DIY Painted Paverstone Garden Art

I have had these round pavestones in my garden for a while and I had an idea brewing for what to do with them, paint them!!  Now I am not a great free hand artist, I am a stick figure kind of person, but I have these amazing stencils from The Crafter's Workshop and I thought, why not stencil them to paint them!  I can do that!



I did 2 different versions with the 2 stones I had, one in a black paint and just using the vineyard stencil, the second in a pale green paint but this time I added in little flowers for fun.  Here is a video on how to make these fun painted garden stones.



I love the look of both I am really not sure which I like more, but to keep things looking consistent I might add flowers to the black vine one.


I love the little flowers on this green vine stone, I drew them with pencil first so could place them out as I wanted.



This is a fun summer craft for the kids too.  So many possibilities, just use a different stencil!  Now I have a couple of fun art pieces in my garden as little step stones under my stone bench.

Cute as a Button - Craft Storage Idea

I have a ton of little crafty items that need good ways of being stored, and buttons are one of them.  So I grabbed some empty spice jars, and decorated them up with colored coded tops to match my button colors.  Here are my pink, light blue, and yellow button jars!



Adding a few cute stamps, color coded papers, and painted lids helps make these jars come to life to help store my button.  Watch my video tutorial on how to clean your jars, paint the tips, and a TON of crafty tips on helping you create your own crafty storage.


Using the Pink and Main papers, dies, and stamps make these jars just too cute.  Even more fun to pull out and play with these buttons that have been in my stash for ever!  I just love these ice cream cones, they re just too cute!!!



I painted to tops of the jars to match the colors of the buttons.  Now I only have about 15 more colors to go, but at least this is a start and will make but button hunting easier.  The best way to use your crafty supplies is to make them easy to find.  If they are hidden or not seen, then you never use them!


All the papers are held on to the jars with the amazing Xyron sticker makers.  They turn everything into a stickers, it makes crafting a breeze!!!


Since this is a hop, you know we have to have a little blog hop candy.  Pink and Main and Xyron are each giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to Pink and Main and a Xyron Mega Runner.  Go to Xyron’s Facebook page and like and comment from the pas few days and on any Pink and Main post for a chance to win a prize pack from Xyron and Pink and Main!

Fitness Planner Embellishments

I got these fun stamps in the mail from SRM Press that are for planners and all about fitness and being healthy.  I think they are super cute, but I had to do my spin on the just a little stamp and make something a little different, so why not a little embellishment that you can use in your planner or in other crafts!!



Here is my video on how I made these fun fitness planner embellishments!



These SRM Press Healthy planner stamps are just too cute, and even if you are not a planner person, these stamps can be used for so much more, just look at these fun embellishments I made with the stamps as a focus!

http://www.srmstore.com/


Adding in the punched layers of paper in bright colors and the Rinea foiled paper all add to the  fun of these embellishments, makes you want to workout...hehe, I need all the help I can get :)



Making these as a batch is so much easier than just trying to make one or two, you already have all the items out, so why not make a large amount!! Now I have these fun embellishments to swap with friends!


So have fun thinking of little mini art pieces to use for your stamps, it is a fun way to create and feel like you have accomplished a ton!
