Baby's Room - Wall Decor

Bought these raw wood letters from Joann's, painted with 2 or 3 coats of acrylic brown paint and decorated with stamps, rub-ons, ribbon, premade embellishments & stick on jewels. To make things extra secure, I used hot glue so nothing will fall into baby's crib.





Of course, if you do this you need to make sure you hang them high enough on the wall that even on baby's best day she could never pull them off and choke on any of the pieces her curious little hands might dig off. You probably already knew that but I wouldn't be any kind of mother if I didn't say it.

Baby's 1st Birthday Banner

This is not my original idea, but it was FUN to sort through pictures to make.

Bathroom decor

Our bathroom is decorated with beachy typed items. I thought this picture of Brooklyn would work well framed in the bathroom. It's her first school picture. Well, daycare picture.

This canvas mat used to hold a beach photo print and was purchased together. We decided not to frame it because it would take up precious wall space.



I used Spellbinders dies to make the seashells. I love how the dies cut and emboss but to use the dies for stenciling in color...didn't work so well. Not for me anyway. My sand dollars are a mess but since it took me forever to finish all the pieces, they stay.



I dressed up the starfish with diamond stickles. Also added this to the chipboard letters, although I haven't yet mastered how to capture the sparkle of glitter in a photograph.

Awe, my first project entry.

I made this for my sister for her birthday....



Inspiration came from this.

The picture frame cost $1...and it's matted??? Get OUT! (Dollar Store)

The flowers and leaves are die cut (Sizzix dies run through the Cuttlebug.) I love using patterned paper for leaves & stems.

The centers are cardstock coated with diamond Stickles and covered with thick layers of Glossy Accents, then pierced to look like buttons.

"happiness" is stamped on the bottom of the mat (Stampin' Up.) Usually I'm a sloppy stamper but I had one chance to get this right and *WOOT!* it came out perfect. Yay me. And there's so much dimension

It's pretty simple but I think sis will love it. I know...no real spectacular or new techniques used to make this. I thought it was neat because it's my first paper-craft wall hanging. I have ideas to make another similar project for a friend's bathroom. Can't wait!
