Summer blooms in the garden
Over on CraftyPod, Diane had a fantastic idea: Link Love Fridays. In August she is hosting a theme for each week, this week is for favorite tutorials.
Here’s some fabulously crafty and brilliant ideas from some of the blogs I follow:

There’s so much potential for customizing a monogram like this. And it will give me more ideas for using up my washi tape stash.
Recycled TShirt Canvas Arty by Kim over at The Trashy Crafter
I have a ton of t-shirts I don’t wear but can’t part with because of the sentimental value. Making them into art is a brilliant way to use them. I’m thinking about seasonal decor – football season in particular.
