DIY Blog Sidebar with Pictures

Okay, as promised I am going to do a photo tutorial on how to add a blog side bar set. 

First go into your "design" section of your blog..... 

Then you are going to click on add gadget....


Then you choose the option to add a picture...


A box will pop up that looks like this...

click on choose file and click image you are using on your side bar


And that is how you add a photo to your side bar. If you want to link that image to something, like let's say facebook, then you will do the following steps...




Then where it says "link" you will add the link (if you'd like to)
It will look like this....


Then you will choose save.... 


And then you will choose save at the top of the main page too!


So go and design your sidebar! Hope this helps!!! 

Thanks!

New tags, journaling cards and place cards in the shop

 I love these collage tags. They're great for so much. You can use these as embellishments on layouts, tags for gift wrapping and more. And since there is a variety, you can use them for any occasion.... 

 Life is a picture..... isn't it though?! Our minds take mental photographs that stay with us forever. Good or bad, they shape who we are.
 What a cute little way to jot down thoughts! 
 These are chandelier placecards. They are vintage inspired and I hand aged on each side with espresso ink
 And I always have these laying around..... I end up picking them up for so many things. Filling that empty space on a layout or a card, or writing something on the back and tucking into an envelope. I will also punch a hole and add twine if I need a quick tag..... 

Thought I would share the latest goodies with you all ;)

DIY Printable Paper Take out Containers

Well, I did the fortune cookie template and design yesterday and I got to thinking, derrrrr, you need the take out container too! lol. So I decided to upload mine to the blog today. These are cute for anything. And I mean anything! Weddings, birthdays, when school finally starts up again you can do these for parties, etc. 

I uploaded the plain pattern, and then I've added some prints too! So you can either print out the template and cut out your own paper, or you can simply print out the designs that I have offered. 

Here's the basic template.....
