Roundup, Pinterest Love and More!

Hello! It's that time again! A fresh new week about to start, plenty of ideas to try and then the attempt of keeping on top of everything we have to do with what we want to do :) I find it hard this time of year to keep up on everything (cleaning) and then all the crafts I want to do, paper I want to play with and that little bit of holiday shopping. I think I am really going to have to keep lists. Time management isn't always my friend, haha.

Good morning! It's Sunday! Which means checking around to see who has their coupons up and all the pinterest love I can cram into one post! I didn't think I would love pinterest as much as I do, but boy oh boy! I just can't stop! lol. However, I really need to start creating as much as I am admiring! :D Anybody else running into this problem?! hahaha! You can find me on pinterest HERE

To print on a paper bag, invert the image (across horizon), click on "Custom" and enter the dimensions (5.2x10.2). Rename the custom print, "paper bag". Hit OK and you're all set. Next time, you'll just have to go to paper size and select "paper bag".

 Need to stain some wood for a quick project, but don't have any wood stain on hand? Or maybe you just don't want to buy all that stain for one little project. No problem! Just use distress ink from your scrapbook stash!

 Printing and painting with lace. I love doing this. But I have a slighly different method. I lay the lace down and then dab (almost like sponge painting) with my ink pad. I use old lace though, nothing good as you can't really wash it out! haha :) 

And now for the coupons......
