New Upcycle Ideas 704
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Greetings!
This past week I’ve been hunkered down in my photo studio attempting to beat the sunset. The shorter days sure keep one in line if you totally rely on daylight for your photography! I think it’s time to invest in some photography lights to see if that helps. Any suggestions?

Regardless, I managed to get a post up that shares how to create the cutest luggage look on any plank, drawer front, crates, or otherwise! This tutorial shares a great video on how to use the stencil kits, with more Christmas themed ideas to come!
I also created two new Christmas tree porch signs with some very funky results! I’ll be posting about them next week, however if you’d like a peek now, I’ve uploaded them into the stencil store under Christmas Tree Seedling stencil HERE. The one with hand painted detailing looks so nostalgic to me and made me feel like an artist of paintings heading to a gallery! That was unexpected. Can’t wait to share more!
So until then, let’s get super inspired with these fabulous upcycled features from last week’s party… you just wait!
