DIY Calender

What you need:

• One frame (size depends on preference)
• 4 greeting cards
• tape or glue
• a dry erase marker
• alphabet stickers

This project is so easy and makes organizing a cinch! Just glue down the 4 greeting cards and add letter stickers to each day, you can write out the whole day of the week or just the first initial. Next, place cards in frame as you would a photo and viola! You are now on the track to a new organized you!

Homemade Cards

These cards were so much fun to make!  All I did was buy some blank cards with fun decorations and added stickers that I found in the scrapbooking section of Michaels. Believe it or not, the blue and white ribbon tape that I used on the bottom of two of the cards was from the Dollar Tree! These were cheap and fun and are easy enough to be made by children too!

Cheap & Chic Candle Stand

This candle stand adds pizazz to your favorite candle and is so easy to make. I found a piece of white lace scrap paper that I loved at Michaels and knew that I would use it somewhere. I ended up putting it in this old frame that I had laying around and ta-da! This DIY took under a minute to make and cost almost nothing. Now that's Simply Creative!

Scrapbook Art

This DIY project was easy and cheap! I got two frames from The Christmas Tree Shop for $3 each, 2 pieces of scrapbook paper from Michaels (.10 each), and some scrapbooking stickers also from Michaels and made these collages.

 I made these for my boyfriend's "game room", but they would work great in a kids play room or bedroom with their favorite sports or hobby as the theme. Try out different stickers and have fun with it!

DIY: Birthday Card in a Picture Frame 

I've been really into "DIYing" lately. I think it may be correlated with my Pinterest addiction, but I am not ready to admit that I have an addiction despite what friends say....Anyways, I found this card that I got from my aunt for my birthday last month and loved the beading, so I threw it in a frame and voila! a DIY project for my room!

Chickpea Burger with Goat Cheese

I found this chickpea burger at Wegmans and fell in love! After heating the burger on medium over the stove, I melted a little goat cheese on top, placed it over some greens, drizzled a little EVOO onto the burger, and I was in Heaven! Best part? This dish took less than 10 minutes to make!
