Watercolor Postcards Pt.1

My Christmas rocked! It was very relaxing and my friends and family spoiled me with awesome goodies. I got lots of Batman memorabilia and art stuff, so basically everything I wanted. Although I am grateful for all of my gifts, the one I have been utilizing most is a kit I got from my sister.

I've been wanting to get a more "serious" watercolor set for a while now. (aka one that doesn't have the word student or crayola on the outside) Luckily my sister is amazing and got me a wonderful watercolor field sketch box, a pack of watercolor paper postcards, and some aqua brushes. I have had a blast painting, find out more below!

Tutorial Tuesday: Leather Headband 2 Ways

Here's a confession for ya: for as much of a tomboy as I was in high school I had a guilty pleasure of trashy girly books. For example the Gossip Girl Series. I read them all and then watched the show religiously until the end of season 3. I was head over hills in love with Chuck Bass and all the outfits in the show coupled with Jenny's desire to be a fashion designer probably contributed to my late-blooming fashion appreciation.

Blair, one of the main females, had a kick-butt collection of headbands and was totally who I was channeling when I came up with this final tutorial for my leather from EndlessLeather. If you want to add a simple sophisticated headband to your arsenal read more below!

Toadstool Pushpins @ Dream A Little Bigger

Hello Cwafty Readers! If you're reading this it means you survived 2014, pat yourself on the back. It's going to be a big creative year for me, and one of my goals (not a resolution, those are different) is to post more regularly to keep my creative muscle exercised. Wish me luck!

I've had this idea ever since I covered my secondary cork board in that cute mushroom fabric you can see at the top of the shot below. Unfortunately the fabric is too busy to use the pushpins with but they look perfect with my green one!

I love the whimsical look of these guys sprouting from my inspiration board and you will too! They are so adorable! Learn how to make your own over at Dream A Little Bigger!

I'm happy with my first craft of the year, and here's to many more! 

 Til Next Time!
