It's Football Season...Show Your Spirit!


The weather is beautiful this week and it finally "feels" like football season! Here's a super easy craft to show your school spirit. 


I hosted an informal craft day a couple of Saturdays ago at my house with some really fun, creative friends. I had a blast crafting with Amanda from My Heart's Desire, Melony from Cleverly Creative Girl and Kennita from Random.Acts.Of.KINDness. Even though we had some healthy team rivalry going on, we still managed to make some cute door decorations. (That is Amanda above-I'm a HOG fan...no offense Ole Miss fans!)



We simply cut football shapes (except for Kennita's paws) out of inexpensive brown burlap, donned them with our school colors in acrylic craft paint, stapled them together and stuffed with plastic grocery bags.  Add some cute ribbon and you're done-easy peasy! 

  

Be sure and check out the other girl's posts-I think theirs turned out a lot cuter than mine.



Amanda has a great tutorial on her blog-to see it click HERE.

Cute Valentine Door Decor


I love my friend Amanda's blog; My Heart's Desire. She has fabulous recipes, cute kids, and does a wonderful job of sharing her heart-plus she's a really sweet person : ) I just had to show you the adorable Valentine's Heart she made for her doors. It reminded me of a pumpkin door decor tutorial I did last year, and I had every intention at the time to make one for every holiday-Easter eggs, flowers, etc.... But of course, it never happened. Amanda's turned out so cute I think I'm inspired to make some more-better get started on my Easter eggs now!

Hop on over to My Heart's Desire to see the tutorial for this great Valentine's Door Decor.




Here's a couple of tips I found helpful in addition to Amanda's tutorial: Recycled plastic bags work great for stuffing; I stapled the edges for extra security (staples don't show) and you need to use a spray indoor/outdoor clear coat or your paper will get soggy when it rains. I've also got my tutorial here.
