I made my own button...

I've been wanting to make my own button for my blog for a long time now and it always seemed like such a long process. So today I finally sat down and took the time to figure it out and I did. It is really really easy. If you've been wanting to make one check out this tutorial on how to do it, from cutest blog on the block. http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/blog-secrets/201-newhow-to-make-a-button-with-a-grab-box.html
Let me know how it goes :)

Any help would be great..

I love Valentine's day!!!

Stay tuned for a super cute Valentine's day blog giveaway!!!!

For a friend

My friends and I have a secret santa exchange and I made this for my friend. Let you know it was very hard to decide what to make her because she is very crafty herself and I really needed to step up my game. I don't know if she really likes it or not, I'm afraid to look around her house to see if it is up, but I totally understand if its not...its so hard to make things for her.

So I started off with a framed board that I found at Ben Franklin and then I painted it black and then covered the inside with paper and then I cut out random size squares and rectangles, destressed the edges. I added a strip or red velvet the I added the squares and rectangles to my liking and then some swirly felt. I tucked some swirls behind the squares too.

Then I Cricuted the letters and inked the edges in red and placed them on top, I used pop dots for dimension. I added wood scrolls to both top corners and viola!

Just some crafting...

This was done a Craft Club project taught by my friend Julie. It's made with mailing tubes, how clever!!


I made this from a very old cabinet door, the glass broke out of it and I didn't know what to do with it so I did this. You can add pictures in the frames, which I still need to do and then find some where to put it.

Just some cute Valentine's Day things...the mailbox I found a target in the dollar section and covered it with flowers, I though about using paper but i wanted to do something different. And the notebook and red frame is from Micheal's in the dollar section of course!!

Sealed With A Kiss

Pucker up baby!!! Just a layout I did to show off my cute girls!!

Christmas presents

Okay I know these are being posted a little late, but love the way they turned out. I was asked by my friend to make a few Christmas present for some of her family members and I was so excited to do them. I made a sign for her daughter's room, Sienna, and a photo barn star for a present for someone in her family. What do you think??
