Merry and Bright

My friend designed this vinyl on her Gypsy after seeing a similar version.  I fell in love and had to make one.  I found some scrap board in my basement and adjusted her measurements to fit my board.  I painted it classic red, distressed it a bit, and viola...another cute decoration for my home.   

I just LOVE how it turned out.

Noel

I got this board a few years back, and have been using it in my decor even since.  But the negative space to the left of "Noel" has always bothered me.  So I decided it needed some sprucing up.  

Here's the "after".  I bought some fake holly and berries at Hobby lobby for $0.60.  I cut the stem to the length I wanted.  Then I wrapped the stem in jute.  And hot glued it right on the board.  I like it so much more now!

Felt tree

My cute neighbor was so excited to show me her latest craft, and as soon as I saw it I was so excited to make it!  It's a beautiful tree made from wool felt.  I used supplies I had on hand (and on her hand:) so it didn't cost me anything.  And I JUST love the detail. 

Glitter nativity

I got this beautiful glitter, vinyl Nativity a few years back, and had not done anything with it yet.  I had some extra board in my basement and took it to Lowe's to be cut.  I painted it a couple of different colors. The vinyl either disappeared on the lighter tones, or looked weird.  I finally settled on black, even though I wasn't totally happy.  I think I want to distress it up a little bit, and I'll like it more. 

Just look how beautiful the detail is...

Circle garland

I love making these little garlands.  Mine was inspired from THIS.  I use three punches.  1 3/4, 1 1/2, and 3/4.  Then I grabbed some free paint chips, and scrap paper.  A LOT of punches, and a little sewing later, I had these.  

So fun, easy and cheap. 

Button wreath art

I love button art, and as soon as I saw THIS, I knew I would make it. 

Baby gift

My husband's cousin is expecting her first baby.  She's out of state so we couldn't throw her a baby shower.  I thought a care package would be fun.  I made her a sleeping sign that will match his room. So she can hang it in there when it's not in use on the front door.

Some pee-pee tee-pee's

A burp cloth

Taggie toy

With matching card.  It looks so cute all together.  Hope she likes it!
