Favorite Iphone Photo Apps

I know I've shared this once already, but I LOVE the Rhonna Designs photo app on my Iphone!  This month I've been participating in a Photo A Day challenge hosted by Kim Knorrell of Down Home Darling on Instagram.

While I haven't posted everyday, it has pushed me to take and share more photos of things I wouldn't normally think about.

Here are a few of my photo edits from this month -

The prompt for this day was dress, so I thought my wedding dress would be perfect to use.

I'm really addicted to this app and use it along with Bubble Frame and Waterlogue to pretty up all my Iphone photos.


Another photo app that I'm loving is Flipagram! This app allows you to set up a slide show of your photos set to your favorite song.

This was a girls night out at Painting with a Twist - we had such a blast and we can't wait to do it again!


This Flipagram is of Gus and Bob in their Easter Bonnets



I should have shared Gus and Bob's slide show before Easter, but life got in the way!

Do you have a favorite photo app? I would love to hear about it.

You can see more of my photos on Instagram - give me a follow and I'll be sure to follow back.

New Life for a Tired Grapevine Wreath

My favorite grapevine Easter wreath was getting a little bit tired looking, so I decided to give it an update with a roll of Deco Mesh.

All I did was use small pieces of wire to attach the mesh to the back of the grapevine wreath.  Took all of about 10 minutes to do and I love it!

I think we can get a few more years out of it now.....What do you think?

Wishing everyone a wonderful week!

Follow Your Arrow Sign with Printable

Arrows seem to be the latest craze and since Leigh's latest favorite song is "Follow Your Arrow" by Kacey Musgraves, and her new favorite show happens to be Arrow,that meant she needed an "Follow Your Arrow" sign for her room.

We created this cute little sign in less than an 45 minutes -

It only takes a few supplies -

Here's what you will need - 

8 x 10 canvas
4 x 6 wood frame (picked this up at Michaels Arts and Crafts)
1 piece of embossed grey scrapbook paper
1 piece of black/silver polka dot paper
1 piece of grey textured scrapbook paper for the printable
Spray Glue
Glue Gun
Craft Knife
Black craft paint or Sharpie for the edge of the wood frame

And here are the steps to make your own - 

1. Spray canvas with spray glue. Don't worry about the edges
2. Adhere embossed grey paper to the canvas, leaving an inch on each overhang on each side.  Wrap the edges of the canvas like you would a gift and adhere the paper to the back of the canvas with your glue gun.
3.  Paint the edges of the wood frame, both inside and out, with black paint or Sharpie.
4. Spray top of wood frame with spray glue and adhere black polka dot paper to frame.
5. Use craft knife to trim paper close to frame edge, both inside and out.
6. Download Arrow sign and print as a 4x6 on grey paper.  Trim to fit frame and adhere to frame with glue gun.
7. Adhere wood frame to paper covered canvas with glue gun.

You can see the edge of the frame in this shot - that's why you need to edge the wood frame in black.

It doesn't show up in the photos, but the polka dots on the black paper are shiny and really sparkle. The grey paper that we printed the sign on also has texture and a bit of sheen to it.  

All in all, a quick and easy sign that you can make in just a few minutes with a minimum of supplies.  You could also save money and use a piece of cardboard instead of a canvas. Might have tried that, but we already had the canvas.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week and don't forget to "Follow your arrow wherever it points"!

How about an Easter Basket on your front door?

I have a problem.....yes, it's true.....I'm a Wreath Addict!!! 

So, I decided to try something different for Easter this year.  

How about an Easter Basket for your front door?

All of the supplies for this project came from Hobby Lobby, including the child's Easter Basket and the sweet little moss covered bunny!

Isn't he adorable?

The basket is rectangular in shape and just perfect to hang on the door. The flowers are one spring bush that was on sale for 50% off this week and all the Easter items are 40%. Better hurry before everything is gone!

We are having Easter dinner at our house again this year so I wanted something new for the front door.  I have to say, that this is one of my most favorite "wreaths" ever!

Are you crafting for Easter this year? We would love to see your projects, just leave us a link in the comments below.
