Frames Craft

I try to find crafts that are interchangeable with the seasons.  There are so many holidays that have "WORD" associated to them.  It got me thinking of how I can use these "WORDS"  to decorate. 
I bought 4 different sized frames at the dollar store.  I then went though my scrapbook paper to find paper pieces that went with each holiday.  I then started to think of 3 or 4 letter words that would go with each season or holiday.  This is want I came up with....
SNOW, LOVE, LUCK, RAIN, SUN, STAR, FALL, BOO, NOEL. 
You could really have fun with this, & you could also add a frame for 5 letter words if you wanted.  I cut the words out of vinyl with my Silhouette.
I did end up buying a few pieces of paper to go with a certain season or holiday, but over all I didn't spent much.  

See Christmas to take a look at NOEL!

Valentines Craft #1

I don't have a lot of Valentines crafts, so I decided it was time to make some. I think that my 1st craft is my favorite.  It was very easy & very cheap make.  I got the strofoam balls at the Dollor Tree, & the candy at my local grocery store.  I hotglued the candy onto the strofoam balls, and that is it!  DONE!!

Christmas Crafts

I made a few new crafts to add to my Christmas decorations.  I made this with picture frames from the dollar store. I then found some scrapbook paper that I liked, cut it to fit the frames & Cut the letters out on my Silhouette. Cheap, Quick, Simple & cute!

 Next was my JOY blocks!  My husband cut out the blocks for me.  I painted the blocks white, when dried, I sanded the corners.  I then found some scrapbook paper that I liked,  cut it just a bit larger than I wanted and then torn and inked the edges.  I then mod poged the paper to the wood blocks.  I cut the letters with my Silhouette.  Adhered the letters, and added the embellishments (ribbon and buttons as holly).  This was simple.  I already had everything at home, so it really cost me nothing but time.  I made a few of these to give away as gifts, because I was so please with how they turned out!
