Currently List #61

Hello! It's Tuesday and it's time for another Currently List!

Watching: I'm so glad that Devious Maids is back! This show is so entertaining. I also caught up on Tierra de Reyes. The show is starting to get really good.

Reading: Whoa! I had a ton of blogs to catch up on today. I'm really glad that I use Bloglovin' and I highly recommend it. I love that I can have all of the blog posts in one place which makes it easy to catch up on everything that I need to read.

Listening: I'm really starting to love Misterwives. I really like their song Vagabond. I may have to buy their album.

Making: I am also caught up on my Project Life album. I have about a week (or two?) to catch up on, but it's mostly journaling. I'm thinking about changing things up next year with my Project Life album. I think I might try a smaller size rather than 12x12 sized album...maybe I won't fall behind on my album so much.

Feeling: It's been a busy day today and I am so exhausted.

Planning: I got a few big things that I want to accomplish soon, but I will probably reveal what those things are once I actually do accomplish them. I don't want to jinx it.

Loving: It has been super hot lately. After going outside and feeling like I was going to melt, I am very happy to come inside to a nice, cool home.

Ways I use Washi Tape

Hey! Hey! A few days ago, I was looking through my craft supplies before I made a run to Michaels. I mainly go to craft stores to get adhesives and enamel dots since I get the Freckled Fawn Oh Deer Me embellishment kit. I have enough cardstock and patterned paper to last me a while so I don't purchase paper unless I don't have a specific color that I need or if it's an impulse buy. One thing that I have not bought in a very long time is washi tape. I guess technically you could say that I do purchase washi once a month since Freckled Fawn has a washi tape in every kit, but I haven't bought a single roll from Michaels or Hobby Lobby (or online) since last year.

When I was looking through my craft supplies, my washi tape collection caught my eye. I think that I have a decent amount of washi tape although I consider my stash to be small compared to other collections that I have seen. Looking at my washi tape basket made think of the ways that I use washi tape. Below are some ways that I use washi tape on my projects.

• Layouts- I use washi tape on a lot of my layouts. I love that they add a pop of color and texture to my layouts.

• Cards- I love that you can use washi tapes on greeting cards. These can be really useful especially when you want to make quick and simple greeting cards.

• Project Life cards- Just like greeting cards, you can use washi tape to make quick and easy Project Life cards. Sometimes I use a couple of different washi tapes on my Project Life cards and other times, I just stick with one washi tape.

• Home Decor- I love using washi tape when I want to make decorate frames. It's really simple, but so cute.

• Gift Wrap- Ah this one is awesome. I have been known to forget to buy tape especially when I need to wrap a gift. When this happens, I just look through my stash of washi tape and pick whichever one looks closest to the gift wrap paper. Then I wrap the present and it's good to go.

• DIY embellishments- I read an article (or maybe it was blog post?) and I learned about a super easy way to make your own embellishments using washi tape! So you get white cardstock and put strips of washi tape on it. Then you take any punch you have and punch out shapes. They look awesome as 3D embellishments (using foam dots to adhere punched out shapes) onto layouts, cards, etc. 

So now I'm on the hunt for more ways to use washi tape because this is one crafting product that I actually hope to go through a just a bit more quickly.

What are some of your favorite ways to use washi tape?

Until next time...

Currently List #60

Hello! It's Tuesday and it's time for another Currently List!

Watching: I swear I love this novela. It's getting good.

Reading: Now that our staycation is over. I have been catching up on my emails and blogs. I also need to start reading some new books that I purchased over the past few weeks.

Listening: This song has been on repeat for the most of the day.

Making: I have been making lots of Project Life layouts, Project Life cards, and working on a mini album using my Freckled Fawn kits as well as other crafting supplies.

Feeling: So many awesome things are happening and it's making me feel excited, happy, and hopeful.

Planning: I've been trying to catch up on a lot of stuff. Due to our staycation, I decided to put a lot of things on hold so that we could enjoy our vacation. It was so worth it even though I have a ton of stuff to catch up on like errands and stuff on my to do list(s).

Loving: I'm feeling super hopeful and that is making me think of all the possibilities that are out there. If things go as planned then a lot of stuff might change. Usually I'm afraid of change, but some changes can be amazing.
