Not Satisfied With Any Old Vinyl Sign

When I was asked by a customer to make a unique sign for her new home, you know I jumped at the chance! It's so fun to open that creative door and see what can happen. Here is what I came up with to "spruce" up a regular vinyl sign to match her primitive/country decor:

First, I added scrapbook paper to a distressed drawer front.

 Then vinyl was added but I dressed it up with some fun bling!

Much better than a plain old vinyl sign don't you think?



 

Ladybug - Butterfly Kisses and Ladybug Hugs

Do you have any Ladybugs in your home?  I do!  I have two little girl ladybugs that definitely give the best ladybug hugs.  However, we also found a real, live ladybug in our house today!  I can't believe it - February in Eastern Oregon is cold and snowy!  What a little fighter!  We are keeping her around, the girls say she is a keeper!  Wishing you a happy week with lots of ladybug hugs!

Jingle Bells - It's Snowing!!!

It is officially snowing....and sticking.... at my house.  The kids are celebrating.....I'm warming up to it!  However, it does have me singing some winter songs:

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Harvest Blessings Sign On an Old Window Screen

As you might have guessed from the name of my blog - I love pumpkins! I know it's not quite fall, but when homeschooling starts around my house, my crafting time gets squeezed quite a bit.  So, fall it is!  I tried a new technique this week - and I really like how it turned out.  Of course, I've got to share it with all of my bloggy friends!  Have you tried painting on an old window screen?

I love how you can still see through the painting!

This was so much fun to do!  After painting the pumpkin on the screen, I added additional paint and distressing to the frame.  Then to dress it up, I sewed this little fabric banner dipped in coffee. The "Harvest Blessings" were printed from my computor using transfer paper.  I couldn't resist adding the rusty star garland as a final rustic touch.  What do you think?
