Decoupage Shoe Box
I haven’t done anything remotely crafty in months so I did something over the weekend. I have quite a few shoe box sized, pretty boxes from places like Michaels from over the years that hold letters, meaningful cards, random mementos, playbills etc. It was time for a new one since my old ones are all bursting and the lids hardly fit over them now.

I did end up buying a really pretty box with a canvas lid, but I also wanted to use a shoe box…

Simple Christmas Cards
A few years ago I made Christmas cards. Nothing fancy, just card stock, markers, and 3D Christmas stickers.

My vision was to get plain white cards and to draw a door on them with my new house number and a 3D wreath sticker. I went to Michael’s and couldn’t find anything! Most of the Christmas stuff was wiped out and this was back in early December so it’s not like I was looking last minute! I found a few things that could have…
