Framed Family Vinyl over Houndstooth print

"Family- The greatest things in life aren't things"

Wow! This project only took me about 5minutes, except the vinyl took me FOREVER to apply, because it  is old.  I have let it sit around my house for a couple of years!

One of my goals this week is to use up all the vinyl lettering I have laying around.  I bought a bunch from a friend and I have never used it.  Hopefully I will be posting a lot of cool projects this week:)

All I did was cut down a sheet of 12x12 Houndstooth scrapbook paper to 8x10.  Then I applied the vinyl, which I said before, took me about 15 minutes to apply.  The key is to use tweezers!  

Lastly, I hot glued the 3 silk flowers!  So simple:)  What do ya think?  I am lovin' it!!

Let it SNOW! Picture Frame {Tutorial} repost

Today I am home sick from church.  I want to craft, but since I am feeling kinda crappy, I will show you one from last year.  I hardly had ANY followers last year, so I figure you probably haven't seen it:)


This Picture Frame craft was so EASY and CHEAP!  I don't mean cheap looking, just inexpensive....


Here is what I did:

I went to Joann's and bought a 5 x7 frame for 60% off, but you probably have one laying around your house, or you could buy one at goodwill.  That's what I usually do, but I was at Joann's and Yea, I gave in to the sale.  It cost me like $5.99.

Then I went to the gift wrap section and bought a cheap Christmas gift bag.  I think it was 60% off too!  It cost me like 1.29 or something.

I went home, cut out a 5 x 7 piece of the gift bag and put it in the frame.

Now for the next step, you could do several things!  I have a Cricut, so I cut out the "Let it Snow."  You could use rub ons, cut out letters with cardstock and glue them on....there are so many possibilities!  I put my vinyl on the outside of the glass.  SOOOO EASY!

This cost me about $7.50, not counting the vinyl.  I already had it.  Not bad, huh?  This would be a great gift too!

I am putting this on my mantle.  I'm wishing for SNOW......

Spooky Subway Art with Modge podge

****{If you would like to enter my Scrapbook stash giveaway, please scroll down or click here}  Hurry!!  It ends tomorrow Sept. 18th at midnight****


Boy is Subway Art the rage in the blogosphere lately!  I have seen so many fun and creative ways of doing it.  Well, here is my take on it.

I only spent about $1 on the frame (mine is 11 x 17), then spray painted it black.  The paper I used for the background is Basic Grey.  Instead of using vinyl, I cut the letters out with my Cricut machine.  I modge podged all the letters on the paper, then brushed a light layer of modge podge over the finished project.  When it was dry, I put it in the frame with out the glass.  Super Easy!

I really like how it turned out.  What do you think? 

I love the little spider in the middle!

Have a great weekend!
