Shamrock Garland

I LOVE St. Patty's Day!  Its sadly one of the neglected holidays in my opinion so I try to make a few more crafts each year for it:)  I wanted to make a fun garland for my little shelf so while I was at the Dollar Tree I saw the cutest Shamrocks {I bought one pkg that had 6 light green and 6 glitter $1} and knew they would be perfect.   CHEAP and EASY that's pretty much all I can do these days with a little 4 month old attached to me:) 

 

THIS IS WHAT I DID:

Super complicated right?!:) 

2 minutes....literally and you've got a super cute Shamrock Garland!

{Cupid}

Hey Everyone!  I know its been A. LONG. TIME.  I saw THESE cute letters on Pinterest.  I had to make myself some:)  I just drew the letters and then cut them out using my scroll saw.  I love the little CUPID, hes pretty cute:)   I guess its better late then never to show these right?...:)

 

 Happy Belated Valentines Day!

I saw this...

on Pinterest and naturally I had to make one for myself! 

 

I started out by going on line and finding a FREE printable Temple Picture.  I'm sure you have seen this beautiful picture over at Lil Luna.  She has TONS of FREE Temple pictures to choose from.  Some have words and some don't.  The Mesa Temple is the Temple my husband I are were married in so I chose this one:) 



 

  Ginger over at Ginger Snap Crafts shows a tutorial on how she made hers but unfortunately I don't have a silhouette so I had to draw my frame.  It was actually really easy it just took some time.  

I took a saucer plate and centered it in the middle of the paper.  Then I just traced the saucer again 4 times to create my outline.  I used a piece of paper to make the center of the frame.  I did make it a little smaller so that it wouldnt be the exact size of my Temple print out.
 

 I free handed the points on it and then cut out my pattern.  I made this one to serve 2 purposes.  I want this butterfly looking one to make frames for my girls room,  so when I cut out my pattern I just didn't draw the points on for this frame.  I used a Jig Saw to cut this out and then sanded and spray painted my frame. 

 I took Gingers advice and taped my picture to the back to make it easy:)

This is the finished project!  I love love love it:)  This would be PERFECT for a wedding gift or Christmas gift.  Although you may not have a silhouette you can still make yourself a frame!

Happy Fall Everyone:)  I love this time of year and what makes it even better is my new little baby boy is finally here!  My husband has had lots of time off to spend with our family and its been so nice!  We named our son Jensen Lynn after my parents who mean so much to my husband and I.  We are so grateful for our family and love having four kids!  Its a little crazy but I love it:)  I LOVE being a mom:)

 

 Today I want to share with you all this awesome display my mom made for her front porch.  My mom is so creative, she always makes holidays so much fun:)  Check out this CUTE ladder riddled with Pumpkins and Crows! 

 My dad had an old metal ladder lying around so my mom took that and spray painted it black. {I swear to you guys my dad has the most awesome stuff around and hes always letting us use it!  most of the stuff he gets for free:)  yep, I learned that from my dad:)  Free is gooood:)}  Then she added some SpOOky Crows she got at the Dollar Store and Pumpkins she got at our local Pumpkin Patch.  I love this!  Thanks for sharing Mom!   

 



A few of my Favorite Halloween Crafts {made by me}

I love Halloween!  I was going back through my past Halloween post and decided I would High Light a few of my favorite projects I have made from years past.  SO here we go:)...

 

"BOO"  I absolutely LOVE these!  When Halloween is over I keep out my pumpkin for Thanksgiving:)  I love when I can use things for 2 holidays.

 EKK!!  I made these little frames from dollar tree frames, scrapbook paper and some glitter.  SO easy but make a cute little shelf sitter.

 "B" with pumpkin "O"s {once again the pumpkins can be left out for thanksgiving as well}

 I made each of my girls a Witch Hat out of  BIG Party Hats and Cowboy Hats I slapped together from the dollar tree.  I spray painted the party hats then glued them to the cowboy hats. 

I felt pretty clever!

 

LOVE THESE witches shoes!
