Pinterest addict

So a good friend of mine introduced me to Pinterest and I am an addict.  My husband is actually wondering why the brown truck is stopping at our house a few times per week now or I am coming home with bags from Joanne's or Hobby Lobby....

I get so inspired by pins on pinterest and say "I can do that" that I go get the materials and get busy.

So this week's projects (2) are to decorate for Halloween.

The first is subway art (free download)....I bought a cheap white frame from Ikea and spray painted it with a hammered black.  Printed my subway art onto 8x10 photo paper and placed it next to this great 1/2 price wooden carved pumpkin I picked up at Joanne's!

The second - I have done before (I made the Santa last Christmas and a Ho-Ho-Ho for my best friend)...but this design I pinned on Pinterest and loved how they were hung with ribbon.  I found paper mache letters at Joanne's (super light weight) and spray painted the back/sides.  Picked up the Halloween Scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby (50% off for a big 12x12 pad!!!) and pulled out the modpodge.  I added a few K&Co embellishments and have it hanging in the kitchen on the pantry door!

Enjoy!

Love Birds...

It's that time of year.... time to start Halloween and Christmas cards and also stock up on my everyday/occasion cards for those great 12 pack christmas gifts.

Here is one for an anniversary or wedding.

I love the inside statement:  May every day be happily ever after!

Enjoy!

I am back....

Wow - hard to believe it has been 3 months since my last post.  Summer has come and gone - filled with tons of activity..camps, vacations, back to school.  I took a few months off from scrapbooking - but now have my mojo back!

Mojo may be do in part to a new found interest - Pinterest...have you seen it?  What a great place for ideas, inspiration BUT it does become addicting and sucks up a lot of time.

So my post today is a Halloween wreath made using scrapbook paper and my cricut to cut all the stars - I saw a Christmas wreath like this on Pinterest and said how cute - and set out to make it....

Loved how it turned out.

I will be back this week with posts of some cute cards I have made this past week.

Enjoy!
