Father's Day Gift From Kids

For Father's Day this year, I wanted to find something that my kid's could help with. Right now my son is a month from turning three and my daughter is one. Jack is starting to understand gift giving so he got excited when I came to him with a craft idea that he could help with to give to daddy!

 

So I traced their little hands onto scrapbook paper, which was no easy feat with my one year old. And I added this quote: "Daddy, no matter how big we get, we will always reach for you!"

I also dated it "Father's Day 2012" at the bottom so my hubby can look back and see how teeny their little hands were on this particular special day.


Happy Father's Day, everyone! And Happy Crafting, as always! Read more

Saturday Spotlight #90

WELCOME, crafty friends!

 This week I worked on my Seashell Ship in a frame for my nautical themed bathroom.

Let's see what you've done!

RULES:

1) First, create a blog entry about something you made yourself. Post our Saturday Spotlight button under your post or somewhere on your blog so that others can find all of your awesome links at Saturday Spotlight. Our linky party button is on the right side of our blog. Just copy the html code to the bottom of your blog post. If you would like to keep it somewhere else on your blog where others can see it, that's also ok.
2) Next, add your blog post name down below and then add the link of the blog entry about your project (not your homepage) . To get your link, click on the title of your blog post that you would like to enter and then copy the address that appears in the address bar up top, and paste it down below. It should look about like this: http://yourblogname.blogspot.com/2009/07/your_project.html.

Here are some highlights from the past week's party:

Nautical Souvenier Decor

My family and I took a vacation to Frisco, Colorado this past May and we picked up this little souvenier that's a little ship made out of seashells (since Frisco is on a reservoir). But I thought when I hung it up that it needed a little something to frame it. So this is what I came up with...

 

 

I got this gold frame from some relatives of mine who were moving and getting rid of "junk". So I painted it white and added white and navy blue cardstock to the back of the frame. I think it all came together quite nicely. It's going to be the superstar of my boring all-white bathroom in my basement! Once I get that all pimped out I will post the make over!
