The Monster Makeover has begun! I’m redoing my boys room with monsters, and the main attraction will be these fantastic monster paintings/portraits. Love. Them. I bought the Bump in the Night Cricut Lite cartridge specifically for this project, and look at all these great monsters! Boys stuff is getting better everyday, yes? This project is … Read more
Almost a year later I am still in love with the wall decor in Linus’ room. I’d like to add a few more frames and icons eventually, but for now it’s perfect. I found frames at a thrift store, spray painted them green, and hung them without the glass framing some white vinyl Cricut images. … Read more
For Elliot’s birthday last month we got him some more Quadrilla marble run pieces and a new scooter. I didn’t have time/energy to figure out how to wrap an already assembled scooter, so I left it in the car and made a scavenger hunt for him instead. Here’s what you’ll need: cardstock envelopes Cricut or … Read more

I chose patterns that had more angles than curves so the edge stitching would be easier. (The flower and leave patterns are from Walk in My Garden and the bird is from Home Decor.) The process … Read more

I just finished this fabulous calendar using the Designer’s Calendar Cricut cartridge (that I got on Black Friday!), and I’m thinking a customizeable calendar is a pretty great gift idea for this Christmas! I bought a large white board at Walmart ($15), wrapped the edges in black electrical tape, and drew a calendar grid in … Read more
