Go 'Hawks!

I made these with some left over lumber and left over paint, 1 piece of 12x12 paper, some vinyl and my Cricut! ONly took a couple hours, and my son is SO excited about them! Go team!

Flip flop wreath

I have seen several flip flop wreaths on Pinterest lately. This is my take on it!

**Tip** Instead of using a wreath form that can cost $4.99 or more, I used a piece of foam pipe insulation from Home Depot. It cost $0.97, and it is 6 feet long so you can cut it in half and make 2 wreaths! I secure the ends with duct tape, and voila! Follow me on Pinterest!

Valentine's cone wreath

My crafty friend and I are back at it! We like to get together once a month at least, preferably once a week. This time we made this super cute (and easy!) paper cone wreath for Valentine's day. I love the red/pink/grey/black colors, and I personalized mine with a picture of my family on our "forever anniversary." (The anniversary of the day we were sealed for time and all eternity in the Seattle LDS temple. For more information on what that means, visit Mormon.org )

The original pin can be found here. As you can see, I tweaked mine a bit from the original idea, and I think it turned out so much cuter!

Signs of Fall sign!

This is similar to the family motto board, but it has autumn papers in the background, and one of my favorite fall quotes on the front. It says "Scarecrows...corn rows...pumpkins on the vine. Leaves curl, winds swirl, Fall is right on time!"

These are super simple to make. Go to Home Depot and find a 1 in x 12 in x 4 ft board. Have them cut it in half so it is 1 in x 12 in x 24 in. Pick out several papers, I used 5-6, and cut them into varying sized strips. Mod podge to board. Using Cricut or whatever vinyl cutter you have, cut out whatever words you'd like, stick to board...viola! Super cute as gifts, or to decorate your own home.

Family motto

I love the idea of having a family motto. If found a quote I really liked, tweaked it a bit, and put it together on this board. It's pretty cute, and I love the colors. It says "This is our home. In our home, we laugh out loud, have dance breaks, talk openly, make mistakes, love completely, forgive quickly, sing off key, encourage, worry less about clean and more about fun. Four walls don't make a home, four people do." Isn't that sweet. This was a combination of these two pins.

Upcoming birthday board

For crafty Tuesday, my sweet friend and I made cute birthday boards. You put little tags to show the next upcoming birthday, you can either store them all on the board or just one at a time. I think this one turned out quite cute. I put "celebrate" instead of "happy birthday" because I am going to make tags for Christmas and other holidays also. I found the idea here http://pinterest.com/pin/23903126/

Pomander balls

Every week on Tuesdays, my sweet friend and I get together to make a craft. Usually it is one we found on Pinterest . This was one she really wanted to make. I wasn't too enthused originally, but I think it turned out darling. It matches my baby girl's room, and was super simple to make (but time consuming!!)   First you punch out a bunch (I mean a BUNCH!) of 1/2 inch flowers. Then you take a styrofoam ball (like the kind you make planet mobiles out of) and using straight pins, pin the flowers all over so there is no white styrofoam showing. Pin a loop of ribbon to hang it and you are done!
