The Nap Time Creations

I have been wanting to give my throw pillows a new look, without breaking the bank. So I quickly made a new slip cover for my pillow. Pick a design in the Silhouette studio, and adjust to the size needed. Example my pillow was 17 1/2" and the heat transfer vinyl (HTV) I had was 9x12. I tried my best to get the image to fill all of the material so it would look right on the pillow. Once you get the size you need, test it out on a piece of paper to ensure that is the correct size. **BE SURE TO FLIP YOUR IMAGE** Cut out your image, weed, place on material and press HARD! Place the cover on the pillow and ta-da a whole new pillow!!

With Mother's Day around the corner, I needed to come up with a gift for my mom. So I came up with the perfect gift. Every month when my children turned another month older, I took their picture. (I only did this the first year.) My mom loves them and has been wanting to have the all, so why not make her a book. In Silhouette Studio I used the Amy Robison mini album design. Adjust to the size you want. Fill the page with the image and cut out as many as you need. For the cover, I cut out two pieces of card stock and glued them together. *I did learn to check the direction of your paper for the back cover. It could end up upside down. Cut out the circle and embellish. Now you have a cute mini album all ready to go for your mom!! Happy Mother's Day to all you great moms and women!

We just moved into our new house, and I have my old desk back that needed to be spruced up. So I took some of my favorite magnets, sayings to give it some creative life! I love stationary, my family and quotes that uplift me. I love that this part of the desk is a dry erase and a magnet board. It make it great. The heart say, "One day at a time," a freebe from Heidi Swapp.  I created the deer antlers and the flower box in Silhouette studio. What are some things that inspire you?

Colt and I decided to take our family on a day adventure to Colorado Springs. We went to the Garden of the Gods, the Seven Falls and the ever best Rudy's BBQ. We had so much fun together.

I was walking through the craft store, when adorable gold deer stickers caught my eye. As I stood there deciding if it would fit in my weekly craft budget, I realized I could make some at home... so I did!!!! Supplies: Silhouette Cameo Sticker Paper Laser Printer Minc  Gold Foil Designs: Basic circle Deer Design# 108337 First, make the circle 1"x1" and color black. Make another circle 0.9"x0.9" and color white. Add the deer in side the circle, color black, and center in the align window.  Offset the outer circle. This is easier when there is one design, instead of a page full page to offset. To get it really close, use offset 0.02.  Add the registration marks, and then click the "Replication button" and at the bottom click fill page. (It is best to have the registration marks first before filling the page). Print off on the laser printer.  Turn on the Minc Machine. (I set mine to a 4).  Lay the gold foil...

Create another square with the dimensions 5"x.5".  Used the align tool to bring it to the top and center it. #3 Now the next step is what makes the Silhouette so great. I need it to go all the way down the page, so instead of copying and pasting, click the "column of four...

We are starting out on a new adventure. Hubby received a job promotion. Same company, just a new title. With it comes new home, new place, new ward and new state. We are moving to Denver. We packed up our life and moved in with my parents for two weeks, then on to a new place. As we packed up the house I was crying and couldn't go in the kids bedroom. I would cry even more. I would think of when we first bought the home, or when we brought home our babies. The struggle was real. Tuesday was the worst. I told myself today would be a sad day and tomorrow was a another day. A few things I'll miss is: My tulips (they started to bloom) My back door Hubby upset every time he had to start the swamp cooler or hang up Christmas lights The leafs on trees It's been a few days and I'm doing just fine. Excited to get going and be in Denver. We are needed there Heavenly Father has made this all possible.
