Latest Projects

I have been in craft mode again! I feel so accomplished when I make something I actually like. Usually I hate everything I make at first, then after a few days I either keep hating it or decide it's not as bad as I originally thought.

I started a new picture wall using a bunch of frames I got at the DI and my silhouette for the vinyl.

I made this for our front room, I know it's very valentinsey so I might remove the vinyl hearts until February.

I am so excited about this year round wreath. My friend suggested we do it for a craft night and I'm so glad we did! It was kind of tedious but worth it. Burlap is pretty messy! We got the idea and tutorial from here.
I still have to make Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines but these are the ones I have done so far. Sorry about my picture quality, not sure why everything looks so foggy!!

Paper Rose Wreath

I am so excited about this wreath. It took me about 2 weeks to make. Every night after I put the kids to bed, I would work on it for at least an hour. Cutting, rolling, and then gluing (my husband works full time and goes to school at night, I need projects like this to keep me busy) It was a bit tedious but worth it!

I found the idea for the paper roses here. I just got a cheap wreath at Michael's and wrapped some red felt around it, just so it's red underneath and will blend (I had some on hand, you could also do ribbon, spray paint, colored tape, yarn.... etc...) I used construction paper from Michaels for the roses. It's the only kind I could find the same color of in a whole pack. It worked great and much better priced then card stock! When I was all done, I took the wreath outside and sprayed it with some red glitter adhesive. You can't see it well in the pictures but it gives it the perfect amount of shine.
