Grandparent's Day

I made this super simple little gift for my mom.  Not super flashy, but I love the saying!  Bought an inexpensive shadowbox frame, printed out the saying & added a couple of embellishments.  The 7 buttons represent her 7 grandkids!!  :)  Cute & simple!!

Boxes to Book-holders

Quite a while ago, I found some diapers on sale (and had a coupon, of course ;) & they came in cool boxes!!  I just new that some day, I'd get around to using them!!  Well, about a year later. . . I finally did!!  :)  This is what I came up with!!  - - Totally not super original, but this is my spin on book-holders!!  :)

Before:

After:

Super simple!!  Painted the insides & spines of the boxes - Mod Podged scrapbook paper on sides & front - added a glitter Mod Podge coat all around!!  :)  After I finished the 3 diaper boxes, I made another one out of a (large) cereal box!!!  Perfect for magazines!!  :)

Cut off top & 1/2 of one side.

Painted, papered & Mod Podged!!  :)

Easy Bathroom Art

This was definitely a no-brainer project. . . yet again!! :) I found some cute red frames at none other than the dollar store, and thought they'd be perfect for my hall bathroom! I used some subtle scrapbook paper as a background & then cut some cute silhouettes with the Cricut - - that's it - - told ya it was a no-brainer!!! :) I'm still working on a few other bathroom projects, so hopefully all will be done soon!!!

Clearance Art Re-Do

I found some REALLY cheap "art" at Hobby Lobby. I wasn't too fond of it, however I saw some potential! :)

I came home, started thinking, and this is what I came up with (sorry, but I forgot to take pictures of each step, but I'm sure you get the idea!!):

Sanded the dark brown piece - (not too bad actually), then took apart the blue/pink pieces - only to find that they were made of 3 separate pieces . . . score!!! :) I had some scrapbook paper that I've been wanting to use, so I covered the outside frame, then trimmed the center. I took the yellow crown off the original center piece & covered that piece with paper as well. The original center piece actually fit perfectly on top of the outside frame!! Basically, I turned my once "introverted" art into "extroverted" art! :) They're nothing super fancy, but I think they turned out cute!! (And the price was great - - about $2 each, being that I already had the paper!!)
