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…

Coca-Cola Float holiday gift basket & Coat Drive
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and The Coca-Cola Company. All opinions are mine alone. #LayerOnLove #CollectiveBias Growing up in Idaho and now living in Utah I have seen first hand what a cold snowy winter feels like especially without a coat. There have been mornings in the winter months that I have been driving on my way to work and have seen children and teenagers standing at Bus stops or walking to school without a nice warm coat on. Every year myself, my friends and my family try to find ways to give back to the community or partner up with a good cause…

Glittered Wooden Ice Skates
I always feel a little sad after all my Christmas decor is down. I miss the twinkling lights and all of the fun bright colors. So, I want the transition after the holidays not to be so gloomy. I’ve created a beautiful display of snowflakes and ice skates in my home to still keep the winter theme throughout January. I’ve incorporated silver, aqua and winter white into my January. I’ve been looking for some real ice skates throughout the summer at garage sales and couldn’t ever find any. (but I’m not willing to give up yet) So I searched out a cute pattern of Ice skates and found this pattern…

Snowflake Charger
I love after Christmas shopping! Finding all those great deals items marked 75-90 percent off. While I was doing a little after Christmas shopping, I came across these darling ice blue chargers. They were marked 80 percent off, the minute I saw them I knew I could use them for a January themed decor. I snatched them up for .50 each! Next I came home and found a detailed snowflake image. I cut the snowflake out of white vinyl using my personal cutting machine. I centered and applied the snowflake to the charger. Last I hot glued a few silver jewels to make it pop! This project took about 10…

Vintage Winter Carnival Board
I have been feeling like my January décor is still lacking. I have been looking for ideas to add to my home décor. I came across a vintage winter carnival design online. I really liked the idea. The sign I found had a lot of yellow and red in it, I wasn’t really digging the color scheme it was done in. I decided to design my to own to fit with my blue and white winter décor for January. I used most of the same wording and added a few of my own ideas to the winter contest area of the board. I designed the wording using my personal cutting…

Reversible Snowman & Scarecrow board
My sweet neighbor had mentioned a while back she was interested in making a board similar to this one. She had posted a picture and asked if anyone wanted to help her make one. While I was deciding what I would be giving or making for my neighbors for Christmas, I knew that I must make my wonderful neighbor this fun snowman scarecrow board. I used a piece of primed bead board, Which I distressed first. Next I painted chipboard circles and cut a carrot nose shape out of chipboard. I painted the chipboard black and nose piece orange and then sanded the edges. I painted the top 1/4 of…

Jack Frost Sign
Christmas and New years celebrations wind down and all those fun decorations get put away. January can be kind of bleak and boring! Last year we started making decorations for January. This year we have decided to make a few more fun things to add to our January decorations collection. We are going with a blue and white winter theme. A while ago I cut out several of these bracket board shapes. We painted the bracket boards white and then cut a few different snowflakes out of vinyl using my personal cutting machine. We placed the vinyl snowflakes all over the board and then painted over top of the snowflakes…

Ice Skate Rentals
Here is another great way to decorate for January, using Ice Skates. Avry found several cute ideas using ice skates and then I jumped on the wagon and made up this fun little sign for Ice Skate Rentals. I started out with some old kitchen décor boards. They were in the donate pile and then I thought I could reuse those, I pulled them out and gave them a coat of gray paint. While they were drying, I set up a template with the wording and pair of ice skates. I cut the wording out of a teal vinyl using my personal cutting machine. I cut the vinyl about…

For this wreath I went along with the snowflake theme for winter, and to match my giant marquee snowflake Avry made me. I hit up the stores today and…

Snowflake picture stand “Frosty’s Baby Picture”
Snowflake picture stand “Frosty’s Baby Picture” I love the idea of Frosty’s baby picture. I saw this idea on Pinterest yet the one I saw was a block of wood with a simple snowflake painted on and a caption below the snowflake that said Frosty’s baby picture. For this project I chose to make a layered picture frame stand. To make this I used a candle stick, a thick 4×6 frame and a decorative craft frame found at Michael’s. I painted my regular frame and candle stick white the decorative craft frame blue and added glitter. Next, I glued the decorative craft frame on top of the regular frame, and…
