BEE happy

Every once in a while I get an idea that I think is absolutely brilliant (it really isn't original but I was excited about it!) This is one of those times. Lately I've taken an interest in decoupage but found it difficult to find affordable paper to use. Etsy sellers wanted a crazy amount of money for 2 napkins. Amazon also wanted a crazy price for a set of cute decorative cocktail napkins. I didn't want to have to spend $15 just to use 1 napkin. The other problem I ran into was spending so much time looking for something specific I had in mind. That's when I had the idea! In true fashion of the modern women I thought heck I'll just do it myself. So designed my own and had it printed. *Genius* I am so excited about the results. Isn't it adorable? So I used it on my 5x5 box frame (which is my favorite btw). I cut out the part of the paper that I wanted and used a dollar tree foam brush to brush on some modpodge where I wanted the paper to stick. I then laid ...

Farm Fresh Flare

A s much as I want to hold on to all of the glory of summer, the picnics, ice cream cones, swimming, and late sun sets, I can’t help but notice the days are getting shorter, the nights are getting cooler and trees are already dropping some of their leaves. I took these as signs of permission, that fall is on the horizon and I can start decorating for the occasion. This year I decided to try out a farm theme highlighting one of my fall favorites, Fresh Apples! To me the fall harvest is one of the major moods of fall. Apples, pumpkins, scarecrows, corn mazes, and hay rides, oh my! Such great inspiration and so much fun. To complete the 3 pieces I used our Vintage Truck Fall Add-On , it has so many different parts that it was ideal for creating separate pieces that could all go together. The first piece I created was the Crisp Apples sign in a box frame . I made mine, but if you don’t have the time or will to create your ow...

Love Letters

Nothing says Valentine's Day like a love letter. After all typical Valentine's are just miniature love letters geared toward kids. This fun craft creates a beautiful decor piece perfect for the holiday. To start I used a 5x7 pallet board from chalk couture. ( You can purchase the chalk couture products used for this here ) In the top center of the board I used a Chalk Couture transfer and our chalkology chalk paste in black to screen print my image on to the pallet board. (Vinyl users you can do this with your machines as well but I prefer the ease and speed of the reusable chalk transfer for multiple productions for my shop.) Then using a black permanent marker and a ruler I drew diagonal lines to form the outline of an envelope. The lines don't come together and that's ok! We will hide that part later. The final part was adding a wooden heart cutout to the pallet board using hot glue. I purchased the cutouts from the dollar store and had painted them red for th...
