Clean and simple birthday cards

I admittedly was in a hurry when I made these two card so I had to go the clean and simple route! I was on my way out the door to spend the day with my Mom and step-dad and it hit me- oh crap, it's their birthdays! Better make a card real quick! I know, I'm a terrible daughter. Hey, at least they were on time unlike the rest of my cards lately...

Mother's Day- Three ways

 I've been really into the office supply type embellishments so for Mother's Day, I used them three different ways with the same layout. Here we go...

I used my date stamp from Project Life, the tab die is from Die-namics, and the rolodex index cards- I honestly can't remember who makes those but I love them. The clip is from Tim Holtz, but in reality they were a little silly because I couldn't fit the cards in the enveloped so I had to stick them in without sealing it. All the stamps are from Papertrey Ink

Twisted Sketches #104- Animal

This week's twist at Twisted Sketches is "animal". I was going through some older craft stuff and found a sheet of large stickers with this acorn one and I love the Papertrey Ink Forest Friends so I combined the two to make this little number...

 

Bathroom

So a few months ago, my dog decided to be a jerk and he ripped up (shredded is actually more accurate) our entire bathroom floor. And let me tell you, our bathroom was already in rough shape so that just put it over the edge! Here are some before pics:

who makes a counter top like this?!

this is our floor all ripped up from our dog!

And last but certainly not least, here was our peeling ceiling!

Now here are some afters:

New floor!

Ceiling not peeling because we actually have a fan now!

And last but certainly not least, new everything else...and the dog checking out the new floor- STAY AWAY!

Mason jar vases

My friend Nicole's birthday was this past weekend and she loves Ball jars (let's be honest, I'm pretty obsessed myself!). Her house is decorated in fun bright colors so I chose colors that would go along with her home decor. I took Ball jars and then spray painted them with Rustoleum in two coats. I chose Rustoleum because it says it works for plastic so I figured why not glass too right?! Also, they had the greatest selection of colors to choose from!

Here are the jars by themselves drying (dried in about 3 hours)

In the meantime I made a little box to put them in, including this label and some coordinating fabric inside the box

Finally, in the box they went with some Lily of the Valleys from our yard. We have hundreds of them!

But they wouldn't quite stay put so I added some moss around them for support, and I think it add a little extra something!
