We are six friends who love to share our crafty ideas with each other and all of you! :) We love being moms (there are 21 little ones with one on the way between us) and we love to be creative. Our blog has lots of fun crafts, recipes, tips, home decor ideas, and fun ideas for moms & their little ones.
I love this blog and I am so excited to be guest posting today!
I am the mom to six beautiful children. Two of them are girls, Kylie & Lily Pearl, who are seven years apart in age. My Kylie was SO excited to have a sister after having four brothers, so she insisted that they share a room. So, I had to come up with some decorating ideas that were 'big girl' but still really sweet and cute. I came up with this for the wall above my Kylies daybed...
I wanted something cute and personalized. I LOVE photos and my girls sweet little faces, so I printed a 12x12 photo of each of them at Costco (love it) and put them in a 12x12 frame (I got mine at Hobby Lobby). Next, I made the word art.
You will need:
Scrapbook Paper
Mod Podge
Wood (cut in different sizes)
I was going to have my husband cut me some wood, but I found these wood boards in the wood section of Hobby Lobby. They are WONDERFUL!!! They are already cut in some fun sizes, they are already sanded, and they were inexpensive.
I traced each board on the back of my scrapbook paper and cut it to fit.
Next, I Mod Podged the paper onto each of the boards and let it dry.
Finally, I used my handy dandy Silhouette to cut some words out of vinyl. I let my daughter choose some of the words. I loved that she wanted sparkle and shine. :) She does sparkle and shine, so it is perfect! I wanted words that reflected their personalities.
I then hung my photos in the center and just hung the words kind-of randomly all around them.
I LOVE how it turned out!
Happy Crafting Everyone!!!
