Have you seen Yoplait's new Oui Yogurts at your local supermarket?!  I was drawn to the glass jars they are being sold in and since I've been on a health kick, I picked up two of their "French-style" yogurts.
Good yogurt, but even better jars to use for your craft projects!  Goodbye Key Lime Pie and hello mini nest jars for Easter.  I used two of my favorite French images (from the Graphics Fairy) and printed them onto clear label paper.
Simply peel and stick, and add whatever embellishments suit your fancy.  I tied on some tea-stained seam binding for mine.  Add some faux Dollar Store moss and petite eggs, and you have an instant Easter decoration.  

I have mine on the kitchen windowsill.

If you love the look of school metal lockers as much as I do, head to your local Walmart and pick these babies up!  (Mine had them on clearance, so a set of 2 cost me $8.)  Once you get them home, use a hot glue gun and enamel tags to add a fresh touch!  This project literally took 5 minutes and I love the look.  Fun and functional for our family room.

Anyone else itching for spring?  I really can't complain.  It hasn't been a terrible winter here.  We had one major snowstorm.  Still, this time every year I start getting cabin fever and just want to be outside.
While I wait for the official start of the season, I started working on some spring-inspired projects.  This little black wood frame is from Kohl's (you might remember the other one I did with a B monogram).  I decided to give it a quick spring makeover using my Cricut and this little bird's nest.  
I cut out the letters for nest onto sticker paper and then carefully added them to the frame.  I used my hot glue gun to place the bird's nest on top.  Done and done!  

And now I have a sweet new piece for spring.

I've been experimenting with my Cricut and adhesive-backed vinyl lately.  I purchased a few new cartridges from Amazon and couldn't wait to experiment with them.  First I painted this random wood piece from a flower press.  I simply painted it white and then used the Anna's Fancy Lettering cartridge to spell out home.
It got a little tricky peeling off the letters and getting them even on the wood, but I think I did a pretty good job for my first attempt.
Using a 99 cent wood board from Kohl's (less than 99 cent since I used my 30 percent off coupon!) and the Monogram Motifs Cricut cartridge, I made this pretty B monogram board.
I used regular label paper for this one, and added the enamel number tag for a French market look.  Again, a little tricky using such sticky paper, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy.

I'm working on a third sign as we speak!  Affliate links are below.

Both of these were added to my mini basement gallery wall.
