Washi Tape Keyboard!

A few months ago I saw a photo of a keyboard with all the keys covered in washi tape and fell in love with the idea!  I finally had some time to sit down and cover my own keys.  I picked a few of my favorite patterns and colors and really love how it came out, what do you think?

One last thing....I just joined Instagram, so if you would like to, follow me!   I'll be posting lots of pics of new items and little projects there as well as sales and specials!

MT Expo in Taipei, Taiwan

We had a great time in Taipei and Tokyo, but I'm so glad to finally be home! We're still dealing with terrible jet lag, especially my one year old, so I haven't had a chance yet to sort, photograph and list all the new tapes I brought back. Soon though, I promise! I thought I'd share some photos from the MT Expo in Taipei! I brought home a lot of limited edition tapes from the event.

The event took place inside Eslite Bookstore.  The stripes on the buildings and dots on the windows and doors are all masking tape.

The escalators had stripes of masking tape on them.

The floors as well.

The elevator.

One corner was lined with all the different patterned and solid tapes MT has (this was not all of them)

The ceiling.

A tree and dragon on one of the walls.

A window display.

There was an area to decorate your own little box with masking tape.

Sone of what I brought back!  More posts to come!

Quick Washi Tape Birthday Tag

The kids were invited to a birthday party yesterday and I made this tag right before we left.  I just used a plain white tag and used MT's Black Alphabet Masking Tape and Decor's Black Diagonal Striped Washi Tape.  I cut out the letters I needed from the alphabet tape, and since it's repositionable, I stuck the unused letters on a piece of cardstock to use later on another project.  I then took the striped tape and wrapped it around the edges of the tag.  

I wrapped the gift in green tissue paper and attached the tag with twine!

MT Factory Tour and Expo 2012

I'm so excited for my trip to Taiwan and Japan next month!  I've been searching for places to see and where to go shopping.  Last week I found out MT is doing a Factory Tour the week I am in Japan!  So I signed up for the tour, but apparently it is a lottery system, so I don't know yet if I will actually get to go on it.  I was completely elated when I found out today that there will be an MT Expo in Taipei while I'm there, and I will definitely be going!

While on the subject of masking tape, there's a few things I am hoping to find on my trip!  There's a masking tape printer, Coharu, that I would love to get!  It's a tiny compact one and so cute!

Coharu is made by King Jim.  MT also teamed up with King Jim and made Tepra Pro.

I am also hoping to get some MT Wall Tape!  I would love to be able to decorate my office with this!
