Ucreate- January Create with Me

Kari from Ucreate, has a "Create with Me" challenge each month.
She showcases a projects and everyone can make it along with her and send her a picture of the finished product.

I decided that I would participate for the month of January after I saw what is was- a simple rosette frame.

I had the frames and some of the fabric already but I bought some more fun fabric and finally got to work on it.

Here is what I came up with.

I just painted my frames white because I wanted the flowers to pop.

I made one with rosettes with orange, white, green and pink fabric.


The second frame I decided to make some pom-pom flowers instead with this fun multi-color fabric. I love it!!

What do you think?

I am so happy that I decided to participate in the January Create with Me.
Hopefully, I will be able to do it more often.

These frames were so simple and I plan to make more of them.
These two will end up in my Etsy shop real soon.

I hope you will check out Ucreate. That blog is awesome!
And join in with me, Kari, and everyone else for the Create with Me challenge each month.

My Valentine Shutters + a Tutorial

I love to change my shutters up with the seasons or holidays and with Valentine's Day coming up, I was excited to think of what I was going to do.


This is how they turned out.I love it!
And I redecorated it for FREE! :)

Here's a tutorial on how I made the heart in the center.
I started by cutting out a heart on my Cricut.
I did "fit to page" to get the largest heart possible.

I then traced the heart onto some thin cardboard I had lying around.
I have NO idea where I got this cardboard but I'm glad that I am a pack rat and for some reason knew I should keep it! :) Have another piece left too.

Traced heart.

Then, I just cut out the heart.

I painted it a light pink base coat.

I wanted to add some different layers, so in a darker shade of pink, I painted in a smaller heart.

I then painted little X's to look like stitches in a peachy-orange.

In a dark pink, I painted the word love but I wasn't too fond of it so I was going to glitter over it but decided to do something different.

I pulled out some little beads I use for scrapbooking that just so happen to be all the colors I was using and just glued them down over the word.

I then wanted to add some ruffles to the edges to make it a little larger and also for added texture. So I took out some streamers that I had in hot pink and just put a bead of hot glue down.

I laid down the streamers on the glue overlapping as I was placing it down to create the ruffles.

I then just glued down the extra streamers to lay flat.

Almost done!

I glued down a band of white yarn on the edges to clean up the edge a little.
Then just glued some ribbon to the back to hang it.

I wasn't too fond of it at first, didn't turn out like I pictured in my head, but it has slowly grown on me. I still don't LOVE it but it will do.


Here's a closer look at the other shutter decor.
I just cut some paper to fit my frames and cut out X's and O's on my cricut and glued them down. Easy, easy!

I then wanted to add a garland. Debated over a few ideas and then decided it would look so cool to make crepe paper rosettes as a garland. So I made my rosettes just like I did for my wreath and then just strung them on clear thread so they look like they are suspended.

Tied them onto my shutters and I LOVE THEM!

You can't tell, but I also sprayed them with some spray glitter for a little shimmer. It is very subtle but I love it!

There you have it!
How do you like my Valentine shutters?!

Mirrors and Candlesticks... Oh my!

That title seems kinda... well take it as you will. lol

I told you all in my Tickled Pink post that I would share what I bought there later and today's later.


I got these adorable little green glass candlesticks. I love the color of them.
They were $1.50 I believe maybe less.

I also bought these taller blue glass candlesticks.
I think these were $1.99.
I can't remember.

Then I bought this blue glass bowl.
This was $2.

I got this mirror with plans to use it in my frame collage in our bedroom.
This was $2 as well.

And this is the last thing I purchased that day and I believe my favorite.
I randomly picked it up and wasn't sure about it at first. I didn't take a picture of the back but it is faded crushed velvet and looks rather old. We both got pretty excited about it then and I know it will look fabulous in a new color. It may end up in our bedroom or some other place in the house. I haven't decided.
It was $4.


I planned to make cake stands and candy bowls with the candlesticks and Travis put them all together for me this weekend while I was baking. So I will take a picture of what they look like now and share that soon.

Have you been thrifting recently and found anything cool?!
