Simple Spring Feather Mantle

March 27, 2014 by Megan 4 Comments

A couple sheets of paper and my Cricut|explore was all it took to bring a little spring to my my mantle. I used the Cricut|explore to cut feathers, letters and paper bows. The feathers were clipped to the twine for bunting, put behind a frame for art and clipped to the Instagram display. A super simple way to bring some spring to our home. Just a few sheets of paper and voila! Now we just need the weather to cooperate. Amiright? ...

For the Sake of the Children

January 17, 2014 by Megan 14 Comments

When the Christmas decorations came down Eleanor was all about, what comes next? She was constantly asking to decorate. I didn't feel like decorating, but it just made the kids so darn happy that I couldn't help but share in their joy. Just a little. Kids have a way of doing that to you--of making you see the world just a little differently. I had this package of doily hearts sitting around that I gave to the kids, along with some watercolors and I let them do their thang. I ...

A Kindergarten Chic, Handmade, Colorful Christmas

December 3, 2013 by Megan 21 Comments

There are a bazillion ways your Christmas decor can go. Traditional, color scheme, industrial, metallic, glam, themed every which way. This year I decided to embrace my life now. I have a 5 year old, a 2 year old and a 7 month old. For Christmas I pictured something out of the Holiday. You know--the part where Cameron Diaz snuggles up with Jude Law's kids in that snowflake fort? So that mixed with the fun that is Land of Nod. Then I was talking to my friend Ann Marie from White House, ...

A Spooky Halloween Mantle

September 26, 2013 by Megan 7 Comments

While the kids were asleep, I had fun playing with my Halloween "mantle" -- aka: dining room console table. This year we reused a lot of things and added a few new fun things from American Crafts available at Target.     For this mantle we used the bunting and the fun label stickers from the American Craft line at Target. This fun banner is one of three kits available. There are also the mini witch hats and paper wreath (you can see below). Target is carrying a wide ...

Fourth of July Mantle

June 11, 2013 by Megan 1 Comment

After living with the Yo Gabba Gabba Mantle for almost a month it was time to up my game. I was lucky enough to be picked for an American Crafts glitter campaign and tons of glittery goodness arrived at my doorstep. This is what I did with that glittery goodness. The paper bunting was so simple to make. The glitter paper came in 12x12 sheets, like your typical scrapbook paper. I cut it in half (two 6x12 inch strips). I then cut each strip into three parts (each 4 inches). This left ...
