CUTE & CRAFTY DECORATIVE WALL ART | with Miguel

Cute and Crafty is definitely one of my favorite collections.  It has inspired me to create a series of organizers and even decorative wall art! 

I created this set of pictures to give color to my workspace, I used wooden frames which I painted with white acrylic paint, I cut pieces of chipboard, covering each piece with a different design from the collection.

I used odds and ends to decorate each picture.  I attached them with foam tape to a 3D effect. I created 3 pictures using the Odds & Ends.  For the fourth picture, I covered it with the button paper and added  the doodlebug shape sprinkles that matched perfectly.  Incredible, don't you think?

Now my creative space looks very colorful like Doodlebug, which is my totally work style and obviously my favorite brand.

I say goodbye as always hoping that my work inspires you to grow.  Thanks for reading!

Kids Craft Challenge: Captain America Framed Art by Melinda

"Make me a Captain America Shield" was the answer my four year old son gave me when I posed the question of what children's project he would like me to create with him. That probably wasn't the response I was expecting but he was insistent that was all he wanted. Next time I don't think I'll ask.

He loves the Avengers and has a few of the characters but Captain America seems to be the one he carts around with him the most. At first I had no idea how to make a shield with paper until we talked about it a bit more and he said he would like a picture to go on his wall above his bed. Now THAT I could manage.

I dragged out every red, white and blue embellishment and paper I could find after tracing the shape onto my white cardstock with an engraving tool.

There was a very eclectic mix of collections used but that didn't pose any issues as I was only after the colour and not the theme.

The finished result left me devoid of nearly every red, white and blue embellishment I had on hand but one little man was super excited to have his Captain America Art hanging above his bed.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope I have given you some inspiration for that Avenger loving little person in your family.
