About Me

My photo
I am a wife to an awesome husband and a mom to 2 cute kids, 3 & 1. I love finding creative things to try, both with my 3 year old and on my own. It's hard to find time to be crafty between wife and mother duties, but when I find the time... it's a craftiful life! I hope some of the projects I write about will inspire you to have a craftiful life too!

Remembering Our Vows

We are coming up on our 4th wedding anniversary and I still had yet to put up wedding photos. 
So, I decided my project for the day would be to get creative and get those wedding photos up!  I found this neat project in a book I bought and thought I'd try it out.

I'm not quite sure if they will stay this way, or if after looking at it everyday will cause me to do a revision.  But for now, I'm satisfied. 


I took two canvases and covered them with fabric I liked.


Took three cheap, light silver photo frames and stuck them on with tape. (might need a little glue depending on how heavy the frame is)


Added some ribbon and paper flowers with brads.


Typed out our vows and a song that was sung on our wedding.

Now we have no excuse remembering what we promised each other that day...

My Babies

My Babies.. trying to remember what it was like when they were first born is hard sometimes. 
Time flies by... and things get forgotten. 
Hopefully these pictures will help me to remember to enjoy every minute I have with them.




Of course it's Jungle themed!

When you can't find it... make it!

I've always been one to just buy something instead of making it... mostly because I know I'll never end up getting around to making it.  Lately, however, I've become inspired and have decided that when I can't find exactly what I'm looking for... I should just make it!  It's amazing what a sense of accomplishment it gives you! :) 

Wall art is especially hard for me to find... for some reason... maybe I'm just too picky???  Anyway, since I have a handy dandy Cricut, I've decided to put it to work and create a few wall art pieces that are pretty quick and easy. 

One picture was inspired by House By Numbers canvas art.  I liked the canvas art idea and verse so I took the idea and changed it up a bit... of course the Cricut was my best friend on this one.





Another quick project I created was for my bathroom.  I needed some art that was black, white, red and grey and moisture proof... pretty hard to find!  I had a black clear picture frame already, so I just cut out some circles and voila... new bathroom art!  

The Finished Product

My inspiration came from the shower curtain
