Yellow Week - packaging:

Packaging with yellow is really a lot of fun because it involves such a happy and sunny color! Who else out there likes packaging? I know there are a lot of you ;) This packaging is all very simple - I just used lace, twine, stickers, tags, kraft bags, and vintage wallpaper!

All the packaging goods, ready to go.

Stamped a star burst sticker with the date.

Typed a little message on the kraft star burst..

Used a little button to add on the ribbon.

Just used a starburst label and layered different sheets of paper.

Used vintage wallpaper to wrap the box.

Tied it with kraft jute string and attached a wood gift tag!

That's it! Super fun, super easy! :)

Yellow Week - Free downloads:

So I thought it'd be fun to include some free downloads for yellow week. I made 2 desktop backgrounds, they're just general ones, no calendar included. Sometimes with the calendar, I'll realize I haven't changed my desktop background and I'm 2 months behind or something, so I think perhaps general desktop backgrounds are nice to have once in a while... especially if you don't want to be reminded how fast time is passing by ;) Hope you enjoy these special yellow-week downloads!

Yellow Week - Easy Jar DIY:

There are lots of fun possibilities with jars, so I made up a few quick jar crafts. While I love crafting, I'm definitely all about quick & easy to do crafts. Time is important and seems to be flying by before my eyes, I can't really afford to spend 3 hours on a diy craft, you know what I mean? Hope you like these ;)

For S'mores-in-a-jar you'll need:

- jar (I bought mine from specialty bottle)

- kraft paper (I used a paper bag)

- smore ingredients: graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate

- ribbon & rubberband

Place s'more items in jar.

Cut kraft paper into a square and place over the lid of the jar.

Use rubber band to hold paper over the cover.

I placed a little label on the top.

Tie with ribbon/lace/twine. Or you could just leave the rubber band!

I thought this jar idea was fun: just gather some various treasures and make a little gift!

(I used: whistle charm, typewriter key, old key, spool of twine, pocket watch, magnets)

Placed some paper lace adhesive on the bottom of the findings jar.

Then spray painted the jar top with chalkboard paint..

For this jar, I found some alphabet stamps and placed a yellow decal on the jar.

(decal from the pop-up shop)

You can also use yarn and just wrap it around the jar.

That's it! :) Any other ideas for things you can put in jars?
