As you enter into this blog, you will find all sorts of DIY's from home décor to papercrafting...all created by me...a sweet & sassy woman, saved by Grace. I am always challenging my world of handmade possibilities & I am always seeking the crafty life! I hope you find lots of inspiration here!
I really wanted to capture the colors of Fall with aqua, gray, beige and a little splatter of Apricot...reaching for the warmer side of the Autumn spectrum. I also wanted a relatively easy DIY project but with the look of spending a lot of time! :). I started with a hanging wood sign that I purchased at Wal-Mart in the Fall Decor section this year. It had a hefty price tag of $2.44. LOL. I love to pack a lot of product in a small space! It allows me to layer...and then layer some more...but then in the end, create a memorable statement piece when it is finished. I used a lot of Reneabouquets Beautiful Board product this time, commemorating the 2nd anniversary of the Beautiful Board collection. Pictures are below with a full start to finish process video from my You Tube channel, as well as links to all the divine product I used from Reneabouquets.com! Thanks for stopping by!
Most of us probably have an unfinished wood piece we purchased from a craft store in our box of projects to do....I, personally, have a couple...OK...you caught me in a fib...I have more than a couple...so I decided to bring one of these wood pieces out for a Reneabouquets Design Team project. I really wanted to do something in Autumn colors, so I chose a Prima Marketing Inc paper collection called Amber Moon, which hosts a bountiful supply of beautiful colors for the Fall Season! The wood piece I am working with is 7x7 in size. What I liked about this piece is the dimension. It isn't flat, but has four raised 3x3 squares...perfect for paper dimension. I thought these squares would add some texture in the background while allowing me to layer...and layer...and layer in the foreground (You'll see what I'm talking about in the photos!). I was able to use many beautiful pieces from Reneabouquets ...including some fun Fall Beautiful Board Laser Cut Chipboard pieces...which all worked perfectly for my small but shabby piece of home décor.
I will have the links down below to all the items used from Reneabouquets.com, plus photos of this project. If you are wanting to see how I put this project together...then you're in luck! I will have the start to finish You Tube video down below as well. Thanks for stopping by!

Hey Everyone!
I get lots of requests on my You Tube channel (around the holidays) on how I make my cute tags for my product that I sell at Craft Bazaars. Well, normally, Id love to do a "how-to" tutorial and show you these things...but I'm afraid that although I do use the most recent of Windows program, the Microsoft Publisher program that I use to create my tags is not so new....OK...its like a 2002 program!!! You can now get off the floor. LOL. Buying programs is expensive, as we all know, and since this year and model still works on my computer....why should I buy a new one, right?
Sooooo, with that said, I've decided to create some printables for you all to use. This first one up is for a recent DIY tutorial upcycling wooden Dollar Tree pumpkins to make them even cuter pumpkin for home decor. Check out my You Tube link below to watch this craft and try it for yourself! Following the video link are two printables for the project. Of course, you can use these printables on any cute Autumn Home Decor project!!! I've developed the Autumn Pumpkin Phrases so that they can be punched out using a 2 inch craft circle punch or you can cut them out with scissors, of course, and mod podge or glue them on to your pieces. You can also use carbon paper for tracing and then use a sharpie marker or paint and brush to finish your design! I've made phrases or single words that you can mix and match! The Hand Drawn Leaves printable can be used to make your own leaves
using fabrics such as felt or burlap (or even the Dollar Tree burlap ribbon that is 2 inches wide can be used). Simply download the printable and size it according to your needs, trace your favorite design onto the fabric or ribbon, cut it out and use it for your project!
