I was inspired by a recent Mother’s Day Menu post to break out my wood paper and make a pretty springtime card. And since die cut inlaying is so popular right now, I thought it’d be fun to stain my wood bits and adhere them back into my panel for a slightly vintage-y look. Start by cutting the floral design […]

Mother’s Day Shadow Box
With Mother’s Day just a few days away, I thought I’d share a springtime home decor piece that doubles as a thoughtful handmade gift for any of the special moms in your life. I bought this shadow box at a local craft store and started out by refinishing it in antique white with some acrylic paint. Use […]

This is the system that I’ve found works for me, and hopefully you can […]
St. Patrick’s Day Burlap Art
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today I wanted to share a quick and easy piece of framed art that you can make for this special little holiday or even leave up year-round. I’m not Irish, so I don’t decorate too much for St. Patrick’s Day, but I can’t resist putting a little something up and this […]
Event Reminder Labels
Hi again! I’m back with a quick project that will hopefully help you stay on top of your busy life. I’m a pretty organized person, but I’ve been known to miss an appointment or two just because I forget to put it on my calendar. I created these event reminder labels to fit both my […]
