Easy DIY Patterned Wall Art

paperwallart_main2

I love the idea of adding splashes of color and pattern to rooms through DIY wall art that is easy to create and even easier to switch out on a whim. Plus, you can take advantage of scrap material, end cuts of fabric, left over wallpaper and scrapbooking paper designs that you adore! From framed paper (upper left) to fabric ‘upholstered’ blank canvases (upper right), to wallpaper cutouts applied with glue (next page) and repeating pattern designs (next page), the possibilities are endless — and the price tag, very low!

Ohhh Chocolatey Delicious-ness!

Red Velvet Cake Balls... Heavenly Dessert!

These heavenly red velvet cake balls are just what the doctor ordered… I found these while searching for something that is both chocolatey and finger food-ish, so that my guests could manage a delicious dessert with just a napkin instead of balancing a slice of cake in one hand, a fork and drink in the other. Sounds messy… sure, but that’s okay! It’s definitely well worth it and an excellent substitute to cupcakes. For the recipe, check out Bakerella or Continue reading
