Hi! Tina here today with a project that was un-planned, simple, and just plain happy. Often, when creating my Design Team projects, I get caught up in creating something that is overly-complex and over-planned. I get obsessed with creating a WOW project. A project that is much too serious.
But today, I am sharing a ‘spur of the moment’ project that is different than what I normally create.
Y’all know the Target Dollar Spot? That spot, right near the entrance of the store. {The spot that sucks you in} The Dollar spot bins are full of fun, colorful, and seasonal items. I can never walk into a Target without perusing the bins for items ‘I must buy’! ☺
One of the main reasons I enjoy shopping the Dollar Spot bins is that the items are inexpensive. We are all looking for a bargain, aren’t we? During a recent trip, I spied these little coupon holders. Super fun, cute & practical all by themselves.
But does practical need to be plain! No! Why not dress ‘em up a bit? I cut the entire Calendar Sticky Pad from the Jubilee Sherbet Sticky Notes – cardboard and all. I adhered it to the coupon holder with super sticky ScorTape. I added several chipboard and enamel shape embellishments for a whimsical design.
Supplies:Jubilee, Sherbet, Peace Chipboard Jubilee, Sherbet, Peace Sticky Notes Jubilee, Sherbet, Happy Mixed Bag Jubliee, Sherbet, Pretty Enamel Shapes Other: Coupon Holder: Target Adhesive: Scortape
Done! Instead of using my coupon holder to ‘hold coupons’, I am using mine to hold photos and little notes. A woman is allowed to change her mind. Ha!
I can carry this in my purse, to crops and creative events. Perfect for little notes and for safe keeping my project photos.
I hope you enjoyed my ‘just for fun’ project today. Remember, it’s okay to keep your creating simple and fun. Seriousness not required!
Tina
