Father's Day Cards

I finally pulled out my Cricut again & made some Father's Day cards :)

I am so blessed to have such amazing men in my life! Even though my dad has passed away, he still influences me for good each day & I'm so grateful for the life he lived. I look forward to the time when I can see him again :) 

I never could have imagined what an amazing father Tony would be for our kids :) I feel so honored to be married to him & they are SO lucky to have him!

 Tony's dad has also had a profound influence in our lives & my kids are so blessed to have such an awesome grandpa! 

I hope you all have a great Father's Day!!

Bria's Room

It's so fun to have some pink in our house! 

Hanging Tulle Pom Pom's: about 2 yards folded up then fanned into a ball. I trimmed the edges a little to make it more circular. I tied ribbon around them to hang from the ceiling. I used white thumbtacks to attach the white ribbon to the ceiling.

 I had so much fun making this cute flower. The best part about it was it cost $1.50 to make. I cut each petal out of felt and then formed it into a circle and layered 3 circles. We had a bunch of clip on earrings that were Tony's grandma's so I glued one of the pearls on for the center of the flower. I found the board/frame at DI for 50 cents. It looked like ugly outdated wallpaper and I think it had a duck on it. So I spray painted it white and covered it with a flower :)

 I found this giant vinyl sticker at the Scrapbook Expo about 3 years ago for $1. Now I can finally use it!

 I made this B for Bria's room out of buttons and a blank canvas. It turned out okay but I'm not quite sure how I feel about the font yet :)

I was so excited once we finally chose a name for our sweet baby. I was even more excited when I found out what it means: "Noble, Strong, & Virtuous". I feel like I couldn't have picked a better meaning :) I want her to always remember it, so I put it up in her room. 

Since I've been way too busy with these awesome kiddos, I haven't been able to finish Bria's room, but at least it's a beginning! After all, these guys are definitely what matter most!!!

Welcome Home

I have always loved cute front doors! The front door at our last house was really squeaky and not in the best shape. I was so happy to get a new door when we moved here :) 

It's a normal basic steel door so I decided to cut out our house number with my Cricut and put on it. 

I also got this cute "F" from the Wood Connection and painted it. Then added some simple burlap ribbon and berries.

 I love how it turned out :) simple but fun!

CRICUT!!!

Last month my sweet sister Amy invited me to go with her to a Christmas Cricut Blogging Party. It was so fun to go to and to learn more about this great company! I was very impressed. I was even more impressed when the employees of Cricut delivered a Cricut Mini right to my door for free! They even included a free mat, some vinyl, and a cutting kit! I was so excited!!!

Things were pretty crazy with moving into our house and with Christmas and the holidays but I finally busted out the Cricut and have had so much fun playing with it! Using it has given me tons more ideas!  My first project was cutting vinyl for my big bins/buckets of food storage. I have five different ones that are the same size and never remember what is in which one --wheat, sugar, flour, beans, or rice. 

Amy helped me get to know the Cricut Craft Room Program and we quickly came up with these cute labels for them :)  

  

Aren't they fun!?! It makes me want to use my food storage more :)

I can't wait to see what other fun things I can do with this Cricut :)
