First of all, happy SUNDAY! I know, I am kinda late with my Thurs-diy roundup. Today I will share nice fantastic summer projects. What can I say I have been chasing and counting stars from one end of my world to the next. It’s kinda crazy how life happens right?!?! Have you seen these roundups yet?

It’s like BAMMMMM.

2. Mark Montano loves buttons as much as I do! You have to make these large button steps! It’s always nice to dress up your yard with fun things!

I know you will enjoy each and every tutorial in today’s post. What have you been doing lately? Any crafts you are working on?

\\ I recently announced that I was going to be working with Michaels as one of their “Michaels Makers” which pretty much means I am blogging for them. Check out my FIRST post I did for them. All I am gonna tell you is SHABBY CHIC…

\\ I also can officially talk about my partnership with Fiskars! Make sure to read all about it here!

\\ We all know that Orange is the New Black is back on. I mean, season 2. Me and some friends did a fun #oitnb roundup and created things based off of the show! Check it out because it’s funny!

Well! Today is the perfect day to share some exciting news with you along with my first project as a Michael’s Maker. This is a huge deal and I am tickled pink that I was offered this amazing opportunity to work with a brand that already owns my pocketbook (hehe). Being a part of this program will give me the chance to share exciting news about Michael’s and the crafts that they sell in the store.

Did I mention there are 29 other stellar bloggers creating each month with me! I know, pinch me.

The news I am sharing today will knock you out of your seat. For real!

You can now shop ONLINE at Michael’s . Word to your mother, right! Now I will never have to get on the road and politely run anyone over in desperation for the new packet of glass glitter. Ready for a little secret undercover info, Michael’s now has project ideas and one click shopping for all of the products that go with each project. Yep, all in one spot. Just for you! No more seeking various sites to find that certain q-tip that makes the gilding adhere better.

While sifting through the projects on the Michael’s site I ran across these precious “Antique Chalky Finish Mason Jars” and fell in love. I viewed the actual project and became excited all over again when I noticed at the bottom i could add all of the items in my cart with just one click. That easy! This will come in handy for those that might not have a Michael’s store near them or if your store doesn’t carry all of the things you need!

Next on my project list is the Floral Pom Pom Garland, White Party Box Favors, and these Honey Jars.

I love the milky look to these chalky finishes. I was really pleased with how smooth they went on my mason jars. I think I will need one of each color now! Take off all your lids and place them on a clean surface. We will be painting these as well. Start by painting your mason jar. You will add one coat but make sure it’s dry before adding another. Great news, this chalky finish dries super fast so by the time you get to your third jar your first one will be dry!

Have fun with your colors and mix them up if you want. Remember you will be sanding some of the paint away so having other colors show up a little will add to that vintage look you are going for.

Get your sand paper and lightly sand your jars and lids. Don’t worry, if you sand off too much you can apply more chalky finish paint. Time to play with our chalkboard tags! Did I mention how much I am in love with these. I want to put them on everything. Remember they are already coated with a chalk finish so all you have to do is write on them with your chalk markers!When you are finished putting the lids back on you can add your labels by wrapping the twine around the lid a few times then passing the twine through the tag then tie in the back. That simple, y’all!I hope you enjoyed the craft tutorial I shared and the exciting news from Michael’s! Let me know in the comment section what’s your favorite one step project on the site! We would LOVE to know!

I am absolutely in love with this tutorial I am sharing today. It’s bright, whimsical and fun! The great thing about is you can re-create this for an adult party or a kids party. Sometimes it’s easier to go to the party store and purchase all of your decorations but let’s face it, you are limited to what they have. This is the perfect way to get super involved in the party you are throwing and use the colors you want! Have fun!

I am so excited to share with you these fabulous Tie Dyed Shorts I created for the I love to create blog. I first started the project with intentions of just tie-dying but one thing led to another and next thing I knew lace made it’s way into the picture.

Let me know if you like the colors, lace or the stripes. These are really versatile and you can wear them with so many things. I also believe the process of how I made these can be used for so many other projects depending on your mood.

I have some really great exciting news to tell you! I can offically announce that I am teaming up with Fiskars and The Duck Brand to create some amazing craft tutorials using the new Fiskars Duck edition scissors. Each month I will be creating two posts that can be found on the Fiskars website. If you want to purchase a pair of these new scissors you can click on this link. It will take you directly to them. I will tell you this, I have been using different scissors for years now with duck tape and when I got these in the mail it changed my life.

(Well not really)

They seriously cut through duck tape like butter and do NOT stick to the duck tape. You know how annoying that can be when tape sticks to your scissors. Not anymore! I will be sharing my first post tomorrow so make sure and come back!
