The Canister Box Template Tutorial

Happy {i}NSD!! (That would be “Happy {inter}National Scrapbooking Day” for all you non-scrapping-obsessed types.)
I believe the really REAL {i}NSD is on May 1st, but we like to celebrate early and often at The Digichick. I can’t even believe all of the amazing sales that will be going on this entire month as The Digichick celebrates both {i}NSD and our 5th Birthday!! In the life of digi-scrap stores, that is a LONG time. In fact, The Digichick is one of the oldest and most established digital scrapbooking stores on the internet, …

Patching Jeans – My No-Sew Method

I have two boys. They are so very precious to me. AND, they run through their clothes like it is nobody’s business. We have now reached the stage (4T) where Cole is unable to use any of Grant’s hand-me-down pants because Grant put so many holes in his pants that they are uninhabitable. My little animals.
However, I have found a solution! I can patch them up! NO, not THAT kind of patch. Not the embarassing, darker-colored iron-on “look at the place where there once was a hole ’cause my momma’s …

The Mini Mailbox Tutorial

I am very excited about one of my newest templates, which was created at the request of one of the designers at The Digichick. See, every Valentine’s Day, mini mailboxes start showing up in the dollar section of Target, and there is always a mad dash to go grab them for pretty hybrid projects. However, for some, a trip to Target would require loading children into the car and driving great distances. It might even require a hop on the airplane! So, I created a mailbox template …

Free Envelope Template and a Tutorial!

As I’ve mentioned before, we went to the cash system endorsed by Dave Ramsey not too long ago. We literally froze our credit cards (in a cup of water in the freezer) and started to pay cash for everything that wasn’t a regular bill (which I pay online). I spent the first month or so figuring out how we were going to make it work for us. I used a plastic accordion coupon organizer that I already had, and stuffed plain, standard sized envelopes inside of it. Each envelope contained …

Frugal hostess gift using coupon scores!

Hopefully you guys won’t think I am the CHEAPEST person in the world. I prefer the term “frugal”. Hee, hee!
Okay, so a couple of weekends ago we went up to Washington to visit with some of my family. I was looking for a last minute, totally frugal Christmas gift, and searched through my fully stocked pantry. (New readers: I’m a crazy coupon lady.) Remember all of the photos of the brownie mixes that I picked up for practically free back in September? And, have you noticed that I have been …
