If you have some vintage book paper (or sheet music) and some cut-out letters, here's a super easy summer decoration. I whipped up this cute beach banner in between weekend barbeques and the crummy weather. I used my Cricut to cut out the letters and starfish, but you could easily use chipboard pieces or print directly onto your book paper. After gluing each letter on, I punched holes at the tops of each page. Then...
I popped into my local Ikea yesterday and found these really cute apple baskets. For only $9.99 each, I knew I could add a spooky twist to them. So I did! Because I also want to be able to use them for other holidays/seasons, I knew I did not want to spray paint anything on them. I recently bought Cricut's Halloween cartridge, so I printed out this spooky graphic onto black cardstock. I used Sticky...
I just added these cuties to my Etsy shop. Beachy whale frames: In blue. And pink. I used my Cricut Splish Splash cartridge to make the whales and their water. I typed out beach using Word and glued it beneath each whale. I made a blue one for myself to hang in the bathroom. The boys love it...and so do I! Adds just the right touch of beachy charm! Jeanine ...
I haven't had much time this week for any projects (boo hoo!), so I'm sharing some quick tags I made last week using my Cricut: I love this French script image that I purchased off of Etsy (Graphique.etsy.com) and I love how it looks on this Fleur de Lis. I use #80 cardstock so it's a bit thicker than the regular #60 found in most craft stores. I finished them up with some tea-stained seam...
I was browsing the Pottery Barn site the other day and came across these pretty numbered frames ($39 for a set of three): (Photo courtesy of Pottery Barn) When I saw these oval frames at my local church thrift store on Friday, I knew immediately that I could do something similar with them. First, I spray-painted each frame black. While they were drying, I used my Cricut to make my 1,2,3 stencils. Instead of canvas, I...
My craft room/office is a disaster. There, I said it. I'm slowly trying to get things in order starting with some of these jars: I'm really loving this chalkboard paper. I wish I had heard about it sooner. I used my Cricut to cut it into these cute tags. Now I can easily identify what I need instead of digging through a pile of everything. I'm just giddy over how organized I am now! Now to...
