Facebook and Social Media are taking over the world…literally. I feel like it is okay to poke some fun every once in awhile at the media platform that has people checking in every ten minutes and as some call it “Facebook Stalking” their friends. Today’s card is just that. Inspired by the wonderful feeling you get when you receive a card in the mail and poking fun at our society’s dependence on email today. Oh, and by the way, this is not to say that I or we are above any of that! Don’t forget to become a fan of the BeaOriginal page on Facebook! Thanks for reading!

It’s back to school time! Which means aisles of pencils, erasers, glue, scissors, and best of all (the highlight of today) those plastic, snap-close pencil cases. My brother was doing some cleaning and passed along one of these pencil cases to me last weekend, this weekend I headed over to Target where they were on clearance for 50 cents a piece (I grabbed 4 for $2.00!).
These pencil cases are so versatile. I think they are perfect for tools that have multiple attachments or specific accessories that go along with them. For example: I recently purchased an Imaginisce i-Top brad maker. This tool has an extra attachment to create larger brads, and I have packages of the brads to keep with them. The plastic pencil case fits the tool, it’s accessory, and the supplies all together. Now when I want to use this tool I can just grab it off the shelf and have everything I need in front of me. I love ideas like this that make it easy to find a tool exactly when you need it.
You can really use these cases for anything: embossing markers, stamps, stamp pads, stickers, embossing folders. Check the newspaper ads to see who has them on sale and then go pick up a few! I bet you will head back for more in no time! Thanks for reading.

My sister asked me to make a card this week for her niece’s upcoming birthday, so today she was my inspiration. Laura is very into princess’, like several young girls I know, so I used this crown off the Happily Ever After cartridge for the Provocraft Cricut. I love using layering as a way for items to stand out, it provides extra emphasis.
I used dimensional foam to raise the crown off the surface. The jewels I used are actually small, self-adhering jewels created to ‘bedazzle’ a phone. I have found them at WalMart and more recently at Big Lots. The corner embellishments are off of the Jasmine Cricut cartridge. This card turned out so cute, I think it may have inspired me to make a banner with the same theme! Thanks for reading!

Little ones have started gallivanting off to school and you know what that means? About once a week your little one will come cruising home with chocolate cupcake remnants on their face from a classmate’s birthday party. So when it comes time for your little one’s birthday, what will you do with those extra baking cups?
This week’s around the house puts a metallic baking cup to use on card for a “Dear Friend.” This card is relatively simple in design and took me no time at all to make. First just using my fingers I smoothed out the baking cup flat, and cut it in half. Then using my Provocraft Cuttlebug and a paisley embossing folder, I embossed the baking cup. The paper and ribbon are both scraps that I had lying around. It’s a little bit of a different color palette, but I ended up really liking the combination of the olive green and bright blue. The stamp is from Studio G. A baking cup and a few minutes of your time is well worth it for this special card! Thanks for reading.

I have a special treat for those of you as enthralled with the ‘green’ movement as I am! If you are looking for ways to reduce your litter at lunch time, ElizabethJennings has some surprising products that will do the trick. This shop offers some really unique sandwich and snack reusable bags.
Each product has a hook and loop enclosure to keep that delicious turkey sandwich tucked safely inside or keep your rice crackers from spilling all over your backpack/purse. They are offered in two sizes: sandwich or snack sized and mini sized. Save yourself some money and save the earth some plastic by buying these for your kids to take to school! They already have to bring their lunch pales home, may as well have them bring the sandwich and snack holder home as well. Plus you will save money by not having to buy plastic sandwich and snack baggies.
This products are great, and very environmentally conscious. To visit ElizabethJennings you can click here, or on the photos below. Keep up the great work ElizabethJennings, we can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
