My 'Burn Book'

Do you ever feel like your head is so filled with ideas that if you don’t get them down on paper you’re going to descend into madness? Yeah, I’ve been feeling like that a lot lately. Usually writing in my journal or scribbling in my notebook is enough the calm my brain down, but during the past few weeks I’ve felt like I need more than just words to get my thoughts out there. I want, no need, to draw, collage an paint. Having no designated space yet for my doodles and other imaginary figments, like the notebook/journal I keep for my writing, I decided to create one with some gel-pens and weird stickers.

DIY: Wall Decor from Old Magazines



I love magazines. I love looking at gorgeous fashion shoots, reading witty columns and finding out about Taylor Swift’s  latest fling (guilty pleasure!). Unfortunately, this love has led to the creation of a massive pile in my already small room  of Cosmos and ELLEs, some of which date over two years back. Since I couldn’t get myself to throw them all out, I decided to come up with a ‘creative’ solution; DIY’ing that pile away! I realized that my magazines could be used to make a really simple, but cute wall decoration. And it doesn’t end there. This really easy technique can be used to decorate cards, notebooks and even picture frames – so I can put that whole pile to good use!
