HOME Blocks

I felt like getting crafty today with all my unfinished wood, so I decided to make a set of HOME blocks.  I used 1 x 4 pine wood, cut into 4 inch tall blocks, and set them on a 2 x 2 square piece of pine cut at 14 inches long.  I picked out some mostly teal, black and grey patterned scrapbook papers for my background, and used grey cardstock for the lettering.  I cut the letters out with my handy dandy Cricut machine and mod podged everything on.  After clear coating all the blocks, I decorated them with some paper flowers, ribbon, and gems.  I’m really happy...

Halloween SVG’s

I went crazy doing up some svg’s today, but I can’t help myself, they’re all just sooo darned cute!!  I got these ones from a couple different kits, the Halloween SVG Collection, and Party On Elm Street SVG Kit.  I just love the little spider!  I’m going to cut out a bunch for Halloween and cut out pieces of sticky back magnetic strip to stick to the backs of them, then I’m going to put them all over my front door.  They’re just too fun not to do something with.  I might add some red gems to the eyes when I do them as well, like I...

Doorhander SVG

Check out this cute little svg doorhanger kit I found from svgcut.com!  It features lots of bugs and colors, perfect for a kids room.  I did this one to the kit instructions, but with Cheryl’s Cute Bugs SVG Kit you could make it for a boys room as well.  The doorhanger kit comes with all the pieces set out for you, and tells you what color to use.  All you have to do is, using your SCAL program, put your paper on your Cricut mat, and hit cut!  It’s so easy.  But, if you would like your hanger to be a little more original I would suggest using some...

SVG Thanksgiving Card

Thanksgiving is fast approaching (well, in Canada anyway), so I thought I would make a cute Thanksgiving card from a kit that I got from SVGCuts.  Instead of just making it into a regular card, I thought it might be cute as a Thanksgiving place card for dinner.  It would add some color to the table, and I thought a note on the inside would make for a nice Thank-You to guests. Instead of making the smaller pumpkin out of paper, I cut it out of an adjustable chalkboard decal.  This way, if you were to keep your place cards, you can easily wipe the names off with a damp...
