A couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted to try making something but it involved transferring a photo onto wood so I did a little research. Most of the tutorials I came across involved a few specialty materials like matte gel and the backing paper of printer labels. I didn’t have any printer label paper handy and don’t even know what matte gel is.So I found a cheaper (don’t have to buy anything) and simpler solution. All you need is a regular inkjet printer and regular waxed paper.It was the perfect solution and it works GREAT.

I have a fun DIY pet bed you can make from an old suitcase.I just happened to find a bright red vintage samsonite suitcase, so I just had to try one of my own. I would have loved to have bought some retro legs for the bottom of the bed, but did not want to spend a lot without knowing whether it would actually be used by the little fuzzies, so I used wooden ball feet I bought at the craft store and painted aqua. I love how easy it was to make, and if you are a savvy shopper, economical too!

We scanned a good most of them in a few years ago. Recently my mom and I went through them all again. We pulled out the ones we wanted to keep and made a pile of outtakes and landscapes that were not special, that my mom gave me to craft with. I have wanted to make a slide lampshade for a looong time now, and I was super excited to finally get the opportunity.
