DIY Mason Jar Project

Hi and Happy Summer!!!!!!  It's been a long time since I've posted.  It's been a busy summer so far and doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon.  With just a few months of this awesome weather I've been spending a lot of time at the beach.  How about you?  I hope your summer is going great too!

Today I do not have a card to share, but I do have a DIY project.  Mason jars have been all the rage and I'm a little late to the party, but I will finally share my take on this great and easy project.  Below are the three jars I recently made for a display in my bedroom.  I'm really happy with the result.  I watched a couple of tutorials - some used different techniques than others.  I chose the quick route and chalk painted the jars twice and then wax sealed them.  Pop over to "youtube" and you will find lots of tutorials.

I hope to be back in August with a card for my "Make it Monday" series.  In the meantime,
Happy Summer!

"Make It Monday" - Made with Love

Well it's Monday and time for another "Make It Monday" card.  Yesterday I went to a baby shower for my cousin Mary Jean's daughter, Caitlin.   Caitlin is not going to find out the baby's gender until it is born (yeah for surprises!!!) so I decided to keep the card in a gender neutral color of yellow or better known to my fellow Stampin' UP! demos as "Daffodil Delight".  I saw this wonderful card done in a pink and blue version featured on Julie Kettlewell's blog (oh how I love her work)and thought it would work well in yellow too.

All of the products used for this project are listed below and are from Stampin' UP! Don't forget to use June's Hostess code when shopping in my online store (see below). 

Have a wonderful week!!!!!

Happy Monday, everyone.  Today's post was inspired by Jennifer Frost's design.  In my version, I changed up the colors and embellishments to create the cards you see below.  I think I am going to continue on with the boxed set craze I'm on right now and add a box to the mix.  I will be selling these at my next craft fairs as a set of 4 cards/envelopes/box.

I used the beautiful "Helping Me Grow stamp set and the Brights Collection DSP (designer series paper) all from Stampin' Up!

Yesterday, my daughter and I went to our beach club on the south shore of Long Island and opened up our locker for the season.  Here is a small mess of what was left of the clean-out.  I'll share pictures of the inside next week once it is completely cleaned out.  It's always fun to know that for 3 months out of the year I have this little space at the beach to relax and enjoy with my family and friends.  I hope you all have a great summer.
