Lucky in Love Scrapbook Layout




In honor of St Patty's day I put together this cute layout. I feel so lucky to have met the perfect husband for me!



I was feeling festive so I made this banner and hung it above one of the windows in the living room. 



Poang Chair Cover

So in college a friend gave me her Ikea Poang chair. The cover on it was hideous (it had a HUGE ink stain and was just dirty) I had it covered with a blanket but it was high time I made a cover for it. I used this super cute Michael Miller fabric I found at the local quilt shop. 

Love Polka Dots

This is the kitty's favorite chair, but ever since I made the cover I haven't seen her on it. Fine with me because she sheds everywhere. haha!

Small Deer Gift Bag



I love projects that I can make with scraps of fabric. It makes my stash smaller so I can buy more fabric (haha)! I think this would make a cute Mothers Day gift stuffed full of summer bulbs and maybe a homemade gardening apron?


Mr and Mrs Pillows


I used a natural fabric, freezer paper, my silhouette cameo and fabric paint to make these adorable pillows. 



They even correspond to the correct side of the bed!

I Love You Lighted Lantern Banner


I love how this turned out! I used a string of 20 battery operated lights (that I already had, score!). I used my silhouette to design and cut out the lanterns. I have it hung in our bedroom above the window, but I couldn't get a good picture of it up there so I took the picture on the floor. It would be fun with battery operated Tea lights in the lanterns too.





Felt Flower Wreath


So while I was at the dollar store I also found grapevine wreaths, pretty exciting. I used turquoise, white and grey felt to make the flowers and then hot glued a pearl bead in the center of each flower. Not too bad for $1!

Solar Powered Sun Jar

On my recent trip to the dollar store I found solar powered yard stakes! So I bought one and transformed it into a sun jar. I filled the bottom of the jar with beach glass (also sold at the dollar store). I love how the light reflects on the counter.


These would be perfect at a wedding reception, they look pretty even in the light. Next time I think I will add shells inside.

Keep Calm and Craft On!



I thought my craft room needed a motto. 

I wrapped a natural fabric around cardboard (old cereal box) and stenciled my design on with fabric paint. I designed my stencil in the Silhouette Studio software and cut it out on freezer paper. Then I added some embellishments.

Count Down to Kisses/ Valentines Decorations



I hung this on the door using a couple magnets so the hubby can't forget Valentines Day! haha! I glued a heart onto a toothpick to put in the envelope for the corresponding day. Or you could put little love notes into the envelopes. 


I used my Silhouette to cut out mini envelopes, numbers and words to complete this "Count Down to Kisses" sign. 



I also hung a sweet heart swag over the window. Valentines decorations almost done!
