Free Printable GeoBall DIY Box for your desk from ZÜ

Don't you just love it!!! Im going to be printing mine as soon as Im happy with the weight of my card stock ^_^ basically... -------- is the cut line and the pink dot is the sticking part. So you cut along the dotty line and you glue up the white parts to the other part where you just cut. If that makes sense lol. if you cut beside No5. you glue the no 5 panel to the peachy panel beside it. 

Download from Zu's Original Post  There are photos on this post to help with the cutting folding and glueing! I half explained it because it's in french but the pictures will help ^_^

Lots of love Claire xo

Sprinkles Cake Party Inspiration from SweetPeaLolita

It's almost June... and then it will be july.. and that means Birthdays a go go! I think there are 5 in July I get involved in! On of them being my own ^_^ Cake me up folks cake me up. I absolutely love the styling of these photographs let along all the sprinkles. Make me so excited! The simple addition of curly ribbon at the bottom just adds texture and another dimension to the image which is just fabulous. Not to mention the fact the cake just looks incredible. 

I just love it all ^_^ I would definitely appreciate a cake like this. Hint hint wink wink everyone! Although last year on the blog I had mentioned my love for  a Victoria Sponge and I ended up getting three lol. Thats not even a joke. Cake for breakfast for about two weeks after my birthday. Fattys ^_^

This cake looks so precise with all its layers! I'd actually love to know if thats a flavoured buttercream cuz if it is i might die. 

Im going to go back to Sweet Pea Loltia and check out the info ^_^ you should too but you might get hungry :p

Keeping A Visual Journal Using an Old Hardback Book | Advice and Tips from How Does She

I was so pleased to find this fabulous article via Pinterest. Some of you lovelies may have noticed that my 'journalling' posts fell by the way side in previous months, well I blogged about that a few weeks ago that I was grieving for my Cat who I had for 16 years that we had to put down which was very sad indeed and I just couldn't find the motivation to journal about things that were going on. Now Im back to being inspired again and itching to get journalling. Im going to blame the weather ^_^ 

This article was created by the lovely Cristi of Weeds to wishes blog and is currently suffering from a horrendous loss and my heart goes out to her. Such a beautiful inspiring lady and I hope she gets back to full health soon. Throughout her article she explains the things you need, like my favourite item - Gesso, to make a vintage book your own personal journal. 

Colour Palette Love | Gorgeous Food Styling From Emilie Griotte for Decor8

I absolutely love Emilie Griottes feature section on Decor8 blog and of course as soon as I saw this post I had to share! All of my favourite colours in one shot ^_^

Such beautiful photographs and instructions on how to create your own colourful meringues! I wouldn't want to eat these meringues, even looking at them reminds me how much the sugar in meringues makes my teeth feel funny! It amazes me how food bloggers aren't the size of houses ^_^

These look stunning! I think I would prefer them as decor :p

My Ikea Sideboard Turned Desk Space and Organized Decoupage Breadbin Storage

Please excuse the terrible quality of images! These were taken in a very dark room as it faces north and it was via my phone. Suprizingly enough my phone copes with the low light images better that my digital cameras! They get far too grainy. Anywho I digress!! A while ago I created this post about pull out tables in a kitchen area that I thought would be a great idea for the tiny space in my craft room. Although Im on a tiny budget! So i went to the ikea site. I discovered the Lyckhem Occaisonal table which is originally meant for a dining room sideboard I think but the measurements turned out to be perfect. Just a little deeper than the billy bookcase that was there before so not taking up too much room.. nice and tall for me because Im very tall and also have back problems so when I sit i need my knees to be lower than my bum.. so so so... it all worked out lovely. I attached the measuring tape to the front too which is incredibly useful! I bought a bar stool from Ikea too but before I did that I had done my maths regarding heights so its perfect. The cat has taken to sleeping on the chair though because it sits just above the radiator... its her new favourite spot! 

Crochet and Interior Inspiration from Norway | I love Stina Ballerina!

Look at all the pretty colours in this bright white kitchen! I love the vintage book pages. I must keep an eye out for floral illustrations in books. I love this kitchen ^_^ 

And look at all that lovely washi tape on an 'inspiration' wall! Great if you don't have a cork board to store your inspiration. I also think that is wood; be careful if you're sticking directly on to paint. It can take the paint/plaster with it when its being removed unless you heat it quickly with a hair dryer or embossing heat gun thing. 

The wall decor in that bedroom is absolutely gorgeous and I love the colour of the table! Last year I went crazy for the Ikea yellow polka dot bedding that was available and I was wide awake for about 3 weeks haha! O_O Be very careful with bright stimulating colours in a bedroom! 

Party Inspiration | Tassle Garlands from Confetti System

I looooove these colours! Especially for the summer time! I love it. They cost a fair bit but Confetti System are fabulous with their creations. Not just garlands... 

But I think this is gorgeous for winter time ^_6

Look at the styling project they did for lanvin! With all those pom poms. Gorgeous colours and the centre is yellow to actually make them look like giant flowers. Fabulous! Gorgeous colours too ^_^

I love this! it looks like a sparkler!!! Confetti system have the most fabulous projects, window displays, set design.. you name it... tissue paper and sparkly lovelies a go go!

Colourful Craft Room And Interior Decor from Anrinko Blog

I saw this image on a random tumblr post, which of course had no original source (grr) so it took a few hours but I found it!!! I don't fully understand why I have so much patience when it comes to finding something I want lol... I used to be an image researcher so I can find almost anything on the inter web if I put my mind to it! Took me 2 hours to find a folder from Korea that I wanted too :p who knows why... anyway! I digress! I LOVE the colours of this wall unit and I want it! I would also spend an absolute fortune on fancy knobs for it!! I also am totally in love with this ribbon collection. 

What a beautiful shot! Love this ribbon ^_^ Ive asked before but I will ask again! What do you use ribbon with? 

Look at this craft room and sewing table!!! I love those machines... Im so jealous. I also love those woven baskets on the bookshelf. 

Summer Vacation Dreaming | A Beach Hut Caravan Company

It cannot be helped.... the weather is such that Im dreaming of sunshine and beachy sands. Despite always hating sand cuz it got everywhere... lol but I was so happy when I found this Beach Hut Caravan Company in the UK. Unfortunately nothing of the sort in Ireland but I still love it. And yes I did mean Summer Holiday Inspiration! I love that radio too and gorgeous coastal themed interiors. 

I love the colours of the caravan and its only tiny! 

Just look at those coastal colours! Decorated to the highest standards. I love the colours of the cushion/sofa pads. And beautiful stripy clarke and clarke fabric. The colours are fabulous for this Caravan Companys little rental lovelies.
