BFF Open House Link Party


Hi all and Happy Friday Eve. Wishing all of the Dads of my followers ( some of whom are themselves Dads) a very Happy Father's Day weekend! 

Let's see some ideas from last week's party before we get our party on. 


Let's start with this amazing jewelry box makeover by Doreen from The Altered Flea. I love how she lined the inside to coordinate with the outside. No wonder she says these altered jewelry boxes are her latest obsession! 


Speaking of re-purposing , check out this very cool DIY Wooden Pallet Planter from the ladies at The Perfect Storm.  Love. 


If you're looking for a dessert for the special Dad in your life, you can't go wrong with these Turtle Parfaits from A Sprinkle of Joy. YUM! 

Now on to this week's party!

"Dreams Are Born" Printable...Free Boho Style Goodies


Happy Monday ( said few people,  if anyone,  ever). One great thing about Mondays is that means it's time for 6 new sets of FREE digital goodies from Creative Market!  

If you're finishing up any Father's Day gifts, this Boho Style set is perfect! Lots of arrows, feathers, etc. that you can use for printables, tee shirts, vinyl, whatever you can think of!  I used this set to create the above graphic. I also made a printable for you using a quote from "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie. 


Enjoy!

BFF Open House Link Party

Happy Friday Eve all! Hope you've had a great first week of June. I'm sure the past and next couple of weeks are big "last day of school" weeks for everyone, even for us grad school parents. 

Here are some great ideas from last week's party. 

Stephanie from Somewhat Simple has a great roundup of Father's Day gifts. If you can't find an idea there, I'm not sure it exists!


Lindsey from Repurpose and Upcycle has a wonderful image transfer tutorial for a custom ordered Farmhouse Sign. Farmhouse decor is so popular right now and being able to customize what you want in your sign is perfect. 


Tassels are another thing I'm seeing everywhere. Decor, jewelry, clothes. Leslie from From Playdates to Parties has an easy tutorial to make your own for far less than you'd spend at the store. 



Finally, one of my never ending bucket list of things to master is to make pretty cakes like this awesome Unicorn Cake from Bird's Party


Now, on to this week's party! Thanks for coming :)

Maybe I Should Change My Blog Name To The Answer Is Coffee? Printables!


Or, maybe I should change it to "The Answer Is Mochas" to be even more specific! If you read my posts, you know I don't get through the day without them!

Imagine my absolute joy when this week's freebies from Creative Market  included another of my absolute favorites, hand lettering, combined with another favorite,  FREE all rolled into one downloadable set of Hand Lettered Coffee Quotes !

  • Coffee? Check
  • Hand Lettering? Check
  • Free? Check


What's not to be happy about? I'm happier than  me with a mocha.  Seriously if you are on the lookout for fonts and digital images you need to bookmark Creative Market and every Monday they release 6 new items for .... you guessed it FREE. 


In this set you get all of these hand lettered quotes. Aren't they great? You also get them in black on a white background ( plus more). I broke these apart so I could use them individually and make you things like the above "Coffee Coffee Coffee" printable that's sized 8x10 when brought to full resolution.  I also made it in the reverse: 



There's a great chalkboard background that also comes with this set so of course I had to play with it! 

Update: After I posted this one, I noticed that "of" should be "for" . Since I can't edit it, I plopped a little heart over it. 




and



Needless to say, the possibilities are endless. Go get these and hope you like these printables!

BFF Open House Link Party


Happy Friday Jr. / Friday Eve and Happy June! How on earth is it June? Thanks for hanging with me and understanding the lack of features last week. Month end craziness at work just ate my brain. 

These features are from last week's party and the party the week before. 


First up is this gorgeous thrift store makeover from Raven Would. Love what Kileen did with this down to the casters she added and the shabby chic finish. 


With Graduation season upon us, My Busy Beehives has got some elegant printables perfect for any Grad! 


Who doesn't love an Ikea Hack? I love seeing the creative ways people make their stuff (already so cool) even more amazing. Sara from Find It Fix It or Build It has 23 Ikea Hacks for you!


 Finally, what better way to end the week / start the weekend than with a batch of these Sour Cream Double Chocolate Chip Cookies! Visit Crazy About Expresso for the recipe! 

Now, on to this week's party!

Saturday Wine Humor



This week's party continues here.

My BFF sent a hilarious quote to me this week and it was serendipitous that Designbundles.net had the perfect set of graphics to go with it as their freebie of the week . You might say they were the perfect pairing, so I made this printable with her in mind. 

It's a great collection of wine themed graphics but it's only free to download for 5 more days! 


To save, click on image to bring to full resolution, right click to Save As, download. It's sized 8x10
