polka dot runner

I have been looking for a runner! Now I just need to find some rugs.

I love the turquoise with the polka dots.

Home Decor Ideas

One day when we buy a home I won't know what I want to do with it because I'll have too many ideas! I saw both these via U create and loved them.

For Mom

So I wanted to make a special card for Mothers Day this year. When I saw these brag books at eighteen25(fun blog!) I thought they were perfect.

I didn't quite make it as much of a brag book as a super personalized card for them. I hope my mom and mother-in-law love them.

I made the smaller one 4 by 24 inches with 6 folds every 4 inches. And the larger 5 by 20 inches with 4 folds every 5 inches. I used the Serenade and Storybook cartridges for all the cutouts. I am loving these cartridges! The birds and branches are just too cute. I used my embossing powder to add all the black touches. I sanded the paper and used distressing ink as well.

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there!

hooks

I only have one child in school, but we already have the backpack problem. I am hoping(I won't hold my breath) that with a place to hang the backpacks it will get better. At least I will have a place to put them.

I found these hooks at JoAnns and after my coupon it was about $5. The rest was pretty simple. I took off the hardware, painted it, distressed it, put the hardware back on, then added the vinyl branch and birds. I cut the vinyl with my Cricut using the Serenade Cartridge.

It makes me happy.
