Land that I Love...

The other day while I was at the Dollar Tree I found these great tinsel covered stars...I scooped up three thinking I could do something with them for my front door for the Fourth.  Then while I was at Hobby Lobby I grabbed wooden letters {USA}. I shared my inspiration with a few friends... So today a few of us  got together to make this quick patriotic craft to display on our doors....  They were really easy and cheap!!! And I love how it turned out!!!!

Here is what you'll need if you want to make your own:

3 stars from the dollar tree {although my friends found hearts instead of stars and those were cute 2}

Wooden letters U S A from Hobby Lobby

Ribbon

Hot Glue

Paint to paint your wooden letters...I spray painted mine white and then used the end of a pencil eraser to polka dot mine and a paint pen to stripe my "S"

Leave the tag hanger on your top star so that you can hang it from your door...it is silver so it looks festive still!

Happy Fourth!!!

We Got Our Craft On....

When I came across RestlessRisa's carrot tutorial on google a few weeks back I knew it would be the perfect craft to do with my group of girlfriends for our first "Get Your Craft On" night!  I love how mine turned out and it was a big hit with all the girls!!! See her tutorial for the 411...{My carrot used almost a full yard of burlap and I hot glue the tar out of it ;) }

Here is a close up of mine with the tag I came up with and instead of the ribbon {because I didn't have any black with white polka dot} I used a ripped strip of fabric and liked how it turned out!!!

And here's a shot of our "bunch" o' carrots ;)

Thanks Risa for the idea and tutorial...we had so much fun getting together and making fun Easter door decor!  P.S. I really like how the baby carrots turned out too...making one of those this weekend for my classroom door:)  One piece of foam board made two mini size carrots!

Crafting AGAIN!!! Woot Woot!!!

My national board portfolio is in the mail, and all is well with the world in my world...just ask the hubs ;)

I created this little door hanging over Christmas break but haven't had a chance to share it yet!

It was so easy...I SWEAR I took pics of the first couple of steps, but I cannot find them anywhere...I took a $3.00 Wal*Mart frame that I had broke the glass out of...hot glued some polyfill to the back piece of the frame, covered it with burlap...pulling it tight as I hot glued it...then I used black acrylic paint on some rubber stamps to stamp the word home and the cute little heart. I sanded the frame a little, and hot glued the little flower I had in my scrapbooking stash to the corner...then I twisted some wire to the brackets on the back of the frame...I.BIG.FAT.RED.PUFFY. HEART this on my front door!
