Project of the Day

I read that if you are in a funk you should do something creative every single day. Even if it is just looking at art or reading a book about art. So while I was in my "slump" I really tried to do this. I'm not in a slump any more and I'm excited about crafting again and the last few days I've been doing at least one project a day.



I refinished an old dresser that I am going to use for my scrapbook supplies. I'm redecorating every room in my house. I'm trying to learn to take better pictures. And I'm trying to make ordinary things spectacular.



I have been collecting Mystery Science Theater 3000 dvd's. My husband and I adore this old television series and I am determined to own all ten years worth of them.



I could just put them in any old cd binder but that was just too boring for me. I had an old Gateway computer that is in Pete's room now. It came with a small binder that was filled with recovery cd's. I thought it would be a great, cheap way to store my new collection. I wanted a space theme to go with the show theme but I didn't think I was going to be able to find anything in Fort Smith and I'm too impatient to wait for shipping. I decided to just use primary colors and maybe find a font online to help with decorating.



When I got to Hobby Lobby I found this!





















It's Cosmo Cricket. Which I LOVE. Go check out all their stuff right now.

(hint...Terry bought a bunch of Cosmo Cricket Christmas paper for her store)

I've seen this paper packet before and I wanted it. But my son isn't really into the robot/space thing. I didn't really know what to do with it. But how perfect is it for my project!

This is the final result.

Here is the front of the binder:

DVD labels. I wanted them all to match. SO anal sometimes I am...

















Last divider cover. Look at the aliens. They are an adorable font I got at some font site. It's an alien dingbat font. CUTE!!

















I'm thinking this would make an adorable little boy album. Make & Take, anyone?
