Snowflake Magnets

I also made some snowflake magnets too. So easy & fast! Plus, my girls just love this kind of stuff! Yep, we're doing some pretty simple projects around here this week!

Glitter Snowflakes

Just adding to our winter decor this week. Here are some glitter snowflakes. These were so easy! I love my Big Shot machine! It hardly took any time at all to make these & my oldest daughter loved hanging them up around the house!

Happy Winter

I found this cool chalkboard sign at Tai Pan Trading (Have I blogged about that store before? It's ridiculously awesome!) & knew it would be super fun to have out front. I love the idea of being able to personalize it & write whatever I want to on it. I know that Kaylee will think it's so cool when I write "Happy Birthday" on it for her birthday this year! I bought some chalk markers so that the writing would be a little more vibrant than just using regular chalk. I decided to write "Happy Winter" on it for now & added a few snowflakes. Just adding a little touch of "winter" here in Southern California. Just don't look at the ugly sprinkler controls!

Holiday Blocks

So, yes, two days before Thanksgiving I finally finished my holiday blocks. I have been meaning to get these done all month long! Stampin' Up! now sells these 3" x 3" MDF blocks. They are $9.95 for 4 blocks. I knew that I wanted to make an "autumn" sign for on top of the TV with this super cute Autumn Spice Designer Paper since I don't have a lot of fall themed decorations for our house. Then I decided to just keep flipping the blocks around to make as many signs as I could out of them. So I made the four seasons first: autumn, winter, spring & summer. Now I can leave these up all year long!

I still had 2 other sides to decorate so I wanted to think of holidays that I don't have many decorations for. I decided on Valentine's Day & Easter to finish my blocks off.

They were so easy to make too! I picked cute designer paper then cut it to 3" x 3." Then I applied some Mod Podge to the block & stuck the paper on. Then I cut out the letters with my Big Shot & glued them onto the center of each block. Last, I covered each block in Mod Podge to seal it. So this was my first time using Mod Podge (crazy, I know) & I have to say it is awesome! I now understand the Mod Podge obsession!

Red Bird

Here's a quick card that I made yesterday. I'm lovin' this stamp set, can you tell? I've seen a lot of people making wintery cards with snowflakes in the blues & then adding a pop of color with a red bird. I love it! And I thought this stamp set worked perfectly for that same idea.
