DIY Love: Secret Storage Books

Storage.

That is always a problem for me.
I have tons of stuff. Magazines, scrapbooking materials, craft supplies and I swear they seem to grow in size on it's own. Like a little monster in my cupboards.

Storing things away neatly to reduce the unsightly clutter and also for easy usage just makes sense but it is not always an easy thing to do.

I'd hate to have big plastic crates all stacked up in the corner of my room because well it's just plain ugly. Therefore I am forever on the quest to find pretty yet practical storage solutions that doesn't bust my piggy bank.

Here's one great idea I found on Design*Sponge



Brenna's Secret Storage Books!
Just the name itself sounds fun. Like those books you used to see in the movies where people would use to hide money or treasure in. It also reminds me of the decorated boxes I gave my best gal pals for Christmas.

It looks really easy to make and you can easily label and store craft items in them. Or make it as a letter writing kit to give to friends. People don't write enough letters nowadays and it's always nice to get snail mail.

Check out how to make them here!

Love: Pretty packaging inspiration


Totally loving this to-die-for packaging from oh hello friend, one of my favourite blogs. 


It's exactly what I want to do for my invites.

images from here

I'm designing my invites to resemble vintage postcards. There'll be 3 pages to be tied up with twine and I'll put them into kraft paper bags stamped with our monogram. Included in the package will also be a handmade cherry blossom themed magnet in a vellum mini envelope, so that our guests can immediately put up our invite up on the fridge or memo board. Glee!

My obstacles now would be to find a reasonably priced printer and also affordable supplies for printing our invites and secondly I'm praying that my in-laws would be ok with my ideas. It's very different from the traditional red invites or those with double happiness embossed all over. I'm not very fond of that. Your invites are the first impression your guests gets of what your wedding would be like and I want them to reflect our style and be fun and unique. I am very afraid they might not like this at all and insist on the traditional ones instead. *crosses fingers*
