Framed Name

For my neices first birthday I wanted something that I could give her that wasn't traditional- like toys and clothes. I don't live by her and miss her and wanted something more thoughtful than your average gift. I asked my sister what her rooms theme was and she said it was earth tones and foresty. When she said that I knew I had the perfect frame. I just couldn't decide what to put in it. I played with so many phrases, first and last name placements, and I decided what I liked so much was the old antiqued wood frame, and I didn't want to draw attention away from it. So I did her name, and a simple "I am a child of god" across it.

Simple.

Thanksgiving Plaque

I wanted something big to sit by my front door during Fall/Thanksgiving. I ran across this quote and just adored it. Doesn't it say exactly what we are so thankful for this time of year?

Christmas Plaque

These words go on the other side of the large Thanksgiving plaque I made. It sits outside by my front door. It's a beautiful reminder of what's so great about this time of year. And yes, mine is totally crooked.

Santa Wreath

I love love love this wreath. The original version I saw was made of burlap. My last two wreaths were made of burlap so I wanted something different, but when I went to Hobby Lobby they had a minimal amount of red burlap and said it was back ordered 3 weeks, so I figured I could switch it up a little bit. I used red felt and made the belt with burlap and scrapbook paper. Super cute!


My sister in law ordered one but thought it needed a little something. So I added Ho Ho Ho to it. Very nice touch!

Kit includes: wreath, felt cut into 2" squares, straight pins, ribbon for hanging, black burlap, and precut belt buckle. (if you want the letters those will be included too)

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

When I made this, I originally used silver vinyl because I have a plethora of it, and figured it's perfect for stencils. So my original plan was to use a red board and paint white letters on it. But after webbing the vinyl I liked the way it looked. All silvery and shiney. So I left it how it was and added it to a white piece of wood. :)
