Lovely Paint Chip Craft Ideas

I'm currently in the process of redecorating my home office and I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before but I'll say it again, "There is nothing a little paint can't fix!"
I truly believe some paint, wall art and a few decor pieces can totally change up a space.
So if you're like me after a trip to Home Depot's Paint Section, you will come home with a whole heap of paint chips, even if you're not planning on painting your wall that colour anyway (they're just so pretty!).

The Crafty in me conjured up a few of these super lovely ideas that you can create with none other than paint chips (yes!). Now all those paint chips I tend to collect can be put to some good use.


I absolutely love sending out Thank You cards and little notes to family, friends and clients --this is such a pretty idea! With just a hole punch with a design you like, glue and paper you can create this lovely style! You can get more details on the Paint Chip Cards here.


If the feel and smell of a book still captures you as it does for me, these Paint Chip Bookmarks would be just perfect!


Gifts are always a little nice when packaged with care and with those added little touches, like these Paint Chip Gift Tags. Create whatever design you want!


As I mentioned, wall art can work wonders in a space. It's all up to you how you want to express yourself. How about killing two birds with one stone with these pretty Paint Chip Love Art framed pieces? If you want to steer away from the Lovey Dovey stuff, you can always change it up. LOVE this idea!


 Here's another great idea for Wall Art using Paint Chips. Create this spring-ready Paint Chip Tulip Canvas for your space. This is one piece of art that will surely be a conversation starter in your home.

My Princess' 1st Birthday








This past October 29th was a very special time for us. It was exactly a year after we were blessed with our daughter, Ava.
I wanted to keep her birthday party simple yet "pink & princess-y" of course with just our closest family and friends.
It was surely an occasion never to forget and we will hold dear to our hearts.

I chose to have our main focal point of the party solely on the cake and cupcakes (aside from the Birthday Girl).

The cake, cupcakes and cookies were created by my talented Cake Artist of Bella's Bon Bon's and they were such a hit - for their taste buds and visual appeal.

I added a unique and adorable flair to the cupcakes by adding cupcake toppers.
They are a new yet super cute "must-haves" to hit the party planning scene for cupcakes.
Leah from The Design Studio created these lovely toppers for me (as I was short on time), but they are so very easy to create with simple tools: paper, ink, scallop press and lollipop sticks.

I also had matching tags made for the themed Princess/1st Birthday Cookie Favors as an added touch which I wrapped in clear treat bags.

People were also asking me about Ava's custom top she was wearing.
We created this by purchasing iron-on applique's from Michael's Arts & Crafts Store and a simple plain pink long-sleeved onesie from Carter's.
Coupled with her sheer princess tu-tu and butterfly wings & wand (all purchased from The Party Packagers) our little Butterfly Princess was all set for her Birthday Costume Party (her party fell on Halloween so it was very fitting).

Fantastic Occasion, Perfect Day and Delicious and Memorable Treats!
