This is the Spring 2016 project, actually that digressed into a whole new theme on its own --- crazy heart of mine --- I was gathering stuff for a spring-y, flowery bouquet type Adventure Board with burlap and flowers like last year's but I ended up doing a 'WRITER'S BEST KEPT SECRETS' vintage theme.
The background paper was scrapbook paper. I happen to have a Once Upon A Time Mat Stack book that has some really good vintage storybook text prints. And of course there were fairylights to complete the fairytale.
I took the opportunity to put up some jewelry items i.e. necklaces up on the board to go with the theme alongside burlap clip on flowers and butterflies from last year's Spring Adventure Board.
I always launch myself into hoarder mode when ornaments come up on shelves each winter. I had a beautiful lamp, and a vintage key to add to this ensemble.
The dreamcatcher had its moment of glory alongside the burlap butterflies and flowers. This beautiful vintage ensemble is coming off soon insha'Allah to prep the board for Ramadan Adventures. I am thinking lanterns, crescent moons, Moroccan lattice, and lots of printed graphics. Until next time ---
I admire everybody who has the mood and endurance for crafting. I love cooking and baking but it's done with that. Your adventure board looks nice. Looking forward the Ramadan board.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had posted a reply via my iPhone and ta-da it never got posted! My apologies. Thanks for liking my adventure board. I am almost there with the Ramadan board.
DeleteIt is so alluring....especially that key ..and Loved the idea of having a Ramadan board..as it will be much easy to put daily ayahs..activities or ahadith on that ..board..gud luck for Ramadan board...
ReplyDeleteSuper happy you liked it. The key has got to be my fav as well. I randomly found it at AC Moore - a crafts store - and it was for a Dollar so I thought I had hit jackpot! Yes! I am so excited about the Ramadan board!
DeleteI really enjoy doing these kinds of things at home with the things already available at home but now since I am a mum, I am facing time constraints. Also, he is too active Masha Allah so I can't do it when he is awake. This looks FAB! Love it.

Ooooo! I feel you! I have an 18 months old niece. She is a very intellectual kid who doesn't stampede over and destroy things but she definitely wants to touch and pickup everything and put it to use! super thanks for liking!
DeleteOh am loving that adventure board! It looks great. Have to admit I have never done anything like this......I lack any form of creativity! Looking forward to seeing your ramadan board
ReplyDeleteI refuse to believe you lack creativity! Period! Super thanks! Ramadan board is reaching final stages InshaAllah
DeleteAwesome...I like to see your craft work.I am fond of making creative craft projects but I can never do like this..please share some Ramadan and Eid crafts or give links...if you have already shared...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Join me on my second blog https://sisterly-yours.blogspot.com/ where I am going to start daily Ramadan Diaries InshaAllah. Lots of crafts and awesomeness there!
DeleteOmg! I love this. Girl, you are so creative! This is something I don't have the mind to even think of doing. Whenever I go to the local arts and crafts store here in the States, I'm always flabbergasted by how much stuff they had I never knew of. As an aside, I finally have my plot for Petunia, the purple polka dotted cow!
ReplyDeleteThat adorable purple polka dotted fellow has a name! Petunia! Love it! Thanks so much for the wonderful words. I am learning!
DeleteWow! This is so beautiful! I love the addition of jewelry and hanging ornaments. Looking forward to seeing what you create for Ramadan.
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean! I always stay on the lookout for ornaments during christmas and I use them all year round. I have glittery crescents planned for Ramadan inshaAllah
DeleteThis looks sooo cute! I wish I had more space to do something like this hmm gives me an idea to revamp my room though :D
ReplyDeleteI have cramped everything up in little space my friend. Get a pinboard! It will be your own world believe me!
