Yay for Babies!!

Earlier this month my bestest friend found out she was pregnant! YAYYYYYYYY

Congrats Amanda and Kevin!!!!!!

Sadly, my Amanda moved to NC. I live in NJ. I miss her dearly, but that won't stop me from making this baby everything under the sun!!! So naturally, I've been crafting away. 

I started with water colors of baby animals I thought would look adorable in any babies room. Then I found frames at AC Moore (I was gonna make em myself but they were on sale so I went for it!)

How cute will these looks in a nursery?!?

Spur of the Moment Dry Erase Board

Months ago I went to a chinese auction and I won a gift card. It was presented to me in a junky dollar store frame and has been sitting around ever since. I painted it up, put construction paper in the frame,  played around with my Cricut (it was my first time ever cutting vinyl!), and ended up with this cute dry erase board.

I just wrote random things to show you how it looks. Hah. My dad doesn't actually smell like farts. Unless he farted, but thats another story! 

Yay! First Vinyl Project!!!

 

Picture Frame re-do

I am always very critical of my work. I usually hate it in some way, and others tell me to "shut up", this time though, I have reason to be critical. It started when the frame on my desk at work took its last breath. I grabbed another frame and decided to make it a perfect frame to hold a picture of me and the boyfriend. Sadly, I wasn't happy with the turn out.

 I painted the whole frame white. This was where the error occurred. The paint job came out streaky and globby and overall just looked bad. I attempted to fix it with mod podge and items cut out with my Cricut but the final result ended up messy. If that wasn't bad enough I also wanted to transfer the metal letters i had on my other frame that said "Corey & Shaun." Sadly, somewhere in transport though, the U and N went MIA. I now have a frame that says "Corey & Sha" GREAAAAAT!

Grossness

Unhappy!

Frames

I have a ton of scrapbook paper and I didnt know what to do with it because I pretty much gave up scrap booking (how many books does one person need?!). So I found this. At $1.00 a pop how could a go wrong! So I picked up 2 from Michaels and got to work. I also used some $0.99 stickers left over from the topiary project (Here), and I made more flowers from left over fabric from the magnetic board project (here).

Finished Project:

One of these is going to go to my b/f's little sister for Christmas. The other is just another misfit craft. lol
