With A Merry Heart
I enjoy cultivating my green thumb, and ♥ to spend more time outdoors in my garden!
I have now discovered that I ♥ to sew! I enjoy recreating pretty patterns, so if you know of some great ideas, let me know!

Great idea! Use stacks of pallets for a table!

DIY Decorated Clipboards - I got sick of looking at the plain old Masonite clipboards, so I decided to decorate them. It’s easy, simply cut out scrapbooking paper to fit onto the clipboard. Apply a good base coat of MOD PODGE then place paper on top. Allow to dry for a couple of hours to avoid wrinkles and do a good TOP COAT of the podge to seal!
I used to work in a Stationery Shop and learnt to LOVE pretty stationery… Now I want to make my own stationery look Pretty! And my first step were to create these cute paper envelopes!
- Create an envelope template by using one you already have. Simply ‘cut’ open all the edges, making sure you have all the inside flaps of the envelope.
- Position the template (facing up) onto the area of the paper that looks best (I tried to centre the love hearts on the front of the envelope.
- Trace around the edges of the envelope using a ruler to keep the edges nice and straight.
- Cut out the template. Using a ruler and cutter keeps the edges straight, however if you have a steady hand scissors are fine!
- Fold along all the edges - including flaps - to get the shape of your envelope. (I placed the template inside the pretty paper once folded to make sure they were the same size)
- Using roll on adhesive tape made sticking the envelope together quite easy- no fiddly cutting of sticky tape here. Put double sided tape with the peel-off backing across the inside of the top flap for sealing when the time comes.
