I cant tell you how many times I have heard the words " You are such a Martha Stewart" (haha) I just love crafting, diy, painting, sewing, and home decorating. It gives me great satisfaction to look around my house and say " I MADE THAT!"

The Paper Project

 Wow! has it really been two weeks since I last posted?! Well, I have a ton of projects to share with you this week! To start with... I wanted to add color to Cole's bedroom and make it look less grown up. Thankfully, my Cricut and eight dollars in scrapbook paper :) came to my rescue!!! It took about 30 minutes for the Cricut to cut out all the letters and numbers, and about an hour for me to hang them. I used a 300 ct. box of small glue dots to hang them.
 
Here are the results:

  The room is fun and happy with all the colors of the alphabet and numbers.

Sorry for the terrible pictures! I only have my cell phone right now to take pictures... A little girl I know, with big brown eyes, thought it would be fun to play with Mommy's camera. It has never been the same since. Sometimes it will work, and then it will die right away.

I am still in love with his board and batten! It looks just as great as the day I finished it, and since it is a semi-gloss finish it washes up nicely!

  Here is the verse I chose to honor his daddy, and I think it is perfect for his room! Again, sorry for the grainy yuckiness! It really looks great in person and it added that perfect touch with the busyness of the adjacent wall. If it is hard to read, the verse says,
   " For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil." Romans 13:4

I love the way the planes make shadows on his walls. :)

I think it really brings out the color of the stripes in the boarder around his pictures.

 It is a work in progress, but so far I am very happy with my progress! Is anyone else obsessed with scrapbook paper like me? Haha, Well, that's it until tomorrow! I have a great Knock Off to share with you :)

Board and Batten

  I am FINISHED!!! It was like the heavens opened up and I was hearing the angels sing! I LOVE how it turned out! Cole's big boy room is so much cuter than I even thought it would be. Ok here are the pictures of the finished walls. I will show you my process first! ;)

  I bought 4ft strips from Lowes for $1.98 each

 Space them 14 inches apart and level and nail them in place.

From August 23, 2011

  I painted 3 coats of white on the wall before I added the strips to save time.


From August 23, 2011

  I added a 3inch x 8 white boards across the top.
