Well, it is here. I crave color and life; I want to see green grass and flowers! On this sunny 27 degree day in Pittsburgh, I have to settle for some crafty flowers instead. Do you have any ribbon or buttons lying around? Supplies: RibbonButtonsFloral wireFloral tapeNeedleThreadScissorsGlue gun Martha taught me this first style of flower. Here I'm using a thin ribbon, so I cut 8 pieces, 6 inches long. Now, take the free ends and bring them into the center, like this, and secure with another stitch or two to hold them in place. Secure a button or two to the center either with a stitch or hot glue. Bend the floral wire in half and slide it under the stitches on the back of the flower to form a stem. Wrap the wire with floral tape to finish (**note to self, apply hand cream before photographing next tutorial) Bonus Button Flower Tutorial: One day I will craft again... / Elmer's glue on canvas.

Tutorial: Instagram Photostrips

I just can't get enough of the iPhone app. It's so much fun to take pictures and add fun little filters and effects. I like how it's also a mini-social network. Well, I love the app so much that I didn't want my favorite pictures trapped inside my iPhone for the rest of eternity. Don't they deserve to see the light of day too?!?!? I read in some magazine a while back about how you can turn your Instagram pictures into a miniature book. And then when I spotted my next project: Photostrips. I have been obsessed with the charming quality of Photostrips for a long time. Well, you can turn your Instagrams (and, frankly, any pictures you have) into super cute and, more importantly, tangible photostrips. Here's how: I first picked out which Instagrams I was going to use. (I know, one is missing from the folder haha... not sure where it disappeared to!)

In Photoshop, I made a "template" for the Photostrip. Can you see the white borders? Here are the strips on one sheet.
