I've been a busy bee this last month over on my other site, <a href="http://www.wanderlustdesigner.com/" target="_blank">Wanderlust Designer</a>. I'm so excited to have many of my <a href="http://www.wanderlustdesigner.com/travel-sketches/" target="_blank">travel sketches and designs</a> I've been working on posted in one central location.<br />
<br />
This past year, besides designs and drawings of various locations I've traveled, I've been working on two different sketch series; <a href="http://www.wanderlustdesigner.com/travel-sketches/travel-sketch-series-eat-drink-travel/" target="_blank">"Eat Drink Travel" sketch series</a> and <a href="http://www.wanderlustdesigner.com/travel-sketches/travel-sketch-series-scenes-from/" target="_blank">"Scenes from..." sketch series</a>. Many of these illustrations have stories associated to them as well, like a story about drinking <a href="http://www.wanderlustdesigner.com/culture-turkish-coffee-in-istanbul/" target="_blank">Turkish coffee in Istanbul</a> and enjoying a <a href="http://www.wanderlustdesigner.com/culture-churrasco-in-rio-de-janeiro-brazil/" target="_blank">churrasco BBQ feast in Rio de Janeiro</a>.<br />

My brain has been on artsy overdrive lately. This summer, when I took a little time off, I rediscovered my artsy self. Ever since I've been full of ideas and can't stop drawing. I've been focusing mainly on my <a href="http://society6.com/wanderlustdesigner" target="_blank">travel sketches</a>, but every now and again add some other <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/bnuteproductions/gifts?cg=196038809254769102" target="_blank">whimsical drawings</a> in the mix. I've joined up with several different sketch-a-day (#sketchaday) efforts <a href="http://instagram.com/wanderlustdesigner" target="_blank">on Instagram</a>, including a 30 day sketch challenge in September and an <a href="http://mrjakeparker.com/inktober" target="_blank">#inktober drawing challenge</a> this October. I've even been taking a fabulous online storytelling sketch class from <a href="http://www.sketchbookskool.com/" target="_blank">Sketchbook Skool</a>.<br />
<br />
I must say, I've definitely been feeling a little scattered, though. My desires to continue to produce art has left my blogging in the dust. I did a little brainstorming this week and came up with a plan to help this nagging problem. I've decided to follow my passions, and do what I'm enjoying at the moment-- illustrations and design.<br />
<br />
What does this mean-- Well, you'll be seeing a lot more of my illustrations and drawings here on this blog. As with any thing, I'd love to hear your feedback.

There's nothing like an outdoor adventure! Tying up those hiking boots, filling up your canteen and headed out into the wilderness can be so exhilarating. My son and husband had a handful of camping adventures this summer. Sadly, I didn't make it out on one of them. Now that it's fall, though, and the weather is a bit cooler, I'm craving a little outdoor time!<br />
<br />
Drawing these essentials to an outdoor adventure has definitely inspired me. Perhaps if a full blown camping trip doesn't happen for me this fall, I should just head out into the backyard and camp under the stars.<br />
<br />
If you are an outdoor enthusiast, and/or love to camp, head over to my shop and pick up one of my <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/essentials_outdoor_adventure_camping_poster-228465194828453498" target="_blank">Outdoor Adventure posters</a> or <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/essentials_outdoor_adventure_camping_card-137448104838557284" target="_blank">some notecards</a> with these camping inspired drawings.

"Creativity makes life more fun." It's as simple as that!<br />
<br />
I've really been trying to step up my creative game lately-- doing more sketching, more drawing, more watercoloring, more creative projects - I've even picked up my dusty guitar to strum a few chords. I truly believe creativity makes my life more fun.<br />
<br />
To get you inspired, I've created a free printable quote. I had fun playing with type on top of one of the color abstracts I painted. After I printed it out, I put it in a simple 8x10 frame and put it on my desk. It's bright, cheery and the perfect reminder to greet me in the morning when I begin work. I hope you find it inspiring as well.<br />

I remember when my nephew was a dino-fanatic! He knew every dinosaur name, the time period in which they roamed the earth, their eating habits and much, much more. It's hard to believe he is now a senior in high school!<br />
<br />
Many kids go through a phase of loving dinosaurs. To capitalize on their inner-Paleontologist, why not throw them a dinosaur party! I had fun creating these rustic invitations and matching party goods. I challenged myself by hand drawing the dinosaurs, and then giving them a grungy, dino-texture. Below is a sample of the <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/bnuteproductions/dinosaur" target="_blank">invitation and matching party accessories</a> available for your party.<br />

I have a case of closet envy, and I have it bad! On the last leg of our Japan trip we were spoiled and stayed in the famed <a href="http://tokyo.peninsula.com/en/default" target="_blank">Peninsula Hotel, Tokyo</a>. Wow! When we were escorted to our room, I let out a few oo's and ahh's, but once the bellman had departed, I really started to drool! Ample space, wide halls, multiple rooms, great views, amenities at every turn. I was in heaven.<br />
<br />
Then I walked into the closet. That's when envy set in!<br />
<br />
Yes, there were no clothes in the closet, so of course it looked huge... but it wasn't just that. There was a place for everything and plenty of room too. There was even a sweet little dressing table with a mirror. (My 40+ year old eyesight now understands the beauty of these magnifying mirrors!)<br />
<br />
I instantly thought of my closet at home. It's actually a pretty decent size. It's not <a href="http://www.instyle.com/instyle/package/general/photos/0,,20804757_20522944_21045717,00.html" target="_blank">Kardashian sized</a> where you could fit a full boutique, but it's not tiny either. I've always loved it's late 1940's charm. It has 3 built in cubbies, and even sweet dressing table too. So why complain?<br />
<br />
Well, unfortunately, in my almost 10 years living in our wonderful home, I have never had a cleared off spot to actually sit at that dressing table and put on make up, let alone consistently find an outfit I am happy with and/or pick up that scarf or accessorizing purse to match. My closet is stuffed. Overrun with a bunch of so-so clothes. It's time for a serious operation-- time to extract the bad, get rid of the "just in-case" items and find those cute outfits lurking in the mix.<br />
<br />
I've been reading up on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_wardrobe" target="_blank">capsule wardrobes</a> and am very inspired. Have you read about it? The simple description is a paired down closet per season or few months time period. Some folks pair their wardrobe down to <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/capsule-wardrobe/" target="_blank">10 items</a>. Some swear by a magical number like <a href="http://theproject333.com/how-to-build-a-capsule-wardrobe/" target="_blank">33 items</a>. Some are strict and allow no freebies (like accessories count in your item total), some are <a href="http://www.momadvice.com/post/fall-2014-fashion-capsule-wardrobe-project" target="_blank">a bit more lenient</a>. Either way, the theory is the less clothes you have in your closet, the more likely you will be able to find them and wear them. Also, if you take the time to think about your clothes as a mix and match set (per season), you will always look good.<br />
<br />
Well, I'm sold. I've watched enough of the now off-the-air TV show "What Not to Wear" to know it's time! Wish me luck. I'll report back soon.<br />

Our big trip this past summer was to Japan. What a wonderful country filled with rich history, beautiful scenery and, of course, incredible design. I must say, I couldn't get enough of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawaii" target="_blank">kawaii</a>, or super cuteness in so much of their product packaging. The sweet characters, winking vegetables, and happy inanimate objects really do put a smile on your face!<br />
<br />
To keep you smiling - whether at school, at home or at the office, I decided to create some free printable notes in the kawaii style. Just print out a few copies, cut up the squares, and send notes to your kids in their lunch box, your students for a job well done, or your co-worker to brighten their day. Nothing like a little cuteness to brighten anyones day!<br />

I'm back! What a summer it's been. There was lounging by the pool and kayaking on the lake. There was time to sketch and time to workout. There was also an incredible adventure to a far off country.<br />
<br />
Taking the last 2 months off has been wonderful, but now I'm ready to dive back in to my business and start designing. I've been invigorated by getting back to my artistic roots of sketching and painting and plan to add much of it to my work. I've also been inspired by our recent trip to Japan. There were so many wonderful visual delights I'm eager to capture. I can't wait to incorporate this new energy into my work as well.<br />
<br />
So, now that the kids are happily back at school, I'm ready to get creating. This Fall, I plan to post on Tuesdays and Thursdays -- I'll be sharing all these new ideas and also plan to continue with fun free printables to liven up your every day. Here's to a wonderful Fall season.Betsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01116603443325904962noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994577903646596435.post-77172486022842729232014-07-10T18:20:00.001-07:002014-08-28T09:28:00.319-07:00July Break<br />

<br />
July has arrived and life is good! We are spending time swimming, playing tennis, golfing, and of course making time to sketch. The craziness of the school year has taught me that slowing down a little during the summer is ok. In fact, I've decided it's just plain necessary. <br />
<br />
Late August will be here in a blink of an eye, and my kids will go racing back to school, homework, sports and more, so while they are around this summer, I've decided to take a little blogging break and enjoy the long days and warm nights to just hang out.<br />
<br />
I plan to pop in here and there, as well as give a peak in at our exciting vacation up ahead... But for the most part, you'll find me lazing by the pool! Feel free to email with any questions or thoughts, and I promise to dry off long enough to answer. <br />
<br />
Hope you are enjoying the summer as much as I am!<br />

Summer break is here, and although my kids will be very active with swim team, tennis lessons, golf, traveling and more, I know we will still have lots of downtime.... downtime that if my son had his way would be spent playing video games.<br />
<br />
I'm definitely not one to prohibit a little gaming. My kids like it and even my husband loves to join in on the weekends. Like everything, though, it needs to be in moderation. So, this summer we are starting something new. I've created a Reading/Gaming Log page to actively track their gaming time and their reading time. The initial plan is, for every minute they read, they will get a minute of game time. My daughter is a big reader, but my son on the other hand will read only every so often. He also thinks that 20 minutes of reading is a good amount... but when it comes to his iPad games, he can be engaged for 120 minutes and not blink an eye. I think this log will give the kids a chance to see how much time they do spend on these activities, and possibly modify it in the future and/or choose alternatives to gaming like possibly running around outside!<br />
<br />
We'll see how it goes. I'll definitely report back mid-summer and let you know!<br />

It's the last day of school, it's my birthday and my littlest one is officially done with elementary school. Phew! With all this goings-on it can only mean one thing, IT'S SUMMER TIME!! Yay, my favorite time of year. I'm definitely looking forward to long days at the pool, late nights hanging out in the back yard and a few popsicles too. But, for now, I think a nap sounds just perfect. Hope you have a wonderful summer planned too.Betsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01116603443325904962noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994577903646596435.post-83097771995041523262014-06-05T16:02:00.000-07:002014-06-05T16:02:49.002-07:00Free Printable School's Out for Summer Party Invitations<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Summer is almost upon us and it's time for some patriotic fun. Here are 2 hand painted digital scrapbook papers I created perfect for crafts or parties. Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day are all perfect occasions to pull out the red, white and blue.<br />
<br />
The papers can be used to create a festive banner, cupcake toppers, or as a card or envelope. You can use them as wrapping paper, pinwheels, and or as a scrapbook paper for your summer memories. The uses are endless, so just print out and enjoy!<br />

There's no denying it... my kids have really had some wonderful teachers through the years! We are so lucky. With the end of the school year approaching, it's time to find a little something to show how much I really appreciate all that they do, day in and day!<br />

In light of the many vocabulary and spelling tests I've helped my kids prepare for, I thought it would be fun to make some free printable tags that best define how wonderful our teachers are. The tag is designed using a weathered piece of binder paper, and a dictionary style. I strung it with some twine-- I thought it looked great with the distressed feel.<br />
<br />
So, print out a bunch of these, and tie them to a bouquet of flowers, a gift card, or any other gift you may be giving and let your child's teach know just how much they are appreciated!<br />

Cinco de Mayo may be over, but Fiesta season is just beginning! When the weather is warm, there's nothing like a good old fashioned fiesta. The foods, the drinks, the music, and even the games seem to always be crowd pleasers. Whip up a big taco salad or create a burrito bar for your party and don't forget the blender. There's nothing like a cold margarita on a hot afternoon to get things going.<br />

"And they're off…"<br />
<br />
They say it's the fastest 2 minutes in sports. I say it looks like a great party! The Kentucky Derby is coming up this weekend. I've never been, but it's definitely on my bucket list. I love the tradition surrounding the event- the chilled <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/the-perfect-mint-julep-recipe.html" target="_blank">mint juleps</a> in silver mugs, the <a href="http://www.kentuckyderby.com/news/photos/derby-hats" target="_blank">festive hat</a> decked out with flowers and floating butterflies if you'd like, and the <a href="http://www.kentuckyderby.com/experience/traditions/roses" target="_blank">red roses</a>… lots and lots of beautiful blooming red roses.<br />
<br />
Of course, there is actually a horse race involved too. A horse race seeped in history filled with skilled jockeys and well bred horses. Don't forget about a little luck. Sometimes it's the underdog who surprises the crowd!<br />
<br />
I had a great time creating my "The Essentials: Kentucky Derby" drawing above. It includes all the necessary items for a wonderful Kentucky Derby-- from the mint julep, to the prize trophy. It's a great snapshot of a wonderful tradition that fleets by every year!<br />

<br />
The sun is out and things are warming up… May is definitely here! For this month's wallpaper, I thought I'd go bright and festive with a fiesta theme. I just love the look of papel picado - colorful Mexican paper cutouts. As a banner, the vibrant colors float in the air and definitely make me want to celebrate (add a Margarita and I'm set!)<br />
<br />
So, here's to warming up this month and celebrating May with a possible fiesta or two!<br />

I can't believe it's been over 3 years since I posted my free printable Lil'Pirate Party Set including: <a href="http://bnute.blogspot.com/2011/03/free-printable-pirate-party-invitations.html" target="_blank">Little Pirate Party Invitations</a>, <a href="http://bnute.blogspot.com/2011/03/free-printable-lilpirate-loot-bag-label.html" target="_blank">Loot Bag</a> and <a href="http://bnute.blogspot.com/2011/05/free-printable-lilpirates-ahoy-banner.html" target="_blank">Ahoy banner</a>. I love to hear from readers now and again how they've used the set at one of their parties! Just recently, a reader contacted me and said she was so excited to use my invitation and banner, but would love to have matching circles to use as cupcake toppers.<br />
<br />
Well, it sounded like a great idea, so hear they are! These 2" circles can be used as cupcake toppers, or you could use them as stickers as well. I kept some blank too so you can customize as you'd like.<br />
<br />
Enjoy me mateys!<br />

</tbody></table>
I can still remember my daughter's sweet little yellow Easter dress she wore one year when she was a toddler. The bright yellow pressed cotton, the smocking with tiny adorable embroidered flowers on it, and the precious peter pan collar. She looked perfect for a bright Easter morning brunch!<br />
<br />
Each year, my mom continued the tradition she started when my daughter was born by getting her an Easter dress to wear. It's always been the same, sweet traditional style I just love, until more recently. Although I couldn't be more proud to watch my daughter grow into a young woman, it's hard to say goodbye to those sweet dresses!<br />
<br />
I did tuck a few into a box to save for her when she's a mom. With such a timeless style, perhaps her daughter or daughters could wear one as well. I can only hope she'll keep up the Easter dress tradition. With such a casual lifestyle we lead, it's always fun to get dressed up once and awhile!Betsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01116603443325904962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994577903646596435.post-68495021525164177962014-04-03T15:10:00.000-07:002014-04-03T15:12:29.767-07:00Gettin' Crafty: Front Door Collage Art<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

For some reason, on my walk today I started paying attention to everyone's front door. Each house I passed, I mentally analyzed their entryway. Was it welcoming? Was it colorful? What did it potentially say about the family that lived inside?<br />
<br />
Once home, my obsession continued. I decided to create a project that would celebrate my very own front door. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. It's the perfect collage to be framed and sit near <br />
<a name='more'></a>our entryway welcoming our guests. Below are the directions for how you can create one too.<br />

</tbody></table>
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">DIY Front Door Collage Art</span></b><br />
1. <i>Take Some Pictures of Your Front Door and Entryway</i><br />
I took all my shots using my trusty iPhone camera. Take as many as you can so you have a few to choose from. Also, vary between distance shots and close ups. Besides a few shots of the front door and porch itself, take photos of your: house numbers, mailbox/mail slot, doorbell, wreath, doormat, foliage at the front door, porch light, and other defining elements of your entryway.<br />
<br />
2. <i>Use PicFrame or Other App to Create Collage</i><br />
Use an app on your phone to put together your photo collage. I used an app called <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/picframe/id433398108?mt=8" target="_blank">PicFrame</a>. There are several others available as well.<br />
<br />
3. <i>Print Out Collaged Image</i><br />
Save your collaged image and then print it out on 8.5"x11" white paper.*<br />
<br />
4. <i>Print Out "Home Sweet Home" Template Below</i><br />
Print out the template below on 8.5"x11" white paper (card stock if possible).*<br />
<br />
5. <i>Combine Photo Collage and Template, then Frame Image</i><br />
Glue or use double stick tape to put your photo collage on top of the template below. Place your 8"x10" image into a frame and put in your foyer or living room to greet guests.<br />
<br />
*Note: For those who are digitally savvy, you can easily combine the two images (photo collage of your front door and template below) using an image editing program like Photoshop.<br />

</tbody></table>
I love learning about different traditions celebrated in other countries. When I first heard how the French celebrate April Fool's Day I was quite confused. The day is called Poisson d'Avril and the tradition is to tape a paper fish drawing on to your friend's back without them knowing. It has the same light hearted silliness as a prank one might play on April Fool's Day in the United States, but the prank never changes. It's always a fish. So, why the name "April fish" and how did the tradition come to be?<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
After doing a little research, it's clear that there's not a definitive answer, but the most plausible seems to revolve around the changing of the New Year from the end of March to January 1st in 1564 by King Charles XIV of France. Since communication at that time was very poor the news of the change of the New Year date was slow to spread. There was no way to tweet the information, in fact, there wasn't even a reliable postal system at the time. For those who had not heard the news or were reluctant to change, a joke was played on them. The joke was to stick a paper fish on their back. The victim of the prank was then called a Poisson d'Avril or April Fish.<br />
<br />
Today in France, many school age children love to continue the tradition. Also, many of the patisseries and confectionaries throughout France shape their breads and chocolates into fish for the festivities. Yum!<br />
<br />
Below I created some playful hand drawn fish for you to try out the tradition yourself. Just print the page, cut out the fish and have fun finding an unsuspecting person to become a Poisson d'Avril!
