Evernotes Every Friday

1. Chalkboard Wall Tree

I can’t believe Christmas is just next week, only days away. This year we ended up skipping the holiday decor around the house, there just wasn’t time to set it up nor time to enjoy it. So until next year, I am longingly stocking up on decoration ideas. Thanks to Lauren on Pinterest for this one! Originally found via Diary of a Fit Mommy.

2. Home Alone Illustration

Another, somewhat Christmas related find, is this illustration of Home Alone. It was fun to relive the movie going through all the floors… when I was a kid I went to bed wanting to have a dream of Kevin McAllister, hoping that I would be his sister and I could help him take the burglars down. Yeah, I was that kid. Found on Pinterest, originally by Adam Simpson (and it’s for sale!).

3. How to Hand Letter by Ann

I first saw Ann’s work at the Renegade craft fair over the summer, and have been following her work ever since. A few weeks ago she shared a “How to: Hand Lettering” post with book references and encouragement.

4. Clay Save the Date

And for my last two features, some fun wedding related finds! Ever since I made Christmas ornaments using clay and rubber stamps, I’ve kinda been in love with the endless possibilities the medium offers. So of course I gasped when I saw this DIY on Oh So Beautiful Paper! Love them! Plus I already sell Save the Date stamps in my Etsy shop!

5. Menu and Placards

And lastly, just a great idea on combining your menu with name cards at a wedding! Save some cash, and it looks beautiful! Photo from Jasmine Star.

I believe in magic. I believe in the power of true love. I believe in fairy tales and happy endings. And I live to create stationery and art for the young at heart to allow my fellow dreamers to treasure all of life’s most wondrous moments!
