Easter Place Setting

This is was a little project that my daughter and I made together since she was home for Spring break. I love the way it turned out!

Fab, Fun, Easter Ideas!

With Easter just around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect theme for today. Use your recycled cans to make adorable little candy containers for Easter. Get out out all of that fun scrapping stuff and embellish with bright ribbons, buttons, rhinestones (a favorite of mine) and use chenille stems to make decorative handles. Any container will work. Nut, coffee and soup cans work well. Glue your decorative paper to the cans and let your imagination do the rest!


Once your basket is made, impress your kids (and grown-ups as well) with these gorgeous eggs decorated from your scrapbooking stash. Trims, stickers, gems and buttons can turn your egg from ordinary into EXTRAORDINARY!
Make sure your eggs are completely dry before
trying to embellish them. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

Springtime Bedroom Revamp

Tired of that same old bedroom? Here is a great way to revamp it for Spring! Paint your walls with a deep plum color. Add punch to that boring headboard by covering it with something bright and fresh and wrap it in the middle with a yard of mod floral fabric. Try inexpensive album frames filled with patterned paper to jazz up the bare walls. Add glitz to an existing bedside table by spray painting it with metallic paint. What a difference this will make!!

Monogram Wall Hanging

Here is a custom order that I received over the weekend. I wasn't sure how to do this with all three of the initials but after a few tries this one came out the winner. I love the pink and red rhinestones together with the huge jewels! The teal ribbon really makes a statement too.

Mother's Day Ideas...

It is almost that time of the year again where all of us "Mom's" feel adored and appreciated. I love Mother's Day because it gives me time to stop everything and really cherish and remember how truly blessed I am to have such beautiful and healthy children. I don't worry about the food being thrown all over the floor, or the sassy comments that my tween has for me. Instead I just enjoy them for everything that they are and I watch in awe at how grown up they have become. My daughter is looking more and more like me every day. She has realized that "Mom" has some pretty cool clothes so she has been tearing through my closet when I am not looking. And my little guy is always doing something new and exciting to keep me and his daddy on our toes.

I know what I am asking for this Mother's Day! I found this necklace on etsy and I absolutely love it! www.beadznthing.etsy.com
What a great way to keep your children close to your heart. Personalized pendants are very popular and a fabulous gift idea. These are unique because they can also add a small birthstone to dangle with the pendant instead of the gold heart charm. Too cute!

Springtime Bling

FINALLY....... Here is the letter that I have been working on. This is sure to add flair to any child's room. These are great because they can be hung on any door knob or bed post or even directly on the wall and look great!!! I love the way this turned out and the colors are perfect together! The green ribbon really compliments the background of the aqua letter and the light pink diamond really sparkles against all of these fabulous spring colors! I love Spring!!!!

Poor Baby

Hello! I have MIA the last few days because my son who is 18 months old was running a 104 temp. We finally took him in and found out he has a double ear infection. Poor Baby! It has been a lot of sleepless night around here :) I am working on a new project that is has the new spring colors that I am excited to share with you. I hope to be able to post it tomorrow.

Better Homes and Gardens

My friend Shelley from Single Stone Studios has been published in Better Homes and Gardens! What a great accomplishment. She even made the front cover. She is the most talented, creative artist I have ever worked with and her vinyl decal designs are absolutely adorable.

If it wasn't for Shelley I would have never followed my dreams and started Whimzy Kidz Dezign. I am so glad that I met her. Check out her artwork above. Both layouts are absolutely beautiful. The birdcages are really hot right now and the way that she used the orange with the aqua blue is great. It is fresh and different. I also love the way she pulled the baroque frames in with the hand painted pillowcases and quilt covered headboard. What a fun easy makeover!

Spring Is In The Air

Look at the way these cute simple boxes are used to keep the room always looking neat and put together. You can easily make these to match any room. It is a very simple room but for someone who does not have a lot of space this is adorable!

2009 Spring Colors are In!

Here are the "hot" colors for Spring. I really like the Palace Blue and Vibrant Green. It reminds me of being at the ocean. I really like what they did with this color combo for a little girls nursery too. The bright punch of pink butterflies really makes a statement. LOVE IT!

Posh Princess Bling Crown

Here is a crown that I sell. This one was designed for a little girl who is 3 years old and her name is obviously "Ava". I am really excited to see this one hung up. The colors in Ava's room are lime green with hot pink so this crown is going look great! This is hung on my daughter's wall for the pic. What a great color combo so fresh and happy!
