’s no secret that I enjoy sparkly jewelry pieces. On a recent trip to Nordstrom I saw this beautiful necklace and was eying it with my sister. Since I was supposed to be buying gifts, I passed on it and didn’t think anything of it. Imagine my surprise when my sister gave it to me for Christmas. I absolutely love it! The color is so pretty and I’m surprised at how many outfits it works with.

savings chart can be found here

I did a blog post earlier this week on the 2013 savings chart I’m following. It makes me so excited to hear that many of you will be doing it with me! I have already put extra money into my jar and love seeing it add up already! If you want to have an extra $1300 at the end of the year, I’d highly suggest following this chart! Be sure to leave a comment on my earlier post and let me know you’ll be doing it, too! :)

Wonderful Washi Blog Hop

Good morning!

It’s time for the DeNami Design monthly blog hop. If you have started the hop from the beginning, you should be coming from Diana’s blog. You definitely want to be sure you visit all 19 stops; there’s bound to be lots of amazing washi tape inspiration!

I know that many of my readers are familiar with washi tape- it’s the hottest thing in blogging land right now! It took me a little while to dip my feet into this bandwagon, but now I am obsessed with it. Dozens of designs and colors and yet I’m still always on the lookout for new ones!

With Valentine’s Day coming up quickly, I thought I would create a card all about this sweet day. I have an abundance of red washi tape, so I decided to put them to use and create a washi tape heart.  It’s SUPER easy to do, too! I placed stripes of washi tape on white paper, used a heart die cut and voila! valentine1a

Did you happen to notice the red doily in the background? I first tried using a standard white one and it didn’t pop as much as I liked. Enter in a red ink pad and I immediately had a matching RED doily!

valentine1bIt’s time to head off to the next stop on the blog hop- Barbara Murphy’s blog! Barb is such a sweetie pie who is always so supportive and has great ideas- I can’t wait to see what she creates using washi tape!

Have fun with the rest of the hop, I hope you were inspired by my card. Don’t forget to leave comments on each stop for your highest chance of snagging one of the $20 gift certificates!

NOT LISTED: aqua paper & pearls, doily
