Paper Butterfly Specimen Art

Paper Butterfly Specimen Art at www.happyhourprojects.com

Butterflies are such an icon of spring, aren't they?  I would typically not say I'm butterfly-crazy, but I swear, every time spring finally arrives, I kind of am.  I love those beautiful butterfly art specimens, but it kind of weirds me out to hang a dead butterfly on my wall.  I gt it that they ...

Easy Kids' Fingerprint Tree at www.happyhourprojects.com

Happy Friday!  So, did you catch the copper tree I posted on Wednesday?  I have been thinking on all the ways I can't wait to use that tree trunk die, so yesterday when my daughter asked if we could make a project for her babysitter, I had a great, super easy idea.  She loves to use my Sizzix Big ...

Better Than a Card | Copper Tree Framed Art

04/22/2015

Stamped and Framed Copper Tree Art at www.happyhourprojects.com | Better Than a Greeting Card

Happy Earth Day!  This is a special day to me, because it was Earth Day 8 years ago that I heard my (now) husband laugh while I was out with one of my girlfriends.  He has a laugh you can recognize instantly... distinctive and also kind of infectious, haha.  But one thing I can say about it is that ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
