Template Store Page

Hello Beauties,
I have added a page to my blog. Yep, you can now buy my templates straight from here! Now you don't have to jump around on the net looking for the templates. If you look above under my banner you will see the tab " Template Store" all you have to do is click on the tab and start shopping! I hope this makes it more convenient for you! Just remember all the templates are emailed to you with a assembly instructional video link. There is no download button because of the assembly videos. Please allow at least 24 hrs for the template to show up in your email. I do on occasion have a ton of orders and I send them in the order they come in. So now hop on over and check out the Template Store and let me know what you think!
Have a Great Weekend!
Hugs♥

Paper Hoarders Guest Design Team Member Project

Hello Beauties,
I am so honored to be a Guest Designer for the Facebook Group Paper Hoarders! Our challenge was to use fall colors and a ruler. So I decided to make a much needed fall Welcome sign for my front door. I have been making these signs for years using door panels from old doors. They are super easy to make and fun too! They also make great gifts:) So without further ado here is my fall Welcome Sign
Here is what I did and a supply list:
First I painted the wood with watered down brown craft paint. The wood panel was raw wood and I wanted more of a stained wood look that is why I watered down the paint. When the paint dried I lightly sanded it for a more distressed vintage look. I then used metallic gold craft paint as a kinda rub. I put the paint on a paper towel and lightly rubbed it all over the wood panel. After letting it dry I took some Linen colored paint and a sponge and lightly dabbed it in random places. I did a final sanding on it and then I attached some burlap to the panel part with modge podge. I got some fall color flowers and picks from Dollar Tree and Michael's and started working on my sprays for the 2 corners. I just played with them till they looked good. I cut the letters and apples out with my Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge and attached them with Modge Podge to decorative paper ( not sure what paper line this paper is from). I actually raided my scrap paper bin :) I covered both sides of the paper with Modge Podge to protect it from the weather. I then used some plaid ribbon from Webster's Pages and attached it to the back of the paper with Fabri-Tac glue. On top of the plaid ribbon ( but not completly covering it) I added a tape measure ribbon ( Sold out in my store right now, but will be getting more in soon) and under the tape measure ribbon I added some tea dyed eyelet ruffle trim. I attached the apples and the bird ( from a K & Co die cut pack) with Modge Podge. Before attaching the flower sprays I used Modge Podge to seal the wood. So there you go, now you can make your own beautiful sign for your home!
Have a Happy Crafty Day!
Thank you for stopping by,
Hugs♥
