washi tape discovery!

Posted on June 8, 2010April 25, 2011by Lisa

I made a new discovery today: washi tape – aka Japanese masking tape – makes great bows!  Just fold it in half so that the sticky sides are together, then tie away.  Yay! You already know about this?  Why didn’t you tell me?  :) A few more things — I love how washi tape is […]

Bird-day Bunting

Posted on March 18, 2010May 3, 2011by Lisa

There’s a big bunting craze going on all around blog-land, and I’ve been trying to find the time to sew some out of fabric — I think it would be super cute hanging from a shelf above my computer here in the office.  Then it hit me: why not use Japanese masking tape and make […]

Sometimes…

Posted on March 4, 2010April 25, 2011by Lisa

I’m not normally a fan of “red tape”, ha! But sometimes, just sometimes… Hee hee. It can be especially good when you get to go for a little bike ride for the first time in over three months after you’ve had ankle surgery, and you are wearing a jersey that someone designed that even has […]

  I made this little card for J and snuck it into his laptop bag.  He liked it! Japanese masking tape is all the rage these days — I got most of mine at Itoya when I was in Tokyo last fall — wish I could go back and load a suitcase full!  But this […]

Japanese masking tape == YUM.

Posted on October 13, 2009April 25, 2011by Lisa

I discovered Japanese masking tape a while back and have obsessed with it ever since!  So when we went to Japan I was on the lookout for more + I hit the jackpot… This tape is so cool — there are solids, patterns and different widths.  It has a pretty texture to it, and love […]

I love cloudy days.

Posted on May 14, 2009April 25, 2011by Lisa

Cloudy, grey days are really rare here in Central Texas, so I enjoy them whenever we get ’em!  I actually made this card yesterday (when it was sunny, as usual) but didn’t get to take a picture.  Woke up this morning and it was all cloudy and I thought “oh darn”.  But then I thought […]
