Diy Travel album

Today iam making a paper album from what I have.

I am using a Travel paper pack from Hobby Lobby. And an old map. 

The album is made from a cereal box cut and covered in paper with a yarn tie. That also holds the pages in. The pages  I cut from an old coloring book and I decorated them with stickers and paper from the kit.

Beach Sand Art

 

Sand Art 




  • Sand in various colors
  • Glass vases in various sizes
  • Glass votive candles
  • Funnel
  • Wooden skewer
  • Spoon
You can find decorative sand at your local craft store; the kids' crafts section will have bright, saturated colors, while the floral section will have more neutral hues. You can also dye your own with food coloring. 

Pour your first layer of sand into the vase. Don't worry about making the layers even or uniform — in fact, uneven layers will look more interesting in the end. Continue layering sand in various colors. Use a spoon or your fingers to create ridges and valleys in the sand.
Once you've added several layers of sand, place your votive candle in the center of the vase. You want the rim of the candle to sit about half an inch below the rim of the vase. Using a funnel, continue pouring sand around the candle. Stop when the top layer of sand sits about half an inch below the rim of the candle.You can leave your layers as they are, or use a wooden skewer to create patterns in the sand. Insert the skewer vertically into the sand as close to the side of the vase as possible, then pull it out. Repeat around the entire vase for a chevron-like pattern. Then you are ready to Display your Candle. 

Diy under the sea

My card project is a window to the sea

I am using a paper pack from Hobby Lobby.  
I used a pre-made frame,  vinyl from packaging and foam tape with clip art and glitter.  All layered together. 
It's all about layering this design to give it the window effects.
