Grey and Yellow

For real. This color combo is GORGEOUS! I am so glad I am not rich enough to have my own home because I would have redesigned the whole thing ten times in the last month. Playing with colors is one of my fave things to do, and I am pretty stuck on grey and yellow right now. Charcoal or cloudy day grey with either mustardy or bright yellow- it doesn't matter which if either you play up, the combo looks timeless and classy no matter what!
thank you LOVE IT!

Why don't you...

Show a little team spirit


so here's the deal-
I am in the middle of trying to find my game day jersey (where did you go old friend??)
& trying to find a suitable, cute, comfy, breezy replacement for said jersey.

In the mean time, I had nothing to wear for crimson and grey Friday.
here's my clever little solution...

*Yeah, I could have a taken a better picture, I could have not wiggled my thumb, but whatevs, this is what I got this try

To achieve this look I sprinkled a little crimson and a little silver glitter together onto an index card. Then I did a sort of "dry brush" technique with some clear nail polish or top coat, let that set a second so you don't big weird clumps of glitter (unless that's what you are going for) and then sprinkle the pre-poured glitter onto your nails. Then cover with another coat or two of clear coat, and enjoy!

Just a fun little project


Have you used freezer paper stencils before?
Well, I just think they are super fun, and you can do SO much with them.

Check out my newest freezer paper project


I am toying with whether or not this baby should make it's way over to my etsy shop, or stay adorning the desk of the craft room.
Where would you put it?
