A FREE Playroom Print for those BORED kiddos!

I saw the cutest Pin on Pinterest... a snap shot some witty mom must have taken.  I loved her little whiteboard 'suggestions' so much, I had to make it up into a print!  Thank you mystery mom with a camera for this oh-so-cute idea!

This shows the print framed and matted... but will look like this straight from your local print lab :)

 

This print was created to be an 11X14 print or an 8X10 print.  To download the two different files, just click HERE!

A Giraffe Nursery.... a perfect Chevron Yellow & Grey set of Prints

Have you seen an ever so sweet yellow and grey nursery combined with giraffes??  I have and fell in love.  The grey and yellow giraffe nursery was my inspiration for these sweet giraffes combined with the words of C.G. Jung, "Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart ... Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside, awakens."

 Thanks for stopping and and taking a look at my latest creation!!

Hot Air Balloon & Somewhere Over the Rainbow Watercolor Children's Room Prints!

I have combined a handful of my passions to take a swing at creating some beautiful art pieces for children's rooms or nurseries.  I love the idea of combining quotes with beautiful pieces of art or graphics.  This is one of my first pieces, combining Hot Air Balloons, rainbows and the ever so famous "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" song quote from Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

How did I create this?  I started with a basic concept of the quote and the general image.  After sketching the image out over three sheets of paper, I water colored in the color.  Once it was dry the images were scanned into the computer where I used Photoshop to add the famous quote.

I'd love to hear what you think or your favorite quotes for children's rooms!  I am compiling a list of others that I would love to create pieces for.

Chalkboard Christmas Tree Printable

I just love all of these chalkboard printables that are floating around Pinterest... and to confess, I am a bit addicted to making them!  Here is my latest creation... cropped as an 8X10 to place in any frame that is just lying around the house to add a little extra Christmas charm to that mantle!?

Just click on the picture to download for free.  When printing it may warn you that the quality is poor, but because it is not a photograph, it will print fine!

The Girls' Focal Wall

So my sweet baby girl is now 4 months old and I am finally getting around to finishing her and big sissy's room.  When big sis was born, the room was custom designed just for her... but when sweet little sis came along, we made the big decision to have the girls share... which was great; less work for me to do to prepare for baby #2, but at the same time very sad, well, because there was less work that I got to do!  So... with a few furniture changes (big sis got a new bed!), I was left with a wall to decorate- woo hoo!

Of course, I started this whole process when I was 8 months pregnant... why not, right!?

I, the always frugal and thinking how can I make do with what I have, scrounged through a box of old frames and begged one very willing father in law for some ugly old black mirrors that once hung in my hubby's garage.  I came up with a general layout and knew I wanted to add in some sisterly quotes and other fun projects I have seen on Pinterest as well.  Yes... that belly was crawling around on our living room floor to do this!

After prepping all the frames, I begged the hubby to please, please, please spray paint this stack white, this stack blue, and this stack pink, and he obliged because that's just the kind of awesomeness he is.... and we turned that into this!

And the longer I thought about this wall piece, the more things I realized we already had that would work perfectly... like the random canvas picture of our first daughter, some clay handprints, and some other random frames gathered from around the house.  One of the mirrors I decided to leave a mirror while the second frames I used to create a much needed bow holder.

And then everything just sat.... baby girl came and everything just sat!  The world just seems to spin on without you when you have a newborn.  But now, four moths later, tadah!  The focal wall is up.
