spring smart phone wallpapers

I haven't created new smart phone wallpapers lately and I finally came up with a few new ones today. I love floral and couldn't resist creating this new spring-y floral print. And gingham is always cute. Simply click the picture to make it larger, save it to your phone and set it as your wallpaper.
Enjoy!

heart door mat

I think it's pretty obvious that I have an obsession with hearts. I came across a door mat that I loved and while at Ikea one day I found the perfect rug to use for it. This rug was $4.99...can't beat that, plus it has a nice rubber backing on it that keeps in it place on our porch.


I cut a heart out of vinyl and centered it on the rug. 
You could easily use paper, the vinyl didn't even stick to the rug.


Using a sponge brush and paint work from the outside in, as long as you aren't pushing brush strokes outward the stencil will work great.

It was difficult to get a solid coat with this rug but it looks like it's supposed to be that way anyway. 
I let it dry over night and then put it out on our porch. I love it! 

A happy little mat for our front porch :)

Happy Monday!

chalkboard art printable

I found a super cute frame at Hobby Lobby the other day and I knew I wanted some art to go in it rather than a picture. I had seen this quote on Pinterest awhile ago and loved it. I have always been a huge fan of JM Barrie and knew this was the perfect quote for my new frame.

I drew up this little chalkboard design today and thought I'd give it away as a freebie for all of you.



Enjoy the free chalkboard art printable!!

craft room progress

We moved into our new house February 15th and I am slowly making progress on decorations. My sister in law had a great idea to cover a bulletin board in fabric and ever since she made hers I have wanted to make one. Well I finally got around to it and I love it! I still need to add more fun things to it but so far, I love it!

I started with a plain bulletin board (terrible pictures!)



I wrapped fabric around it and stapled it to the back. My sister in law used spray adhesive which I think works equally as well.



And here it is hung up with a few things on it. It now lives above my sewing desk and adds a little happy to the room. I am determined to get some little flowers for the bucket! I downloaded this free printable and colored it in. I've added a little garland to the top since taking this picture and that really added to the "cuteness".


I want mine to be more of a piece of art than functional.
What do you have on your bulletin board?
