Artsy Fartsy

You know those days when you just feel so inspired and relaxed that you practically fart art? Okay, maybe not fart, but I like those words. Art Fart. Fart Art. Artsy Fartsy. Fartsy Artsy. Ha, I'm cracking myself up here. Anyway, just some stuff I made:

Accordion circles--yep, I googled 'em, that's what they are called. I've been seeing them allover pinterest and allover the scrapbooking blogs I always go to, and I thought they were cute. So I grabbed the left over pages from the repurposed books and made these accordion circes. Then I grabbed some left over paper, stamped them with doilies, put them in the middle, and put a small plastic gemstone right at the middle. They came out quite nicely, if I do say so. They're lovely for scrapbooking, packaging, table runners, or even one's hair, as my brother suggested.

These are the other things I did today. Upper left corner, I decoupaged a matchbox and stamped it with a pretty key. Yes, I know, this is probably one of the most useless things I've ever done, but I don't know, I find it pretty. I'm thinking, I'll slap some encouraging words inside to make it a little more useful, since I love them matchboxes so much.

Upper right corner, I made some travel-themed envelopes. I opened a random envelope, traced it onto old maps I found lying around, then cut them up and folded them. Then I grabbed some of my colorful memo pad and slipped them in to make envelope liners. They lacked a little ooomph, so I stamped them with a cute little airplane inside. Great for travel-themed parties.

Okay, you already saw the accordion circles, and now the unusually colorful paper bag:


Tada! <3 Love 'em art-farting days. <3 I hope to have one everyday, but then again, if I have one everyday, I'd probably die of starvation, as I'd never go out to find work that actually pays me enough. :P
