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 binding. I'm thinking of doing some for Xmas this year but with red and green seam binding. Can't you just see them hanging from the tree?!
Then I made some seahorses - also using the French script. I have some of these displayed in my bathroom which has a bit of a French/coastal feel. I also have both for sale in my Etsy shop.

Remember that Home Goods wood tote I posted about last week (here)? Here it is now:
I originally wanted to paint it white but I ran out half way through. Plan B: pink. I wanted to make it really girly and yes, it is in our bathroom - right on top of the loo (so much nicer than saying toilet). The starfish hand towels are from Pottery Barn.
I added this great Marie Antoinette image to both of the skinnier sides using Mod Podge. Once that was dry, I added the rhinestone embellishments.
Then I added some Frenchy touches inside.
This tag is actually a thank you from an Etsy purchase. I added the French script button because I accidentally ripped the tag when I added the tea-stained seam binding. Oops!
I'm really loving it and it's exactly the girly piece that I imagined it could be! Linking to The Graphics Fairy: Brag Monday and Between Naps on the Porch: Met Monday.

I know March is a crazy month but c'mon now. It's freezing here again and I don't feel like doing anything. I feel like we had a taste of spring and Mother Nature just yanked it away.
This is about all I feel like doing today.

I am in the process of giving this Home Goods' wood tote a makeover. I actually remembered to take some before photos for once:
Not loving the yucky brown. I bought it a couple of years ago and I don't quite remember why. She ain't pretty.
And after sitting in the tea room holding magazines and books for a couple of years, she was filled with cobwebs and other little creature remnants. Bleah!
Right now she's sitting in the garage after the first coat of paint. I want to do something spring-y so I'm thinking either white or pink. And I have the perfect little embellishments that I just picked up from Michael's.
Wish me luck!

It's my favorite time of the week: White Wednesday (even if it is only Tuesday)! This tray was a garage sale find from last year and since I left it out over the summer, it got a little, um, dirty. So over the weekend I gave it a fresh coat of white paint:
Since I'm keeping it indoors this year, I wanted to give it a Frenchy touch, so I printed out this great image from The Graphics Fairy's DIY blog. At first I was going to stencil it on using graphite paper but being in a lazy mood, I chose to Mod Podge it on instead. I distressed the edges ever so slightly for an aged look.
Right now it's on my dining room table displaying my little cloches and Easter eggs.
I really love this graphic!
