Feeling Crafty {another goal achieved}

Lately I've just felt like getting out the glue and scissors and who could forget the scrapbook paper? I love coming up with ideas using stuff I already have. Today I decided to make a welcome sign for our entry hallway.

I used these materials


... and VOILA!!!





To make this I cut squares from the cereal box (actually it ended up being two). I cut bigger squares for the backgrouds and a smaller squares to back the scrapbook paper. I liked the idea of using different shades and patterns of blue and brown. This is easier if you buy a scrapbook paper book that has the same theme and color going on. Then I just hot-glued those suckers together in a non-uniform way. I bought the flower and chipboard letters at Hobby Lobby for really cheap in the scrapbook section, but you can also make your own paper flowers and letters if you want. If you google "paper flowers" tons of ideas will come up. The clothespins and twine gives it a cool look too.

You can use this same idea for birthdays, name banners, party decoration, weddings, or pictures. Hope this inspires!
