Silver White Winters That melt into Spring Sign
A few years ago I found a sign that said “Silver White Winters that melt into spring” on the hymns and verses blog. I have had this sign on my to do list for what seems like a few years. Before Christmas I decided that I was going to make 2 of these signs one for Avry as a Christmas present and one for myself. I looked at the picture of hymns and verses and got to work using supplies that I had on hand. I used a piece of bead board that was already pre-cut to my desired size. I cut the lettering out of vinyl and applied it to the…

Hot Cocoa Signs
With winter in full force here and temperatures reaching below zero! Who wouldn’t want Hot Cocoa bar set up? Actually Avry has insisted that I needed one for myself for a few years now. If you remember a while back I made her a cocoa bar set for Christmas. So, this year she made me a darling box to hold all of my hot chocolate and toppings. I needed to have something to go with this cocoa box. I searched the web and found instruction’s and a free cut file for this darling cocoa sign on whipperberry blog. I fell in love with the sign and got to work making my own. I…

DIY – Flakes and Flurries Winter Wood Sign
January is blue.. Literally I take down all the Christmas Decorations and I feel a little bit of a let down that all the beautiful décor is gone. Last year I made it a goal to decorate in winter, snowflake, snowmen and ice skating themed crafts to keep my spirits up. It helped a lot last year to have new colorful decorations to put up after the hype of Christmas was over. It’s been fun incorporating different hues of blue and aqua colors into my home during the month of January. I’ve loved watching all the Flakes and Flurries come down from the sky so that too helps me enjoy Winter…

Burlap Santa Christmas Special Delivery Sack
I’ve decided that you can never have too many Christmas decorations. This next inspiration for a Santa Special Christmas delivery sack came from Fynes Designs we love her blog and are always looking to see what fun ideas she comes up with. We fell in love with her Santa Special delivery sack the second we saw it! We put a little twist on our Santa Special Delivery sack and decided to make it not only smaller but out of a soft burlap. We also needed to be able to use what we had on hand and be able to have minimal sewing. Here are our instructions: First cut a Burlap strip…

Festive Fall Signs
There are so many fun Autumn sayings out there! While we were making gifts for our Halloween party last month, we made several fun fall signs to give away as prizes. One thing I love about fall décor and signs is you can leave them up for 2 months! To create the signs I used different sizes of scrap wood that I already had. I painted each board white and then distressed the boards using a sander. I purchased some of the wording templates and used my personal cutting machine to cut the vinyl. After I placed the vinyl on the boards, I had fun embellishing them with different ribbons…

Witch Hat candy count down
I saw this idea a few years ago on Simply KellyB. I loved they idea and have had it filed away in the back of my head for some time now. I looked at her instructions and modified my witch hat count down with things that I already had on hand. She used a paper Mache hat from the craft store and punch holes to tie her ribbon through. I already had a witch hat that I had purchased from the dollar store. This is how I recreated her count down hat. I took a piece of cardboard and set the witch hat on top, I drew around the brim of…

Well Behaved Children Welcome sign
I love fun out of the ordinary sayings. I thought this saying was perfect for Halloween! It reminds me of Hansel and Gretel, and gave me quite a chuckle. I knew this fun saying needed to put on a sign. I painted a board a pumpkin orange color. Then using my personal cutting machine, I cut the saying ” Well behaved children welcome, the rest will be made into pies” out of a dark brown vinyl. Last I applied the vinyl to the center of my board. I decided to leave the sign very simple. I think the phrase says it all!

I Ain’t Afraid of no Ghosts
Because it’s Halloween and the new Ghostbusters movie just came out, I thought it would be fitting to create a wooden sign with the fun saying “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts”. I started by painting a scrap board a pumpkin orange color, next I cut the saying using my personal cutting machine out of white vinyl. I applied the white vinyl saying to the center of the board. Last I embellished the sign with some felt ghost cut outs. This was a fun prize that we gave away at our annual Halloween party this year.
