Being Crafty

I love being crafty.
I am not always a good crafter.
My things sometimes look like mess and they go right in the trash.
Other times I am IN LOVE with them.
I am also a short-cut crafter.
There are often steps I leave out because I don't have time or I think it's a useless step.
Sometimes it works...and sometimes it is a big fail!
This next one..it could be better, but it will do..
I was inspired buy a canvas I saw that was covered in fabric with the words "Be You" sewn on it.
I knew right away I wanted to make one with love or family. But before making one for our living or dining room that everyone would see I thought I would try one for Saylor Girl's room. I had a frame that I wasn't using and some fabric that goes perfectly with her room. So, this was FREE!!!! I like how it turned out and I will be making another one for sure. Next time I will...
1. use a canvas, it will give it more depth. This was a thin piece of wood.
2. Make sure the background material doesn't show through the words.Monogram P
This was a random thought I had while I was trying to sleep one night.
The next day I was in Walmart and picked up a cheap black frame.
Then while in Hobby Lobby I picked out 2 pieces of scrap book paper.
Came home, cut out a P and put it all together.
Easy.
Cheap.
And nice addition to my mantle that I am reworking!

Picture collage frames
I have had these pictures hanging in the playroom for a long time.
As you can see he is very young in these photos.
I didn't want to reorder large prints so I decided to change it up a bit.


I bought some material that goes with the wall color in our playroom and added it to the back of the frames.
I then picked out some photos and arranged them until it was just right.
Taped them down.
Put the glass back on.
And I was done!
Cost...about $5!!


I love how they turned out and I can't wait to hang them back up. Now Saylor won't feel so left out when she goes in the playroom!
