Meet My Step Sister, Abbie

So, as you know...I'm awful at posting lately. Between school, work, homework, and everything else life throws at me, I just haven't had much time to craft. It's been really depressing for me. But, things are slowly (but surely) getting less busy and I hope to be posting more regularly soon. (Do I pretty much say that every post?)...Anyway, today I'm letting my step sister, Abbie post on my blog. I thought you guys would LOVE her (I do) because she's a really good crafter. Hopefully she doesn't completely show me up every week. Here she is.

Hello Oops, I Crafted My Pants readers! I'm Abbie and I'm really excited to be hanging out in Erika's neck of the woods today. She's the best, I tell you, the BEST!

So, I've been playing with the idea of creating a craft blog, but I wasn't sure if I should do it or not. I post a lot of my crafts on my blog, but I wanted a place where I could just focus on things I've made. Anyway, I was chatting with Erika about my blog dilemma and she said I could post here every Wednesday! Deal! Just another reason to love that girl!

Here's my first official craft on Oops, I Crafted My Pants Off! Hope you enjoy!

The Super Girlie toy box:

How I did it:

1. Buy Mala toy box from IKEA
2. 2 layers of paint on edges. I used Peony Pink - American brand. Love this color. So girlie and bright.
3. Mod Podge on top of paint to seal it.
4. Cut Perm Teal Lace cardstock (KI Memories brand) to fit, then (matte) Mod Podge it to the lid and sides.
5. One more layer of Mod Podge on top of cardstock.
6. Seal the cardstock with Hard Coat Mod Podge (so stinky, but non-toxic!).

See you next Wednesday!
