I am a Southern DIY blogger and Designer known for fearlessly conquering anything and everything do-it-yourself. I aim to create unique designs by working through my thoughts, dreams, emotions, and tons of glitter!

You can also visit my Etsy shop at jaderbomb.etsy.com. Make sure to check out my FREE PRINTABLES site www.freeprettyprintables.com My biggest accomplishment thus far is being a guest on the Martha Stewart show, yes she smells good. I love my dog Ceaux Ceaux, pens,the smell of Christmas, GOLD, Dr. Pepper and blogging. BTW: I bleed glitter, all shades.

Howdy Jaderbugs! I had a fun week with my craft tutorials and wanted to make sure you didn’t miss one single thing! I hope you enjoy them if it’s your first time seeing them.

1.Ring around the Rosie Necklace: I had so much fun using Martha Stewart’s new line of jewelry. It was fun to create something that anyone could wear!

2. Happily Ever After Printable: When I made this I pictured it in someones home, in a shabby chic vintage white frame with a candle next to it. Doesn’t it make you want it more now!

3. Cupcake Liner Party Hat: I had so much fun making this only because it was not a planned craft. This will make anyone smile and if it doesn’t then put the hat on and dance like a monkey, that should work.

Happy Sunday Jaderbugs! Yesterday I started playing around with some of my fonts and decided to make a new printable for you. I have not made a printable in quite some time. Sometimes I like having something to pop in a frame that speaks volume. Something that does not cost a fortune and can be replaced quite often with new content. Printable’s are perfect for that. I love the cream and mint stripes in the background so I figured putting lovely bouquets of flowers on top would top off that vintage look I was going for. I hope you enjoy it and I promise to start making more printables for you.

Click the link below for the FULL PDF PRINTABLE. ((You can save the image to your desktop however I am not sure how your computer settings will print it out.))When you open the PDF there will be a button on the bottom right corner with a printer on it. Click it and check the box that says “fit to page”. This will size it at the size it should be, which is a 5×7. If you leave that box with the check it in it, it will print as a full page and could possibly look distorted.

XOXO, Jaderbomb

WHAT! I party hat made with cupcake liners. The other day while running into Fred’s to get something I bumped into cupcakes liners. Well technically I didn’t “bump” into them. I walked over to get my washing powder, grabbed it and headed to the register. The line was long and there was only one person checking everyone out. I will never understand why stores do that in the middle of the day. Now I understand why they put magazines and yummy goodies by the registers. I really believe the store managers do this on purpose so you “have” to wait in a long line which will make you buy more things and in return the store makes more money, right!

Anyways, I turned around and my eyes saw the party isle. They always have the same things but this time they had pastel cupcake liners. I immediately turned my body to go check them out then it dawned on me how long I had been waiting in line. There was no way I was giving up my spot to get cupcake liners. I would have to be pretty ridiculous to do that! Guess what happened? I had no control over my body and left the line. It’s ok because after I stood there deciding which colors I wanted to get I turned around and the line was gone. So you see sometimes it pays to get out of line.

Wanna see what I decided to do with my cupcake liners from Freds!

I just loved the way it turned out. Jaderbug’s it will only cost you around 3 bucks to make this!

How stinking cute are the polka- dot ones! Speaking of dots check out this post.

The first thing you want is fold your cupcake liner in half.

Then fold that half in half.

I kind of squish it together with my fingers then it’s time to glue this baby down.

I like to put a little dot of hot glue on my card board cone and place the cupcake liner right on top of it. || See above.

I love how whimsical it turned out!

It’s like a big fluffy cotton candy hat.

I will not lie, I am super excited to wear this. My birthday is quickly approaching and this might just come in handy. I hope you enjoyed this easy tutorial, see ya in the next post!

It’s a DIY kinda DAY!

It’s Bloggy Love Thursday and that means I am sharing with you some awesome crafts to get you ready for the Summer! These are all kid friendly which is always a big plus.

* Paper Lantern Balls by Mark Montano. I couldn’t be more excited about this project. It’s taking a paper ball and making it look like you spent a whole-lotta money on it.

*DIY Pinch and Twist Tie Dye Technique by Margot Potter. Now this screams Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring to me. My mind is all over the place thinking about what I can do this on. Curtains?! Hmmm…

*Zebra Stripe Lawn Flamingo by Heather Mann. First of all I am prolly the one person who LOVES pink flamingoes in my yard. But a ZEBRA one…This is genius. I am thinking of a Leopard one now, right.

*Princess Party Necklaces by Cathie Filian at Handmade Happy Hour. I seriously want to wear every single color of these and at the same time. What a perfect time to make these. They would be great for a kids party!

I hope you enjoyed your weekly dose of my crafty friends!
Which craft could you see yourself doing first?

I have to admit that this months box of goodies was quite delightful. Mainly because it was filled with Martha Stewart’s new line of jewelry. Delightful to me means I was shaking my head for a minute trying to figure out what I was going to make. I will say, I am pretty darn crafty Jaderbugs but me making jewelry?! I have to be honest the box was making me a little nervous until I lit my Nag Champa in my studio and threw on my favorite play list. I quickly realized that Martha knew what she was doing when she designed this line. She figured out a way to make it easy for anyone to make classy pieces of jewelry in a heartbeat. Check out this video to hear Martha’s message.

Martha, if you are reading this… YOU ROCK
{{ok, this is asking a lot but if you do read this just shoot me a comment and let me know what you think, hehe}}

I love these beads so much. Anytime I see “Ombre” I replay Martha telling me about Oscar de la Renta’s Ombre craze on the show and how beautiful his gowns were.
One day I will wear one of those!

||First thing you will do is cut the wire that’s holding all of the beads together. I like to snip it on the tip.

||Grab your wire and wrap it around one of loops.
It’s really important to coat the whole strand of chain with beads so start as close to the edge as possible.

The catch to this is pretending you are a kid jumping through hoops. I swear it’s that simple. Put a bead on, pass the wire through the next loop then add another bead. Continue doing this until your chain is completely filled with blue beads.

I used the colors in the order they came in. The Ombre look is what I was going for.

When you get to the end secure with a jewelry clasp and VOILA! You just made a unique piece of jewelry. I hope you have fun with this new collection!

Make sure you come back tomorrow for a new craft using the Martha Stewart Jewelry collection.

I love the SUMMER! I could start a list of the reasons why but I will keep it short and sweet today. The MAIN reason I love summertime is for refreshing food. It’s always fun to come up with different ways to make healthy meals that also cool off your insides. Is that even possible. “COOL YOUR INSIDES”, (haha).

Today I am sharing a recipe that we always make. Not only is it super simple but it’s SUPER good. Wanna see how I made it.

INGREDIENTS:
*Box of wheat pasta
*4 medium cucumbers
*Salted sliced almonds

1. Boil your noodles then drain. Put them in a large bowl.
2. Dice cucumbers and put them in the bowl.
3. Add Balsamic Vinaigrette into the bowl and mix. You can use as much as you like.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste
5. Crush up a mint leaf and mix in bowl.
