Scrapbook Page Holder Fall Challenge Entry

Whew! It's been a long day. I have been so busy. Just now getting a chance to post my blog.

I signed up for a challenge in a Facebook group I'm in called, Girls, Giggles, Glitter, and Glue. It can be anything using fall colors but nothing too small. Deadline is September 30.

I have been hoarding a Scrapbook Page Holder I purchased from Michael's a few years ago. Every since I saw a video on YouTube where this lady used it as a calendar stand, I wanted to do one also. It was so gorgeous!

I painted mine in yellows, reds, oranges, browns, and Tim Holtz stains, copper and silver. I painted the leaves and bird in red, orange, and yellow and used Stickles in gold and red on them. I also used red Stickles on the berries. It holds 8"x8" pages. I cut cardstock in different colors to fit the sleeves to coordinate with the months.

After an hour of searching for free calendar printables online in size 6"x6" with no luck, I decided to give up and wait till tomorrow. I might cave and buy the one I saw on Etsy. Definitely will save me a lot of time and a headache.

September is almost over but it's the month I'm starting with being the challenge ends on the 30th.  I'm going to layer and decorate each month in colors and holiday embellishments that coordinates together.

Here's pics of what I've completed so far.

Thanks for reading and Happy Crafting!

Tin Can Toothbrush Holders...His and Hers For Autumn!

Today I'm sharing with you a small project I made for the bathroom. Being on a shoestring budget gets the creative juices flowing. I incorporated ordinary household items along with what's in my craft stash in this project.

So, today I'll show you how I made the his and hers toothbrush holders. What makes my different from the others is I use a plastic water bottle inside the tin can. It can be washed or switched out with another one once the bottom gets dirty. 

Supply List: 

1. Tin Cans Any Size

2. Tape or Glue

3. Decorative Paper

4. Embellishments

5. 20 oz Plastic Water or Soda Bottle

6. Scissors or Paper Cutter

7. Ruler or Measuring Tape

8. Markers, Pen, or Something To Write With

Total Time To Make:

Less than 15 minutes.

I know you can go buy a toothbrush holder fairly cheap. Sometimes it's not convenient or in my case just don't have the extra money. On the bright side, I'm recycling and helping the environment. Also, I get to decorate for the season and personalize both at the same time.

Thanks for reading and remember "to squeeze out that creative juice." Whether it's a new idea or a twist on an old idea, just make something! 

XOXOXO. Dawn
