Winter Subway Art

Cathy — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:59:20 +0000

Since the Christmas decorations came down our living room has looked a little naked. There’s one frame on our shelf that I’ve been filling with subway art for each holiday and thought I’d keep it going with a winter theme. And then what’s the point in making subway art if you don’t share it? I picked the perfect day to share- it’s currently 12 degrees in downtown Minneapolis. Hello winter!

2012 Calendars – free downloads!

Cathy — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 14:00:03 +0000

I’m a sucker for free downloads, but I especially love the calendars below. They’re fun and modern and a little bit of style to my otherwise boring office. Hard to believe I’ve been at my job for a year and the only decor I have is a few pics of the kids!

They are all free downloads (yay!) and while you’re visiting the sites check out all their other printables. So cute! So here we go…

These are so cute I squealed when I saw them. Which one is your favorite? I think I like July the best. All the pig tailed ones are adorable too though!

Now I know my ABC’s – free download!

One of the Little Peanut’s favorite songs lately is the ABC’s. After she learned her numbers I gradually introduced the alphabet song a few letters at a time and before long she was singing the whole thing! Not only that but I’m so proud that she can also recognize the letters too. It really helped that we have the magnetic letters and the Vtech sit to stand alphabet train (Which she loves like mad. One of the best gifts we have gotten!) for her to learn the ABC’s.

We don’t have a lot of wall decor in her play area so I made these fun and colorful abc posters since she’s shown such an interest in the alphabet. Now to find some (unbreakable!) frames or maybe I should try using contact paper…

Now you can have them too! The one on the left is letter sized. The one on the right is tabloid sized.

Invite your friends over for a spooktacular Halloween bash with our free printable! The curved-flap design makes it easy to use – no need to find the right sized envelope.

Click here to download our Halloween invitation free printable.

Print onto the back side of decorative scrapbook paper to give them a fun (or spooky!) feel. Add on a sticker to seal. I turned these circle tags from Paper Glitter into stickers by printing them onto sticker paper.

The download has two designs: “It’s going to be spooktacular” and “trick or treat!”

The invitations measure 3.5 inches folded.

Not sure how to fold the flaps?

Score the four sides of the invitation for a clean fold.

Fold the flaps to the center one at a time starting at the top and going clockwise.

When you get to the last flap, tuck the edge under the first flap.

Note: I cutout the envelope from the template then traced it onto scrapbooking paper.

The photo on the card itself are of these darling crochet hearts from Vouge Kntting I made for the Little Peanut to give to her daddy this Valentines day. If you’re a crocheter you still have time to whip up a few! It took me about 40 minutes to make three and that’s including the embroidery time.

Leave Santa a note!

Cathy — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:32:21 +0000

When I was young, my sister and I would leave out cookies and milk for Santa. We would also write him a little thank you note or some years leave a “Don’t eat these Dad, they’re for Santa!” sign. Making these reminded me of those younger years and of the older ones where we would remind each other to eat the cookies before our younger brother woke up!

A time for thanks

When I was young I remember my family waiting for the Thanksgiving Day Star Tribune (our local newspaper) to arrive. My mom of course was waiting for the ads and coupons to plan her Black Friday agenda. My sister and I on the other hand were waiting for the annual Thanksgiving coloring turkey. It was a lot of fun to each take a section of the turkey to color and I’m sure my mom enjoyed having us out of her hair while she prepared the feast.

I had completely forgotten about the coloring turkey until a few years ago when my nephew recruited me to help him color the page. For those of you who do not have the Star Tribune embe has created our own Thanksgiving Day coloring turkey!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
