Spring is Here!

So... my most favorite blog in the whole entire world is the House of Smiths. In fact, if I could I would pay her to come to my house and change EVERYTHING! Shelly is amazing and her style is PERFECT. Love it! I was stocking looking through her blog and found her adorable Spring Board. I loved it and e-mailed it to the So Craftalicious girls like 5 times begging to make it. Thank goodness they loved it too cause I was dead-set on making that baby, with or without them.

So... here is the tutorial on how to make the rosettes. They're SO much easier than they look and once you get one or two down, you're good to go. Don't burn your fingers with the glue gun... that's my only advice.

Oh... and here's another tidbit of information: When you get your wreath, we all went with straw wreaths. I used a 10 inch wreath which is pretty big compared to the House of Smiths' board. If you can find a smaller one, go for it. If you like it big, then go with the 10 inch.

I made a cute topiary to go with the board. I got a topiary foam form from thing Hobby Lobby. I just added the flower pot, green mossy-grass stuff and glued those puppies right on the form. That's all it took. I love the way it turned out! So... thank you House of Smiths for inspiring us So Craftalicious girls!

Holy One Subway Art

Subway art is crazy in right now, huh? Well, we didn't want to leave ourselves out! The Craftalicious girls being left out... I DON'T THINK SO! We wanted to make something we could keep up all year long though. We decided to use the words of the Savior.Inspired by a sign found at  http://ishowoffcrafts.blogspot.com/search/label/holy%20names   I'm amazed at how many names we know Christ as... Light of the World, Prince of Peace, Everlasting Father... and so many more!

These projects ended up being pretty big in size. We found some AWESOME scrap wood at Lowe's... talk about lucky! We just painted the wood up, sanded of course, because it wouldn't be perfect unless there was a little imperfection added... then of course the vinyl. I love how they turned out! I did mine a deep turquoise. I decided that I'm sick of neutrals in my house! I'm desperate to add color and this was a great way to do that!

Oh... and my husband is obsessed with the "W" in Light of the World because there's an extra swirl... He's brought it up several times. Just when you don't think they care, they come up with the weirdest observations! ****sigh**** Husbands!
