3 New Sets of Bookends!

It’s been a busy couple of days, but I finally got my new owl bookends finished!  And, I’ve even started on an elephant set that would be cute for both boys and girls.  So, here are some pictures of my new ends, which are all available for sale in my Etsy Shop...

So Many Owls!!

I’ve been working away, cutting, painting, mod podging…starting on a few new sets of owl bookends.  I’ve picked out some new colors and designs for these ones from a book of cardstock paper that I have in my cupboard.  And to be honest, I can’t even remember where I got it.  I’m hoping it was Walmart, because I would really like another one of these books, and I’m hoping it wasn’t from the scrapbook store that shut down earlier this year 🙁  The brand name on the back is Momenta, so I think I’ll check that out.  Maybe...

New Owl Bookends

I just created a new set Love n Nature inspired owl bookends.  They’re made from mdf and scrapbook paper, and have been sealed with a water based clear coat.  You can find them here for...

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 Banner

I felt like making a Halloween craft today, so I thought I’d try a banner.  I used the pennant svg from the Toil and Trouble SVG Kit (click the link to go to this kit), along with a few other SVG’s from some other kits.  I picked black cardstock paper for my background pennant, which was done with the pointy shadow effect on my Cricut machine, and purple, red, and orange cardstock for the top layer.  I was going to use patterned Halloween scrapbook paper, but I thought it might distract from the letters in my word SPOOKY. I got the bat and flower svgs...

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...

Bug SVG’s

I got the cutest bug svg’s from Cheryl’s Cute Bugs SVG Kit.  It has all the little critters shown in my photo, plus svg’s to make the door hanger that I posted about below, as well as svg’s to make two different cards and a scrapbook page.  These would be cute to do up a little bigger and stick on a child’s bedroom wall.  Plus, they can be done in different colors so they could work for a girl or boy!  I added some little gems to mine for the eyes and spots on the ladybug, as well as wire for the butterfly antenna.  I also used a pop dot...

5 Sets of Unfinished Wood Blocks

I just listed 5 sets of unfinished wood blocks to my shop!  They have all been cut from pine, and are perfect for mod podging paper, vinyl, and photos on to.  The blocks could also be mix and matched to create whatever crafty idea you have in mind.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming, so if you’re looking for some craft projects, or handmade gift ideas, check out my Crafty...
