After decorating June's door, I got into trouble by not doing something for Drake's bedroom door. I would so rather put something creative and cute on the door than have them hang their own signs that end up getting ripped off and leaving tape marks and paint chips all over. I love their creativity, so it is critical that they are involved when deciding what's on in "their" space. Since we had already done Parachutes and Airplanes in his room, it only seemed right to follow the same theme.To s …

I came across this phrase online and I wanted to use it. We have this picture frame from IKEA that I wanted to use and I thought this was a great fit. I also wanted to use Expressions Vinyl's Valentine's Day pack which contains 6 sheets of vinyl. This pack rewards you with 12 points and it had 12x12 sheets of dark red, red, purple, dark pink, pink, and white.I will save you the time from recreating this, so here is the download file for the Silhouette.

My little boy loves airplanes and parachutes!We came across this really cool army amo box from a garage sale last year.

So I added some vinyl to it and I love how it turned out!Before I cut out the vinyl, I planned out the words and the sizes and colors on …

Hi!! It's me Kaysi, from Keeping it Simple.If you have followed me at all, you know that I love to create with 2x4s. They are so easy to use and there are so many possibilities. Plus they are super cheap. I have a thing for snowmen, so I made some with 2x4s. This is how I made them:I took a 2x4 and cut it into 3 pieces for each snowman. One was 3 3/8", one was 4" and one was 5". I sanded them and then painted them white. Using some mod podge, I put some scrapbook paper onto them. I inked …
