Creating A Pretty & Simple Life
Tonight’s project was inspired by my boys – my hubs and my son, Westley. I love these two. I really do. But I wish they were more OCD like me. Every night I clean up the mess that my son has made of my desk. Add to that the chaos of trying to run my own business and manage a household and you can imagine
Tonight’s #htgawcrafting project was inspired by Alexis aka Miss Trenchcoat and this Heidi Swapp Instagram post. I knew I wanted some cute holiday clips for my planner, but I hadn’t found anything I really liked. I love seeing all of the colorful planner layouts and accessories on Instagram, but I prefer my planner to be a bit simpler. So it can be a challenge to find just
One of my friends on Facebook accepted the #htgawcrafting challenge after reading my tutorial on making DIY Gold Foil Ornaments. In her comments she mentioned that she didn’t know what the MINC Foil Applicator was. I explained, but realized not everyone is going to have one of these fabulous machines.

These are perfect to tag catalog pages when doing holiday shopping. They’re also perfect for planners! Let’s get started. Supplies to Make
So after completing yesterday’s How To Get Away With Crafting challenge, I realized I wasn’t done decorating my pink Christmas tree. It needed a little something – garland! Yes, I needed some more sparkle. I mean, can you really EVER have enough sparkle for the holidays? So for today’s 1-hour craft, I’m making my own gold foil snowflake garland. This craft was pretty simple, but also
So I am a HUGE fan of the show How To Get Away With Murder. Not only does it keep me entertained for 1 hour, it gives me 60 minutes of Me Time. I place myself if my “cone of Amber silence” and take in the drama and shadiness of Annalise, Frank, Bonnie and the Keating 5. Now with it being on hiatus, I am
So if you’re loving your MINC foil applicator you’re probably also pulling your hair out from time to time. I love this craft tool, but I’ve found, that it can quickly become a hefty investment. I found a little trick that will hopefully help you stretch your craft dollars too! One theme you’ll find on this blog is craft thriftiness. I’m all about buying high
I love my Heidi Swapp MINC foil applicator. If you follow my Instagram accounts @PinkimonoGirl and @pinkimonopapers, you will see the evolution of my infatuation with my MINC foil applicator. After reading this post from DamaskLove.com about foiling, I wanted to give it a try. At the time I only had the option of a laminator to foil my work which worked okay. Then a few days later (as
