Getting Crafty... Completed!!

As promised, here are pictures of the rest of my craft projects!

I was introduced to the Wood Connection, it is a little store in Midvale that sells wood cut outs and then has samples of them decorated so you can take pictures and remember how they decorated them once you get home! I found these cute heart cut outs and just painted them, sanded them and then just added some glitter stickers to add my "conversation" phrases! The ones they had at the store had vinyl lettering, but since I didn't have any vinyl handy... I made due with some stickers! I think they turned out pretty cute!





These glass marble XOXO's were also found on www.tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com. I thought this was such a cute idea and it was SO easy! Just a little E6000 glue, a bag of glass marbles, some scrapbook paper and 4 frames! For the x's I found the middle of the paper and marked it, then eyeballed the X from the center, outline the X with the E6000 glue, add a row of marbles, another row of glue and then another row of marbles. The o's were traced from Mason's Ironman cup, then followed the same procedure as on the X. Let the glue dry overnight and then put in the frame. Note that the glass will not fit in the frame, so just put it behind the paper so you can save it for a later use.






I made this center picture to go between my subway art using some vinyl letters I picked up at the Wood Connection and the wood heart cut out also from the Wood Connection.


And this is the final product of my cupcake wrapper wreath hanging on the new mirrors that I just hung... confession... I actually bought the mirrors before Christmas, but just got around to hanging them! As you can see from the above pictures I am a little slow in getting pictures actually hung on the wall... those are just sitting on the shelf below, they would probably be even cuter if I actually hung them!
