Inspiration Saturday!

Hello friends! We've had a busy week this week; we went to the local amusement park, to the wading pool, lots of park time, to see the Emoji Movie - which was a hit! and had a water balloon fight in the backyard. And, Amie, who's 10 has been baking up a storm! She made chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, which were really good, on Wednesday, and has made scrambled eggs and regular, blueberry and almond flour pancakes Friday morning as well as a grilled cheese sandwich for herself for lunch. Her dad bought her a mini griddle and she already has tons of recipes pinned to try!

Here are some crafty inspiration sites, videos and freebies for you to check out!

1) I've really been enjoying finding some awesome home decor inspiration lately, and I was so impressed when I came across Bless'er House. You'll find some amazing 'drool-worthy' home decorating pics and tips on the Blog and Instagram feed! I'm warning you though, it's addictive!

2) Crafty Bit Creations has a great video tutorial showing four different Distress Oxide Ink backgrounds with the cutest mermaid stamps! I am loving playing with my first set of DOX inks, and I'm working on the second set!

3) Craftin Dessert Divas have their August New Release event going on right now, and depending on the number of attendees, Tara puts the occasional FREEBIE digi stamp up in the CDD Store! Every month they have a New Release Event, so it's worth following along to see all the awesome inspiration and pick up a couple free digi stamps! And who knows, you may even find a new stamp set you can't live without 😉

4) Dreaming Tree SVG has the most adorable Fairyville SVG Bundle out, and it's free with a $9.98 purchase. Details are in the link!

5)And, lastly, Dawn Nicole Designs has a beautiful August tech calendar for you to download FREE for your computer, phone or ipad! If you sign up for her Happy Mail you'll always be notified everytime she has a new one available.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Inspiration Saturday!

Hi friends!! I hope you had a great week! We went to Invermere, BC this past week and enjoyed some wonderful warm weather and some relaxing time on the beach. It was awesome! I'm back to bring you some crafty inspiration for your weekend, whether you're at home or enjoying some time away! Here's a cute pic of my two littles enjoying their time at the beach ;)

1. Dawn Nicole Designs has a wonderful colouring page download for you to enjoy free! I love taking colouring with me on the beach! I have an inkjet printer, so to avoid any ink smudges I colour  using coloured pencils (love my Jane Davenport ones!) or use Copics or other alcohol based Markers. I print directly on white cardstock without changing any printer settings.

2. Tim Holtz had a Facebook live video Friday showing all the amazing Halloween goodies he's coming out with, and boy are they awesome! I know it's still early, but as crafters we've gotta be on things in order to have time to create ;) and I have to admit I'm a tad bit excited!!

3. Canvas Corp Brands blog - The Creative Studio, has its July challenge up and running with a flags of the world theme! Simply interpret the Inspiration Board your way using your own supplies and you could win a box full of goodies from Canvas Corp, Tattered Angels and 7gypsies!

4.  Yvette Webber is such a talented scrapbook designer! I've been following her on Instagram, and just love seeing all her amazing projects! You can also check out her blog - Scrapping With Yvette!

5. Creative Market has free beautiful fonts and downloads. I've grabbed the awesome Loveline Brushscript this week, and their blog has lots more inspiration as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoy a creative weekend!!

Inspiration Saturday!

I've been thinking there are so many cool and creative ideas, sites and blog posts I come across each week that I would start sharing some of them with you!

1) Each month the Creative Studio on the Canvas Corp Brands blog has a challenge, and they have the most beautiful mood board put together to inspire you! This month's theme is 're-birth' and you can use whatever supplies you have on hand and follow the theme/moodboard. The prize is a box of supplies from Canvas Corp, 7gypsies and Tattered Angels!! And you get to Guest Design with your box of goodies in May! The challenge is open until April 5th - so put your thinking cap on and enter your project!! You can find March's challenge HERE.

2) In keeping with the Spring Theme I found this fun Spring/Easter Hutch Decor video by Craft-O-Maniac on YouTube. Love the cute ideas she has for decorating, and she has more inspiration on her channel!

3) Here are some FREE cut files you can use with your electronic cutter! For March SpiegelMom Scraps has some pretty Spring files - and you can access all the other months from the above link as well! The SpiegelMom Scraps blog always has lots of inspiration!!

4) My blogland friend, Lisa, from A Mermaid's Crafts is having a 6 Year Blogaversary Giveaway! She designs amazing cards with so much yummy texture you won't believe your eyes :o Click on the link to find out how to enter her fantastic giveaway and take a peek at all the awesomeness on her blog!

5) And lastly, I wanted to share the beautiful March Calendar Wallpaper from Dawn Nicole Designs for your phone, i-Pad or computer. I love having a beautiful picture on my tech screens when I turn them on. It's so inspiring. Just scroll down to the link for whichever device you want the wallpaper for and save the photo, which you can then turn into wallpaper by going to your photo and choosing that option. There are tons of freebies on Dawn Nicole's blog and she does amazing hand lettering - well worth a look around!
