Editor’s Note: Like many artsy kids, when I was young, Martha Stewart was my DIY mentor. I devoured her magazines, thumbing through them at least a dozen times before I’d let myself carefully clip snippets to glue in my sketchbook. So, naturally I was excited when one of my favorite custom photo product brands Mixbook […]

I’m not one to make New Year Resolutions. However, I do like to try to make a list of goals… what I want more or less of and I like to think about what little things I can do in my life that might have a big impact in the long run. This year, I […]

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons but especially for decorating. There are so many fun options in the stores to fill your home with, but if you know me by now, you know I love my DIY projects! I wanted something cute and easy and decided on this adorable tassel wall hanging which […]

First off, what is a double exposure?  From Wikipedia: In photography and cinematography, a multiple exposure is the superimposition of two or more exposures to create a single image, and double exposure has a corresponding meaning in respect of two images. The exposure values may or may not be identical to each other. What I love and don’t love about double exposures is that the final photo […]

Editor’s Note: We’re excited to share this DIY featuring lovely card stock and a circle paper punch from our friends at Paper Source (a.k.a. our favorite paper store on the planet!). If you’re joining us at our Craftcation: Business & Makers Conference next spring in Ventura, California, you’ll get to know Paper Source better AND […]
