Personalized Desk Organizer
Although the end-of-school is here, I'm
looking forward to August when my new job as
Administrative Assistant/Nurse begins!
Of course I'm all ready thinking of ways to get my desk
organized, so I picked up a cute wooden storage tray at
my local Dollar General. I will take in a lot of things such as
lunch money, notes, medicine, etc., so I thought it
would be a good idea to label some sections of the tray:
I've used a lighter woodgrain paper from the DCWV "Gilded Paper Stack"
and used my computer and printer to print off the words onto it. The words
were cut out to the width and height of the dividers.
Next, I placed the 9" Double-Sided Laminate into the Xyron Creative Station:
Before closing the lid, just make sure that enough of the laminate has been
sandwiched between the rollers as shown above.
When the lid is closed, you should see the end of the laminate between the rollers.
Next, the three sections of paper were placed onto the tray and rolled through.
The 3" Permanent Adhesive was placed into the Xyron Creative Station Lite
and adhesive was applied to the backs of each laminated card. Really rub
the adhesive well before removing the paper backing to ensure that it is well adhered.
Now I have one little area of organization ready for the new school year!

Laminated Planner Pocket
Have a friend that loves all things "planner"?
The project that I'm sharing today would make a wonderful
gift for any planner lover or someone just starting out!
This sweet planner pocket is a compilation of wonderful products from
DCWV & XYRON
You can find the "DIY Project Pack: Mini Albums" online
The Stack is filled will all sorts of elements that can be cut out:
pockets, pages, tags, flags, tabs, pinwheels, icons and more!
After trimming out the large pocket, I ran the piece through the
that held the Xyron 9" Lamination Refill Cartridge
As noted in the top photo, the NEW Xyron Creative Station has the
capability of holding both 5" and 9" cartridges!
I trimmed away the laminate by using the edge of the pocket as a guide.
The sides and bottom of the pocket were then scored and folded.
Next, I used the Xyron Mega Runner 
to hold the sides together before machine stitching (I did this just to add texture & a whimsical flair).
to hold the sides together before machine stitching (I did this just to add texture & a whimsical flair).After cutting out all of the elements, I made several of them into 'stickers' by
running them through the Xyron 3" Sticker Maker
and then trimming away the adhesive sheet.
The front was embellished with a pocket that was stitched on, banners, owl motif
and the hand-assembled pinwheel...fun!
The inside of the pocket was generously filled with all of the components:
The paper stack includes vellum sheets as well!
I created two pockets, labeled and filled them with goodies.
Twine was added to the tops of the different tags so they're ready to use!
By using the Xyron Laminate to cover the pocket, it will provide an even safer
environment for storing the pieces until they're ready to use.
The recipient may decide to punch holes along one side of the pocket and
add it to their planner!
Stop by the Xyron Facebook Page to see even more unique products in
our exchange with DCWV over the next couple of weeks...enjoy :)

May Arts + DCWV + Tombow Blog Hop
Welcome to the final day of the
TRIPLE THREAT BLOG HOP
There are 3 prize packs up for grabs, to win -
comment on each blog & like our Facebook pages
- a stack from DCWV
- a spool of ribbon from May Arts
- Xtreme Adhesive, Power Tabs, Removable Adhesive and Fastener Tabs from Tombow
that I made for my daughter's room...she loves the chalk-art look!
To get started, I gathered my supplies:
Tombow's Xtreme Tape Runner, Glue Pen and Fastener Tabs;
DCWV's Chalk-Art Stack and May Art's Ribbon and Pom Pom Trim
The thing that I love most about crafting is improvising!
Nothing makes me happier (well, almost) than upcycling or recycling an item!
I rummaged around in my supplies and found a wooden crate-type box and an 8X10
flat canvas. The box wasn't quite as wide, so I trimmed the canvas down with a
heavy-duty box cutter.
.
Of course, you can purchase the canvas blocks and achieve the same look!
To the wooden slats on the sides of the crate, I added the Xtreme permanent adhesive.
Next, I cut some of the Chalk-Art paper into strips and adhered to the sides:
I wanted the texture of the canvas to show through, so I decided to paint it rather than
cover it entirely with paper. I gave it a coating of lime green and then cut one of the cute
Chalk-Art subway-art style prints out and adhered it with the Fastener Tabs.
I chose these tabs so that the subway art could be changed out with other pieces
that can be found on the same sheet!
I used the Tombow Glue Pen to add the small die-cut letters to the scroll shape.
A couple of small knotted ribbon was added to the sides of the scroll so that it
appears to be hanging from the chalkboard sign :)
I also trimmed the edge of the canvas with pom pom trim by May Arts.
Now it's all finished and ready for hanging or sitting on a shelf!

Xyron + DCWV
Happy Wednesday!
I have a new layout to share using
DCWV and XYRON
One of my favorite color combinations right now is coral and navy...
so you can imagine my delight when I received the "Coral and Navy Stack" by DCWV!
Aside from glittered and foiled papers, the Stack also includes some really cute
journal cards and fun icons that can be cut-out.
And because adding texture is so important to me, I included a large mat of off-white
woven paper from the Woven Stack. I've used the Xyron Mega Runner for adhering all
of the mats and photos. I added a trio of buttons to the one journal card and used the
Xyron Adhesive Dots for those.
Fussy cutting is so relaxing to me! To the top, I hand-cut a bunch of flowers from one
of the patterned papers, as well as the adorable scrolled clock motif :)
For those flowers that I stuck directly to the paper, I used an Adhesive Dot...I like
being able to fold up the edges of the flowers a bit so it looks as though they're just
laying there and not actually glued to the paper!
My daughter has a lot of navy and oranges in her closet, so I look forward to
scrappin' a lot more pages with this awesome Stack :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Not Xyron...But Should Be!
It's Day 2 of the
NOT XYRON, BUT SHOULD BE
Pinterest inspired collection of projects
**Visit Beth's Blog each day this week for a complete viewing of projects**
My inspiration piece came from Rebecca Cooper's Blog:
St Patrick's Day Bunting
Now, since St. Patrick's Day has all ready passed for this year, I decided to turn
my banner into a good luck charm
For the base of the banner, I used a burlap paper by DCWV and a 3.5"W X 4.5"H banner die
by My Favorite Things. Next, using my personal cutting machine and Cambria font, I cut
the lettering from a cream cardstock, ran each through the 3" Sticker Maker and then attached
to the center of each burlap panel. Three of the panel were embellished with a trio
of premade flocked shamrocks that I had on hand, and some felt flowers by Jillibean Soup.
I cut two 3" strips of green ribbon for each panel. I adhered a High Tack Adhesive Dot
to one end of the ribbon and then folded in half to form a loop.
The loops were then attached to the back of each panel with another
High Tack Adhesive Dot. Just be sure to keep the loops wide enough to accomodate
the ribbon that will be strung through for hanging.
I wanted a nice finish to the banner, so I die-cut a backing for each panel from
cream cardstock. I applied adhesive to one side of the die-cuts using the 9" Creative Station
and attached to the back of the burlap paper.
Thanks for joining me today with this Pinterest-Inspired-Creation!
