Frozen Valentine's Day Mantel

I'm throwing a small family Frozen party for Wynn in a few weeks for her fifth birthday. I also enjoy doing a mantel for most of the holidays. I shared my frozen heart project the other day, and added a few more items with it to place on my mantel.

I used my Christmas trees and just got out scrapbook paper hearts, and tied them on.  Then I filled a Dollar Tree vase with fake snow, and a little bit of Easter basket filler for the blue. I put a foam snowflake onto a purple straw.  All items I already had in my house. No need to go and spend money on additional decorations.  Plus, I am really trying to reel in the unnecessary extras in my storage area.  I added some pom pom yarn to the front. I thought it looked like little snowballs. This yarn has been used in many of my projects. I am definitely getting my money's worth with it.

I used my Silhouette Cameo and cut out scrapook paper letters, and vinyl snowflakes. I used the vinyl because I had run out of purple scrapbook paper. I just used a little bit of glue to attach the letters. This is one of Wynn's favorite verses from the movie Frozen, and so I thought it was appropriate for Valentine's Day as well.  I plan on moving it to the front door as a non-wreath door decoration for her party.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my newest mantel. I had a lot of fun putting it together rather quickly. Hope you have a great day!

Burlap Egg Craft & Spring Mantel

I apparently cannot get enough of the burlap canvases at Michaels. I made this simple project for my spring mantel at my girls craft night. I went with the same concept of my burlap monogram. It was fun and easy to do.

I layered a piece of scrapbook paper and a doily using spray adhesive. Then I cut out a circle shape from a moss mat I purchased from Hobby Lobby. I topped that off with a blue robin's egg. I am making one of these for each of Wynn's teachers for Easter too. 


It looks cute with my Easter decorations on my mantel this spring. I have my Easter Printable I shared up there along with my Spring Wreath I shared last year. I paired my new Egg Burlap piece with a wooden bunny from the Etsy Shop by Amy at  While Wearing Heels. I love it!

It is finally beginning to feel like spring here in Maryland, and so this mantel finally feels appropriate. Hopefully we are done with the snow. Enjoy your day!

Christmas Mantel & Other Holiday Decor

Here is my simple and sweet Christmas mantel. Given that I have limited time on my hands I knew I had to put together a mantel that would require little work on my part. I took my recently created cabinet door chalkboard and created a sign.

I also took my glass outdoor lantern I scored at Lowe's on clearance at the end of the summer for $7 and filled it with silver and gold ball ornaments. I placed a larger tree on the opposite side that scored from Marshalls a few years ago. 

 For the sign I took a candle wreath I purchased last year on clearance at Michaels for less than a dollar and made it the "O" in Joy.

Just nearby under my television I added some more holiday decor pretty quickly as well. It is nice now to be able to pull some things out of bins that I can use each year instead of shopping for new decorations.  I took a few pictures of this space to share with you as well.

I hope you are enjoying your holiday season. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spring Monogram

I'll admit that I enjoy and am slighting obsessed with any type of monogram or letter project. I bought a handful of these paper mache V's from Hobby Lobby.   I simply applied some scrapbook paper to the front of it with mod podge.  Thanks to my mother in law for giving me a huge pile of scrapbook paper a few weeks back.  Then added a little flower with a pom center from leftover flowers from my spring jar project.  This will have a home soon somewhere in my house. 

Thanks for stopping by!
