Hey y'all! Who loves Fall? I DO! It's actually my favorite time of the year. Here's a fun fall-inspired sign and if you are still with me at the end, I'll maybe even have the free file for you! ;)<br />
<br />
My bloggy buddies and I have once again joined forces to bring you 14 Home Decor Projects, I figured I'd kick off Fall with my project, but make sure you check out all of the other awesome ones for more project inspiration. The projects are listed at the bottom of my post, just click on each name and it will take you to each blog!<br />

Since it's officially Pumpkin Spice Latte season, I thought I'd share this fun tutorial!<br />

<br />
I actually designed this sign a few years back for a Home Show Make it Take it Workshop, but I thought I'd share the project supplies list and file (free!) with you guys now!<br />
<br />
For this project you will need the following:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=534406&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Maker</a> or <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=451223&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Air2</a></li>
<li>10"x 10" board (I used pine)</li>
<li> <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=534408&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Indoor Vinyl </a>(temporary vinyl or 631)</li>
<li><a href="http://milkpaint.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Old Fashioned Milk Paint</a></li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2CAhgIP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Unicorn SPiT Stain</a> (I used a blend of milk paint and SPiT to make my ombre colors)</li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2wXCo5K" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Foam craft brushes</a></li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2CBBuBT" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dark furniture stain</a></li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2wTPiSc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spray Laquer</a> </li>
</ul>
First, sand, clean and stain your board and allow it to fully dry. Once it's dry, hit it with some of the spray lacquer listed above. To make a stencil, simply cut out your vinyl and instead of removing the background when you weed it, remove the letters, leaving the background and making sure to leave the letter centers. Use some transfer tape to transfer your stencil onto your board. Make sure to burnish your stencil before adding your paint so as to not get any bleed through. To get the ombre look, just pour out some paint/stain onto your palette
in an ombre look and drag your foam brush straight across it to get the
effect. Make sure to remove your stencil while the paint is still partially wet so as to not lift it. <br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can stain or paint the board and use vinyl for the lettering like these gals did at the Home Show:<br />

Either method looks great! Just make sure if you're going the colorful board and vinyl route, that you seal your Unicorn SPiT before adding your letters. You can do this by giving a quick spray with the lacquer I listed above, making sure it's fully dry before adding the letters using transfer tape or it might lift up your stain or paint. I personally love both looks but went for the stained board in a dark walnut, then lacquer, then the stencil and paint.<br />

Tell me, have you had a Pumpkin Spice Latte this season already? I will let in on a little secret...I don't drink coffee! I KNOW! IT'S CRAZY, BUT I DON'T! I'm a Tea girl. Tea is life. ;) <br />

Hi y'all! I'm so excited to be participating in a fun challenge with my bloggy friends this week! It's called "Craft Lightning" and this time around, we're focusing on wood crafts!<br />
<br />
I thought this would be a PERFECT time to bust out a new craft supply that I've been obsessed with for a few weeks...<a href="https://solawoodflowers.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sola Wood Flowers</a>! My friend <a href="https://ohyourelovely.com/" target="_blank">Stefanie over at Oh! You're Lovely</a> uses these cuties quite often, so I thought I'd order a few and give them a try and I'm hooked! (I just placed another order the other night because there was a SALE!)<br />
<br />
Here is the full list of supplies needed for this project (I've included links to Amazon in case you can't make it to a craft store):<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>**Though I was compensated for this

<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2xA0gQv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chip Brush </a></li>
</ul>
Steps:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li> Paint your Monogram Initial and set aside to dry.</li>
<li>Position your wood flowers on your wreath according to where you like them best and glue them down. </li>
<li>Add some of the spray stem to it to fill in the space a little better. </li>
<li>Glue down your Monogram.</li>
<li>Secure your letter with some floral wire. (I wrapped some of the wire around the 'S' following the same path as the floral spray to hide it.)</li>
<li>Add some ribbon or burlap to the top and hang it on your front door! </li>
</ul>
I made a quick video to show you how to put it all together.<br />
<br />

<br />
The entire project took just under 10 minutes to create! Isn't it so pretty? Those flowers look SO realistic!<br />

<br />
Hi y'all! I'm so excited for this month's Cricut Challenge!! First, let me say that this project though easy to make, was no simple feat to accomplish. Why? Well, it was difficult to accomplish because my township has been without power for 10days after we got hit with two back to back nor'easters and snow storms. Thankfully, someone offered up her home so I could Cricut in time for the post to go live!<br />
<br />
I'll stop blabbing now...well first let me say that you want to stick to the end of this post, since there's a GIVEAWAY! Also, make sure to check out the other awesome bloggers that participated in the challenge for more crafty Cricut inspiration! (Also linked at end of post.)<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The shirts are super soft and they fit comfortably! Side-note, thank you to my in laws for letting us and our puppy come hang at their house, too during this crazy time! That cabinet behind me in the above picture is just chock full of memories from the kids', my brother in law's and hubby's childhoods! :) </span> </span><br />
<br />
Back to my awesome DIY Biggie-inspired Tshirt...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I used some <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=327204&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut access fonts for this design on Cricut Design Space</a>. March 9th marked the 21st anniversary of Biggie's death, so being the Biggie fan that I am, I decided a Biggie quote was JUST what my Happy Crafters' Tshirt needed! I ordered some <a href="https://www.happycrafters.com/siser-holographic-heat-transfer-vinyl-sheets" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">black holographic HTV that can be found here</a>, and this black tshirt, and chose my quote. I got this from his song titled "Sky's the limit" and I love it! <br />

<br />
Sidenote: Yes, this is what I look like when the power goes out for this long...<br />
I had a bunny left over from an Easter project, so it's on my <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=483496&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maker </a>for the time being. I also used my handy Easy Press for this project! (T<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=483496&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">he Easy Press is on sale!

I wanted to go for the 'black on black' thing, but with a twist! ;) When the sun or light hits the tshirt, the holographic rainbow POPS! It's pretty awesome!<br />

I was clearly feeling my shirt, so I took a selfie on Snap the day I wore it. (Anyone else wish that snap filters were real life? Just sayin'...my skin is flawless with this filter! Ha!)<br />
<br />
Anyone else love Biggie as much as I do!? You can find the file <a href="https://community.cricut.com/profiles/57edf6b68266134030a9face/project-detail/5aa5b80707a640113ee1eda3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>, free to use as long as you have <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=327204&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Access on Design Space.

Hi y'all! I'm so excited to kick off this fun new monthly challenge that all of my Cricut loving friends and I have begun! What better kick off than a Cricut Christmas Challenge?! A huge thank you to <a href="https://createandbabble.com/" target="_blank">Jeanie </a>and <a href="http://weekendcraft.com/" target="_blank">Michelle </a>who had the great idea to get us all together! <br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span> <br />
As I mentioned, this month's challenge was to create something Christmas inspired with our own little twist on it! I, of course, decided to stick with what I love....<br />
<br />
UNICORNS! :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MfFy4EUDBzM/WiuR_6c2EhI/AAAAAAAAMR8/YbvjbMEzbJg_bsRaLUctL5wVO42fPOf5wCEwYBhgL/s1600/cricut_challenge_unicorn_ornament_tutorial.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MfFy4EUDBzM/WiuR_6c2EhI/AAAAAAAAMR8/YbvjbMEzbJg_bsRaLUctL5wVO42fPOf5wCEwYBhgL/s640/cricut_challenge_unicorn_ornament_tutorial.png" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
For this quick and easy, yet adorable ornament you will need the following:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=452074&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-Cricut Air 2 </a><br />
<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=464673&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-Cricut Vinyl in Black (You can use Outdoor/Permanent as well, but honestly the regular stuff is fine) </a><br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2Brr0Uo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-Iridescent Glass (or Acrylic) Ball Ornaments</a><br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2iKF67O" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-2 Different Colors of Felt (I chose purple and white to go along with my color scheme) </a><br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2iMEoag" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-No Bake/Air Dry Polymer Clay</a><br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2C0zv5B" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-1.5in. Sheer Ribbon</a><br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2ke6Odw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-Assorted Scrapbooking Flowers in your choice of color </a><br />
-If your flowers don't come with tiny pearls in the center, get those too.<br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2BuvkCe" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-E-600 </a><br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2khEYwP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">-Unicorn SPiT in Purple Hill Majesty and I also used a touch of Spakling SPiT* in Dove's Cry. </a><br />
*(Please note: the Sparkling SPiT was a special release, which is no longer available for purchase, though some retailers MIGHT have a few left.) <br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
One day ahead of time, roll out your air dry polymer clay into two thin, approximately 1 1/2in cylinders. intertwine them to form your unicorn horn. make sure to flatten out the bottom so it will lie flat once glued onto your ornament.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0K8_l9oQSpA/Wi2NEcd7MYI/AAAAAAAAMSs/D_ILBEcTQVQyD9_5A4xisrMzMWr4H6eRwCLcBGAs/s1600/unihorn.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0K8_l9oQSpA/Wi2NEcd7MYI/AAAAAAAAMSs/D_ILBEcTQVQyD9_5A4xisrMzMWr4H6eRwCLcBGAs/s640/unihorn.png" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
When you are ready for your vinyl, cut out your eyelashes using your <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=452074&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Air2</a>, weed out, and transfer using transfer tape.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jgbf0awAQgg/Wi2M3cGWMsI/AAAAAAAAMSo/w-d7dICkdScZB31YubUGf4n3DvSXIFPMwCLcBGAs/s1600/unicorn_eyelashes.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jgbf0awAQgg/Wi2M3cGWMsI/AAAAAAAAMSo/w-d7dICkdScZB31YubUGf4n3DvSXIFPMwCLcBGAs/s640/unicorn_eyelashes.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Once that is done, cut out your triangles, two larger ones in the one color, and two slightly smaller ones in a different color. If you have a <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=451223&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Maker</a>, you can cut your felt out with the brand new rotary blade! :)<br />
<br />
Using the epoxy glue, add the uni-horn and ears, as well as all of your flowers which will serve as the unicorn's mane, onto the top of the ornament. You might have to hold the uni-horn on there until the glue begins to dry so that it stays where you want it to and doesn't tip.<br />
<br />
To finish off, take a small brush and paint your (completely air dried and hardened) uni-horn with your Unicorn SPiT, as is only appropriate. I mean, sure, you could use regular paint, but why would you?! ;)<br />
<br />

I know, I know...yesterday was barely Halloween...but Christmas is my favorite holiday and I couldn't help myself. Also, I jumped at the thought of being able to participate in such an awesome holiday campaign, especially since at the very end of this post, you'll be able to enter to win a brand new Cricut Maker, just in time for the holidays! :)</div>

<br />
I saw <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing/project-detail/59cbcd14fbe6bd1de088ab65" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this Make It Now project</a>, and was inspired to use the same idea but for some Christmas fun. While my project didn't contain the cardstock on the outside, I did use some cardstock for the mat inside the frame. You can check out the FB video tutorial I did below. Warning, it's long and I dropped the camera a couple of times. (I'm a mess, but fun, I promise!) I'm still trying to get my new office nook properly set up, so please bear with me. If you want to recreate the frame project, you can <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/design/new/projects/user-project/72664254?category=My%20Projects" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">go here for the file in Design Space</a>! <br />

Here's my awesome Air2 in action! I get very excited every time I get to push that blinking 'c'! :) <br />
<br />
<u><b>Tutorial:</b></u><br />
<br />
All you need to do is the following.<br />
<br />
Go into Design Space, and open a new project.<br />
<br />
Insert a square or rectangle onto your canvas. Size accordingly. My shadow box was 8"x 8" so I made the square that size.<br />
<br />
Duplicate the square/rectangle, then create a frame by making the second shape about 1.5" to 2" smaller than the first one. Center the two squares, then hit 'slice'.<br />
<br />
Delete the smaller squares until you are left with a frame.<br />
<br />
If you are using the same size frame as I did, feel free to just cut the frame I have in my project file <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/design/new/projects/user-project/72664254?category=My%20Projects" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Place the mat/frame inside the shadow box and apply the vinyl lettering to the glass on the outside of the frame. I used Cricut Gold Adhesive Foil in Matte. <br />
<br />
Here's the finished project:<br />

These plain white ornaments got the same treatment as the frame...some Cricut Gold Adhesive Foil, Matte. If you want the lettering to be permanent, just use some Cricut Outdoor Vinyl. </div>

This plain white charger from the Dollar store got some Gold Glitter Vinyl and the words to my favorite Christmas Carol. I honestly think this is my favorite Christmas faux mantel vignette I've ever done! I think gold and white are officially my favorite Christmas colors. They're truly just classic and classy!<br />

Hi y'all! Today, I'm excited to share with you my favorite top 5 Decor Hacks, because let's be real...high end decor is NOT cheap, and also, who has that kind of time?! I'm just trying to get through the different seasons and holidays, with my sanity intact all the while parenting 2 teen boys and a preteen girl. Yes. PRETEEN GIRL. All of the sudden, there are a whole lot of emotions up in this house! But...I promised you decor, so here you go!<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Splurge on high end, good quality paint, but do it yourself. </b></span><br />
<br />
I promise you, painting a chic accent wall is not difficult. Make it a 'fun' family event. Seriously. Put the kids to work!<br />

<br />
Yes, the paint I used is custom and by regular paint standards, pricey. However, it's the best quality paint I've ever used (and I've used SO MUCH paint over the years), it's all natural, non-toxic and honestly just provides a finish that nothing else can or will. It contains lime, and the end result is very dramatic. <a href="https://rbeemster.postaffiliatepro.com/scripts/uuol1c?a_aid=34" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">It's called "Pure and Original" and my favorite line is their Fresco Lime.</a> If you can't justify painting an entire room in high end paint, simply do one accent wall. You will still get the dramatic effect but at a fraction of the cost.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Improve your kitchen without spending a ton of money by painting (or staining) your cabinetry. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">If your kitchen has some good bones, there's no sense in shelling out thousands to install new cabinetry...paint (or stain) those babies! Adding a backsplash and changing out the hardware is another great way to really get some "high end drama" without spending too much money. Custom cabinetry can cost anywhere from 12k to 20k (sometimes even more) here in the tri-state area...save that money and update them with some good quality paint. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you choose to go the DIY route, please make sure you do it the right way. I know that there are many tutorials all over the internet from bloggers who used "no prep paint" and simply slapped it onto their cabinetry, but I promise you, as a professional who does this for a living, there is NO SUCH THING AS NO PREP PAINT. I know, I just got shouty...my bad. Nothing annoys me more than people who give bad advice. To properly paint your cabinetry, take all the doors and hardware down/off, thoroughly clean them (I use diluted Simple Green), rough them up for a paint job with some fine grit sandpaper or a sanding sponge, clean them again, prime them, then paint and seal. If you don't have respiratory issues like I do, I suggest you go with an alkyd enamel. If being green is important to you, feel free to use a true mineral or milk paint but make sure to always seal with a poly, do NOT wax kitchen cabinetry. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Statement pieces are fun, impressive and conversation starters. They are also easy to repaint, or switch out, especially when you have found them curbside or paid only a few dollars, for. Take for example the above '<a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/2015/03/frozen-inspired-vanity-redodecoupage.html" target="_blank">Frozen-inspired desk</a>'. My daughter has about 4 years tops that she will be into that movie, then will move on once she outgrows it. She wanted a 'Frozen' room, and all I could think of was that I'd have to redo the room again when she got too old for Disney Princesses. So I settled on creating a teal and purple room with a few 'Frozen' touches, such as the desk, the artwork and bedding. Once she outgrows it, those items can be removed and she'll still have a gorgeous teal and purple room fit for a teenager. </span></span><br />

Hi y'all! I'm excited to show you some MORE photos of the wedding I helped decorate back in June. Did you know that you can DIY your OWN wedding decor, make it look gorgeous and still stay on or below your budget? Well, you can!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">**Though I was compensated for this

I saw this cute copper mini lantern on <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/mini-copper-lantern-a2-13745610.fltr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Oriental Trading</a> and I knew it had to be a part of our decor. The best part, each one only cost around $6, so truly speaking, even if you have a larger wedding reception, it can still be a cost effective choice. Here's the stock image.<br />

I also used these Basswood rounds since the theme of the wedding was a rustic one and some mason jars, burlap and faux flowers:<br />

I bought the gorgeous sequined runner on Amazon. You can find it <a href="http://amzn.to/2vbqqaD" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> for less than $10. The burlap was super cheap, too. My tip would be to get it by the yard or to scour FB Buy/Sell/Trade groups for it, since many people buy too much and end up wanting to get rid of the rest for very little money.<br />

A little burlap and lace and you have yourself a rustic wedding! Seriously, how gorgeous are these cookies by my friend Dawn?! She mimicked the burlap, wood, lace and flowers and even 'carved' the initials of the couple in the icing! Nothing beats a hand decorated cookie! :)<br />

<br />
Hi y'all! So today's post is about to get REAL. If you came here for a DIY or tutorial, well I'm sorry to say that's not happening today. No, today, I'm telling you my "Everyday Amazing" story which I was inspired to share by my good friend, KariAnne Wood's upcoming book titled <a href="http://amzn.to/2wnJylO" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"So Close to Amazing" which you can order here.</a><br />
<br />
You guys. YOU. HAVE. TO. BUY. THIS. BOOK. I'm serious. I have laughed until my tummy hurt, I have cried, prayed, reflected, been confronted with my own personal shortcomings but most of all realized that BECAUSE of all of the above, I'm actually 'amazing'. Yes, I am amazing. Why? Well, because for one, I am a creation of God! Also, I rock at a lot of really neat things, and at the same time rock at being bad at many things, too! :)<br />
<br />
If you're new to my blog, my name is Evey. This is me, well how people are used to seeing me...when I'm onstage at Home Shows, on TV and morning news shows or just on social media.<br />

And here's also what I look like, quite often when my health fails me and I end up in the hospital...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TFsKxc9wg4k/WYKtvjO2KTI/AAAAAAAAIgA/w3KJoPB2gzcGAj8-vpGP6JQdCoxt-245ACLcBGAs/s1600/evey_hospital.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TFsKxc9wg4k/WYKtvjO2KTI/AAAAAAAAIgA/w3KJoPB2gzcGAj8-vpGP6JQdCoxt-245ACLcBGAs/s400/evey_hospital.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
The reality is, I have 6 (we're now up to 8 as of Dec. 2018) autoimmune illnesses, 2 genetic disorders and COPD. That means I spend about a quarter of my life in and out of the hospital. That means, I won't live as long as I'm supposed to. That means, I've coded 7 times in my life. That also means, I live my life to the FULLEST. It means I find the beauty in EVERY. DAY. It also also means I love every aspect of my life, and I try to experience as much as possible.<br />
<br />
I had the opportunity to read KariAnne Wood's <u>So Close to Amazing</u> before it hits shelves on September 5th, and it has been everything I thought it would be and more. If you know KariAnne, you know she's an incredibly kind and selfless being. You know that she is bubbly, funny, very talented and has an incredible eye for design. She also has an incredible story. This well written memoir is both emotionally moving and very funny. It tells her story in a thought-provoking and beautiful and amusing manner.<br />
<br />
It has inspired me to share the following video...I must warn you, it's long and likely the first time I've spoken so candidly about what it's like to live with chronic pain and illness, as well as what it's like to follow my dreams not just in spite of, but BECAUSE of the above. Hope it inspires you to follow your dreams but to also buy KariAnne's AMAZING book! Don't forget to check out the other reviews and 'So Close to Amazing' stories by some of my bloggy friends below via the linky party!<br />

Hi, yall! I'm SO excited to begin sharing some of the projects from the wedding I worked on last month!<br />
<br />
The first one I'm sharing was created using my amazing, brand new, mint-colored <a href="http://shrsl.com/j282" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Cuttlebug</a> which retails for $89.99. Make sure you take full advantage of the current <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=430307&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">deal going on over on the Cricut website! 30% off mats, blades and tools (valid until 7/5 only)!</a><br />
<br />
Also, if you use the code CHRISTMASINJULY at checkout, you will receive free shipping within the U.S. (valid until 8/1). <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TonDTSU8QO8/WXK6Fue1lUI/AAAAAAAAIeg/1TgK3ufHPIozJ3a52hM_dep4j3q8XBVVwCLcBGAs/s1600/cricut_cuttlebug.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1500" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TonDTSU8QO8/WXK6Fue1lUI/AAAAAAAAIeg/1TgK3ufHPIozJ3a52hM_dep4j3q8XBVVwCLcBGAs/s640/cricut_cuttlebug.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The Cuttlebug is an adorably cute, compact die cut and embossing (manual) machine by Cricut. Just like the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Air2</a>, it comes in various colors to match.<br />
<br />
Check out the sweet embossed favor bags I created for the reception! They held beautifully hand piped cookies by my incredible friend, Dawn. Thank you Dawn! I LOVE YOU!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xwP9tAcpCSo/WXK-TJdN2dI/AAAAAAAAIew/Emgcp4CR72wMqaLvCPxm-FDqGoApy1z7QCLcBGAs/s1600/favor_bag1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="530" data-original-width="397" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xwP9tAcpCSo/WXK-TJdN2dI/AAAAAAAAIew/Emgcp4CR72wMqaLvCPxm-FDqGoApy1z7QCLcBGAs/s640/favor_bag1.png" width="478" /></a></div>
<br />
Here, via FB live, is how I made them! Honestly, I made a ton in just a show amount of time. The Cuttlebug made it a very easy, quick and fun experience. My daughter helped me, of course!<br />
<br />

<br />
You can see all of the embossing folders that Cricut has for sale, <a href="http://shrsl.com/j28b" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to add some more to my collection, especially the holiday and birthday ones for card making.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial! Be sure to share you Cricut projects on Social Media, using the hashtag #cricutmade. Until next time!<br />

<br />
One of the best parts about the <a href="https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=736484&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Explore Air 2</a>, (besides how pretty my mint machine is) is that it easily cuts my own designs. <br />
<br />
Both of the above were designed on Photoshop, then imported into Cricut Design Space. Design Space makes it super easy to create your own designs, even handwriting or artwork, and cut it on the machine! Yes. I just said, "even handwriting"! Imagine the possibilities...taking a loved one's note and turning into one of a kind artwork, or using your own fonts that go along with your brand and using the machine to make stencils or vinyl decals for all of your brand's needs!<br />
<br />
The other thing it does is turn my fun (you guessed it) book-inspired designs into incredible statements of my passion for said books! Today, I'm show you how I make my custom (ACOTAR-inspired) etched stemless wine glasses. Yes, the very same ones that will available for sale in my shop when it reopens!<br />
<br />

Aren't they so awesome!? If you read the book series, I promise that they're even MORE awesome. :)<br />
<br />
More importantly though, I'll be teaching you just how to import your VERY OWN design into DS3! I promise it's SUPER easy and if you watch the video, you'll be able to do in no time. You'll also see all of my secrets to making these sweet etched glasses and maybe be inspired to make your own version inspired by YOUR favorite book, or movie...the possibilities are quite endless as I mentioned above.<br />
<br />

Hi y'all!<br />
<br />
If you visit my little corner of the internet, you know that I often share Cricut crafts and DIYs. Y'all know that I LOVE my <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Air 2</a> VERY much! :)<br />
<br />
Many people often ask me if buying a <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Air 2</a> is truly worth their money...they wonder if they'll use it enough to justify the cost. I also get asked what tools need to be bought alongside it in order to properly use it. <br />
<br />
Here's a quick video I did explaining why I think it truly IS worth the cost, and what other tools you will need to purchase alongside it in order to properly use it.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now see for yourself how much I use this baby! :) Honestly, I do so much more that I never get around to photographing or posting to the blog but here are some of my favorite projects that I have done using my Cricut machines:<br />
<br />
A Keychain in honor of my favorite college football team...<br />

It's no secret that I am a very dedicated Bibliophile...or that I LOVE both the <a href="http://amzn.to/2oQyyJd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ACOTAR (A Court of Thorns and Roses)</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/2oGMPpO" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ToG (Throne of Glass) </a>series by Sarah J. Maas.<br />

It's also no secret that I LOVE my <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Air 2</a>. ::Smile::<br />
<br />
I feel like the majority of my crafting these days consists of Cricut projects, if only because the machine makes my projects so much easier and way more fun!<br />
<br />
Being in love with the above book series, I decided to some some projects in their honor! <a href="http://eveyscreations.storenvy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">I also posted them to my store, the first one is sold out, but I have a few left of the others!</a><br />

<br />
I had some boards left over from some of my workshops and decide to put them to good use. For this one which was inspired by a quote from the second book of the ACOTAR series, called <a href="http://amzn.to/2pLW6vY" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">"A Court of Mist and Fury (ACOMAF)</a>, I stained the board in purple, as the book often describes purple to be one of the colors often visible in the Court of Dreams. It's one of my favorite quotes and I just love the part of the book in which it's found. I used about three different custom fonts that I downloaded onto my computer awhile back. This actually uploads said fonts onto Design Space (DS) so you can access them when designing. You can also use any old cartridges that you may have, just upload them into your DS account and they will be there forever!<br />

<br />
For this one, inspired by book four of the ToG series, called "Queen of Shadows" (QoS), I designed in PicMonkey, online, then saved the .jpg and uploaded it onto DS. Make sure that when you do this, you design on a transparent canvas to make it easier when you upload onto DS.<br />

<br />
In honor of the quote, I stained the board in a galaxy-inspired motif, and made sure to add some shining stars to my design. Making a stencil is super easy! Cut your vinyl stencil, then weed away the letters , making sure to leave the centers of letters such as 'a', 'e', etc. Then, simply use some transfer tape to transfer the stencil onto the board. I would recommend sealing the stain in before attempting to stencil or to even transfer the stencil. Make sure your stencil has no air bubbles. You can use a scraper tool or even a credit card to smooth it out. Always seal your work when completely done, also. <br />

<br />
I used some glitter Cricut iron-on vinyl to enhance the theme behind the quote. I even let my son photograph me in it! It's my new favorite t-shirt!<br />

Today's giveaways are awesome, of course! First up is one of my favorite brands, CeCe Caldwell's Paints! If you haven't tried their products, you are missing out. Not only are the green, safe and non-toxic, the ingredients to the products are so safe, they go ahead and put them right on the label. No harmful polymers, no VOCs, just pure chalk+paint and solvent free waxes. Their Stain+Finish line is my absolute go-to when it comes to staining furniture and signs and my favorite color is their Kukui! Here it is in action.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/2016/11/home-alone-2-inspired-holiday-sign-and.html" target="_blank"><img alt="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/2016/11/home-alone-2-inspired-holiday-sign-and.html" border="0" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lkXN2y2aMsU/WFocZhpI5lI/AAAAAAAAIQI/9zyhc29LthwUoXlwMTsup8Ttwjn1yhQ3ACLcB/s640/home_alone_2_sign_eveyscreation_cricut.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Up for grabs is <i><b>1 Signed CeCe Caldwell Apron, Paintbrush, 2 Half-Liters of Paint, 1 Half-Liter of Stain+Finish, 1 Half-Liter of Finish, 2 Metallic Wax, and 1 Dark Aging Cream. **This giveaway is open to U.S. Residents only**</b></i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b> </b></i><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a9XdLOFCVJU/WFoiUytqgZI/AAAAAAAAIQc/hWJa3wutCnsVZz_WoRL2U0ShAGyBs1SggCLcB/s1600/cece%2Bpaints.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a9XdLOFCVJU/WFoiUytqgZI/AAAAAAAAIQc/hWJa3wutCnsVZz_WoRL2U0ShAGyBs1SggCLcB/s640/cece%2Bpaints.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
Thank you CeCe!<br />
<br />
Up next is another favorite brand of mine! We over at <a href="http://www.milkpaint.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Old Fashioned Milk Paint</a> retail it and I personally use it on all my signs, milk painted pieces and more! The above sign was sealed with it! It's called <a href="http://www.daddyvans.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Daddy Van's</a> and is by far the best solvent free wax on the market period. I truly love the stuff!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--W0j4iU1Cz8/WFoiPsmSJFI/AAAAAAAAIQY/mhtDYHDclv0RtZPfq95DuOZfhutOOnqKACLcB/s1600/daddy_vans_hero_editorial_83-%25281%2529-3370-x-1702-web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/--W0j4iU1Cz8/WFoiPsmSJFI/AAAAAAAAIQY/mhtDYHDclv0RtZPfq95DuOZfhutOOnqKACLcB/s640/daddy_vans_hero_editorial_83-%25281%2529-3370-x-1702-web.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Up for grabs is a<b><i> $75 Gift Certificate to their website!</i></b> You can get A LOT of wax with that! My personal favorite is their Lavender scented clear wax. It's just so amazing! Thank you Daddy Van's!<br />

Christmas Movies are the best, right?!<br />
<br />
Y'all. I, along with some of my amazing Bloggy friends are happy to bring you, "25 Christmas Movie Crafts and Recipes"! Yup. Crafts and Recipes all inspired by our favorite Holiday movies!<br />
<br />
If you are following along in the Blog Hop, you are likely coming to me from <a href="http://smallstuffcounts.com/filthy-animal-framed-artwork/" target="_blank">Emily's blog.</a><br />
<br />
My project is a sign from my FAVORITE Holiday movie EVER, "Home Alone 2, Lost in New York". I know, I know...most people don't love sequels, but THIS sequel is every bit as hilarious and wonderful as the first movie!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> **Though

<br />
<br />
I thought I'd turn my favorite quote and scene from the movie into a wooden Holiday sign so of course, I pulled out my favorite<a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/2016/11/my-favorite-green-things.html" target="_blank"> GREEN paints and stains</a>, and my trusty <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Air 2</a>!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TGfBxrYpneY/WD51lGxrmXI/AAAAAAAAIJo/4Tl8RjR_7JwrWKdnwojUJnTX5PFAzT4DACLcB/s1600/home_alone_2_sign_eveyscreation_cricut.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TGfBxrYpneY/WD51lGxrmXI/AAAAAAAAIJo/4Tl8RjR_7JwrWKdnwojUJnTX5PFAzT4DACLcB/s640/home_alone_2_sign_eveyscreation_cricut.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Seriously, isn't that just the best sign EVER?! :) Here's how I did it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pV4aem3HDdE/WD525VkMBmI/AAAAAAAAIJ0/coRfekLJgREr4X1bBDqFWjS5DzBXJBBOQCLcB/s1600/kukui_cricut_sign.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pV4aem3HDdE/WD525VkMBmI/AAAAAAAAIJ0/coRfekLJgREr4X1bBDqFWjS5DzBXJBBOQCLcB/s640/kukui_cricut_sign.png" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
I started out by taking a pine board and staining it with my favorite Stain+Finish from <a href="http://cececaldwells.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CeCe Caldwell's Paints</a> in Kukui. It's important to let the stain fully dry and cure for at least 24hrs, otherwise the vinyl might not stick to the wood properly and you will get bleeding when applying the paint.<br />
<br />
I uploaded a Holiday font into Cricut Design Space (font is called "I love Christmas"), then cut some vinyl out for a stencil, I used regular indoor vinyl, not permanent or outdoor vinyl.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bFrF0aY4A54/WD52PHY22YI/AAAAAAAAIJs/SQzTIndFHc4NHXEHdZ4mXGlDuEXrhLJKQCLcB/s1600/home_alone_2_sign_tutorial.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bFrF0aY4A54/WD52PHY22YI/AAAAAAAAIJs/SQzTIndFHc4NHXEHdZ4mXGlDuEXrhLJKQCLcB/s640/home_alone_2_sign_tutorial.png" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
Instead of weeding around the letters like I normally do, I weeded the letters OUT, leaving the background for the stencil. I transferred the vinyl with some transfer tape, making sure to really smooth the vinyl down onto the stained wood.<br />
<br />
I used CeCe again, this time their chalk+clay paint in "Simply White". Make sure you use a good stencil brush and stencil in a circular motion to reduce the risk of bleeding under the stencil.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EK2xe_UPj3E/WD53xiVUumI/AAAAAAAAIKA/BHhrlYrMVkAbBovvkQ1ud8D-kLT0sPudwCLcB/s1600/home_alone_2_sign_eveyscreation_cricut.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EK2xe_UPj3E/WD53xiVUumI/AAAAAAAAIKA/BHhrlYrMVkAbBovvkQ1ud8D-kLT0sPudwCLcB/s640/home_alone_2_sign_eveyscreation_cricut.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I spruced it up with some <a href="http://www.unicornspit.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Unicorn SPiT</a> in their new Sparkling Stains line! In person, those cute string lights just sparkle away, when the light hits the sign!<br />
<br />
I sealed it all up with my favorite wax, <a href="http://www.milkpaint.com/purchase_other.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Daddy Van's Clear Wax in Lavender.</a><br />
<br />
I'm in love with it! Make sure you check out all of the other posts in our awesome Blog Hop!<br />

Hey y'all! IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS (or Earth Day, or Mother's Day...or whatever day it is that you decide to go GREEN)!<br />
<br />
****(POST IS UPDATED YEAR ROUND TO REFLECT TOP DEALS ON THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS!)***<br />
<br />
For some of u<span style="font-size: small;">s, sweaters and jewelry </span>are not the best option (though greatly appreciated). Dare I say it? Some of us don't even like chocolate. (I know I'm odd. I do like DARK and very bitter chocolate, though!)<br />
<br />
Some of us long for...well, other types of gifts.<br />
<br />
Some of us want to DIY, and DIY GREEN!<br />
<br />
Behold, The DIY Holiday GREEN Gift Guide for the <a href="http://www.fabfurnitureflippincontest.com/" target="_blank">Fab Furniture Flippin'™</a>, hardcore DIY'ing, Power-Tool-wielding, Eco-Friendly Momma in your life! (Ladies, if you are like me and crave such things, then feel free to just send this post right on over to your family via email so they can see EXACTLY what to get
you!)<br />

First up, my most favorite earth-friendly Stain+Finish in the world:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sqq2uG-Sg6o/VyL8VWUBAuI/AAAAAAAAHsE/ILtPJUlXx2UfI4dh72cKbpBlE8Go4e5KgCLcB/s1600/beechnut_grey_cece_stain%252Bfinish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sqq2uG-Sg6o/VyL8VWUBAuI/AAAAAAAAHsE/ILtPJUlXx2UfI4dh72cKbpBlE8Go4e5KgCLcB/s640/beechnut_grey_cece_stain%252Bfinish.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="http://cececaldwells.com/category/products/stains-finish/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CeCe Caldwell's Stain+Finish</a> is not only a natural stain, but actually contains a finish all in one and comes packaged in (yup, you guessed it) eco-friendly, recycled plastic containers and in five gorgeous colors. All of CeCe's products, including her bright and gorgeous (and truly all natural) <a href="http://cececaldwells.com/category/products/paint/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chalk+Clay Paints</a> are amazing. Their stain+finish is no exception, and definitely my favorite stain product on the market. Lately, I've taken to their brand new color, "Beech Nut Gray". It's super dreamy alone but mix in a touch of their "Kukui" color and the combination makes me downright heady. ::smile:: You can order their products through any of their incredible retailers. Just input your zip code <a href="http://cececaldwells.com/find-a-retailer/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE </a>and find the nearest one to you. You can also purchase it online through any of the awesome online retailers such as<a href="http://www.dooziescorner.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Doozie's Corner.</a><br />

<br />
<a href="http://www.milkpaint.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co.</a> makes me smile every time I use it. Why?

Nothing makes me happier than<a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/2015/06/shabby-chic-storage-milk-painted.html" target="_blank"> chippy furniture painted in OFMP</a>.

The stuff is amazing. You can do SO much with it! From staining to glazing...from wood surfaces to glass and metal...you can use it however your imagination guides you to! I just spent a week at SPiT headquarters helping to renovate their space with several other bloggers. Stay tuned for some posts on that and make sure you check out the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/UnicornSPiTGelStains/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">official Question and Answer group on FB.</a><br />

If you have seen my "How to DIY Green" stage presentation at any Home Show or at the Country Living Fair, you KNOW that I live by the words "Prep is key". You may have also heard me mention this next product. Honestly, it's the BEST degreaser, especially for kitchens and it's GREEN!<br />

Next up is my favorite way to strip furniture, all the while being SAFE and GREEN!<br />
SOY GEL! Did you know that you can even safely strip lead paint with this stuff? Well, you can! It actually encapsulates the lead particles so that they are not released into the air or environment!<br />
<br />

<br />
If you saw the photo above with my P and O paint, you might have noticed my favorite brush to paint with...the Cling On brush! It goes very well with my green paints and lasts forever, which reduces both waste and cost! This little one is great for detail work and blending! You can also buy them from retailers near you!<br />

Stay tuned to their website to see what else goes <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=379543&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">live on Black Friday itself</a>!<br />
<br />
Here are some of the gifts I made with MY Cricut Air 2. They're SO easy to make, and so unbelievably cute!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8x8-9crJJr8/WDW38tIwWCI/AAAAAAAAIHQ/D4aIyaYA9QQDYikyeNlZwnSxjbgSmcFdACLcB/s1600/brush_holder_cricut_eveyscreations.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8x8-9crJJr8/WDW38tIwWCI/AAAAAAAAIHQ/D4aIyaYA9QQDYikyeNlZwnSxjbgSmcFdACLcB/s640/brush_holder_cricut_eveyscreations.png" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
My Wunkie princess (that's my daughter's nickname if you're new to these parts), just LOVES art and painting. She is quite the budding artist. I post her sketches and paintings quite often on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BNA32Fwg-Ya/?taken-by=eveyscreations" target="_blank">Insta so you will have to go check them out there</a>! If you have been on my corner of the internet before, you may know that her room is purple and teal! She needed a special place to hold all of her artists brushes so I decided to make her a brush holder!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GMFloArSpNc/WDW6Z6xpYfI/AAAAAAAAIHY/lG00V35NjfEcFC2IJK-GiMkjpPC3zJcxgCLcB/s1600/brush_holder_diy_supplies.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GMFloArSpNc/WDW6Z6xpYfI/AAAAAAAAIHY/lG00V35NjfEcFC2IJK-GiMkjpPC3zJcxgCLcB/s640/brush_holder_diy_supplies.png" width="456" /></a></div>
<br />
All you need to do this is a <a href="https://www.dollartree.com/household/Candleholders-Glass-Candleholders-in-Bulk-1-Each-Dollartree-com/Smooth-Hurricane-Candle-Holders/500c911c911p30429/index.pro" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dollar Tree votive holder</a>, some <a href="http://amzn.to/2gBeJCm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Darice Fine Glitter in Purple</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/2frnzka" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luminous</a>, some <a href="http://amzn.to/2gL2zrt" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mod Podge</a>. and your favorite quote! I used a Van Gogh quote since Wunkie loves his work. It reads, "Art brings imagination to life."<br />
<br />
Using a brush, Mod Podge the inside of the votive holder, then quickly add the glitter, turning the glass so it evenly coats all of the cup. To do two colors, you must coat each layer separately and wait until the first layer is dry to apply the second one. Some people actually use a glaze coat inside once it's glittered and dry but I just sealed the glitter with a spray lacquer.<br />
<br />
For the quote, I used a font that I bought and imported into Design Space, and I cut it on some Adhesive Foil. One of my favorite things about using the Cricut, is that I can easily upload new fonts and images RIGHT into Design Space so I'm not limited to only what is available in my library. You can also purchase Cricut Access which gives you a WEALTH of fonts and images right at your fingertips!<br />
<br />
Pro-tip: Make sure you use an alcohol swab or wipe to clean the outside of the glass, then allow it to fully dry before applying the adhesive foil. This ensures proper adhesion and a long lasting product! <br />
<br />
She LOVES her new brush holder!<br />
<br />
Speaking of Wunkie...<br />

<br />
She's so cute, right?! I also made her this cute long sleeve shirt to wear for the holidays! Super easy to do, and she loves cookies so the design just made her day! I used Cricut Glitter Iron on in Gold. To see a trick on how I ensure that my designs are centered while applying HTV vinyl, check out my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BNKJfX9gfXs/?taken-by=eveyscreations" target="_blank">video on my Instagram</a>. Again, super easy to make on the Cricut Air2! Just remember to mirror your image in Design Space right before you cut! I speak from experience!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aZqiEpmOe24/WDW9_oUTXsI/AAAAAAAAIHw/daT8pyZNWQI3NIuA5RdjtSMY4KC5CFCYgCLcB/s1600/acrylic_longhorns_keychain_diy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aZqiEpmOe24/WDW9_oUTXsI/AAAAAAAAIHw/daT8pyZNWQI3NIuA5RdjtSMY4KC5CFCYgCLcB/s640/acrylic_longhorns_keychain_diy.png" width="440" /></a></div>
<br />
Here's another idea! I stumbled across a 'Blanks' group on FB one day and found a community of folks who create incredible designs on 'acrylic blanks'. Everything from ornaments to keychains! I figured I'd order some keychain blanks to make some gifts, and I gave it a try with the above design. Clearly I need to hone on my skill as some of the lettering is a bit shifted but I love my Longhorns keychain! I've seen people do awesome stuff like glitter the back and monogram the front to name a couple. I have about 20 more blanks so I can keep practicing and make some for my family! Weeding the tiny lettering was likely the toughest part of this project, but only because I have a hard time due to my RA. I'm sure it will get easier with time!<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed my ideas for some easy DIY Holiday gifts just in time for the holidays! I know I had a BLAST creating them! Please feel free to leave any questions in the comments and I will answer them to the best of my ability!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I'll be sharing my Holiday Gift Guide with a GREEN twist, so stay tuned for that! For those that celebrate Thanksgiving, HAPPY COOKING! I'll be in the kitchen baking some pies the rest of today!<br />

<br />
Hi y'all! One of my favorite things to do is style <a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/search?q=photoshoot&x=0&y=0" target="_blank">photoshoots</a>!<br />
<br />
I have done quite a few for my talented friend Stefanie of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ILoveStefaniePhotography/?fref=ts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stefanie Photography</a>!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">**Though I was compensated for this
post in product and/or monetarily, all opinions, ideas and comments are
100% my own. Please note: this post may also contain affiliate links.**</span> <br />
<br />
I also enjoy styling parties! When my kiddies were little, I had a BLAST! From <a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/2011/09/toy-story-costumes.html" target="_blank">Toy Story Parties</a>, to <a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/2013/04/dr-seuss-birthday-party-revisited.html" target="_blank">Dr Seuss</a> and of course,<a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/2012/09/a-minnie-mouse-party.html" target="_blank"> Minnie Mouse ones</a>, I styled them all using my ORIGINAL Cricut machines! I still have my <a href="http://amzn.to/2g3ki8a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Expression</a>!<br />
<br />
Yesterday was MICKEY MOUSE'S BIRTHDAY! Happy Birthday to the most famous mouse EVER!<br />
<br />
I thought I'd share this sweet Mickey Mouse-inspired photoshoot I styled last week for Stefanie, as well as take a look back at some of the Mickey/Minnie Inspired parties I've styled and show y'all how EASY with my brand new machine, the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Explore Air 2</a>!<br />

I was lucky enough to receive the<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Cricut Air 2</a> to review and compare it to previous models. I have my Expression as I mentioned, as well as the previous Explore Air.<br />
<br />
I figured I'd do it in a fun way! MICKEY MOUSE IS ALWAYS FUN! :)<br />

You can see the rest of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ILoveStefaniePhotography/posts/664670293713067" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">photos for this shoot on Stefanie's FB page here</a>. The sweet birthday boy was just SO precious, too!<br />
<br />
The banners were SO easy to make using my <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Air 2</a>! Best part, since I had to make a ton of Mickey heads, I went ahead and gave that new 'fast mode' a try! Did you know that the Cricut Air 2 cuts TWICE as fast as its predecessor?! Well, it does, and it's AWESOME!<br />
<br />
I found all of the elements for the banners either in Cricut Access (<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=327204&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here's coupon for 10% off the rest of your order if you sign up for Access</a>) or on the Mickey and Friends Cricut Cartridge which I had from A LONG time ago! <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=377597&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Here's a special link for the Cricut Thanksgiving sale</a>, you can buy Cricut cartridges for the lowest price of the season!<br />
<br />
I found a <a href="http://amzn.to/2fcH4wZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">stack of cardstock </a>in the colors I needed for the photoshoot and went to town cutting the Mickey heads! I punched holes out where I wanted to hang them, and then used red and white baker's twine to put the banner together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oe69dXMv3Us/WDCb_Q6-ynI/AAAAAAAAIFM/ugKugpv1FNghMl4x2Wkud3y3rwRN_oNYQCLcB/s1600/mickey_banner_cricut_eveyscreations.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oe69dXMv3Us/WDCb_Q6-ynI/AAAAAAAAIFM/ugKugpv1FNghMl4x2Wkud3y3rwRN_oNYQCLcB/s640/mickey_banner_cricut_eveyscreations.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The front banner was equally as easy. I used a banner found in Cricut Access and cut out each layer in Design Space using the colors I wanted and font I wanted. I put all layers together using my favorite <a href="http://amzn.to/2fcCVJq" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">permanent Crafter's tape roll</a>.<br />

Here's that Minnie Sweets table I did for my <a href="http://sweetsongbird.eveyscreations.com/search?q=minnie+mouse&x=0&y=0" target="_blank">daughter's 5th birthday</a> from LONG ago! Don't judge the picture, my photo skills were not that great back then!<br />

Though I loved my Cricut Expression back then, the brand new <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Explore Air 2</a> definitely makes life SO much easier. Gone are the days of having to purchase the physical cartridges, or being limited to just whatever cartridge you owned. The ease of being able to purchase images and fonts RIGHT in Design Space make for a more fun experience! Also, did you know that you can upload your OWN images and fonts into Design Space!? Well, you can!<br />
<br />
So Happy Birthday Mickey, and make sure YOU check out the new Air 2 from Cricut! It makes styling both Photoshoots AND Birthdays a breeze!<br />
<br />
What fun Disney projects have YOU done?! Please share them with me in the comments!<br />
<br />
A huge thank you to Cricut for continuing to support my crafting habit! ;)<br />

Hi y'all!<br />
<br />
If you follow me on Insta or FB, you may have noticed I've been having a ton of <a href="http://us.cricut.com/home/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut </a>fun lately! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-chSX8WFy-l4/V_tExblR0YI/AAAAAAAAIAU/08dICUY8n30nVigF_e2Chfo71e4vqOhEQCLcB/s1600/say_it_with_cricut_southwest_christmas_vinyl_cut.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-chSX8WFy-l4/V_tExblR0YI/AAAAAAAAIAU/08dICUY8n30nVigF_e2Chfo71e4vqOhEQCLcB/s640/say_it_with_cricut_southwest_christmas_vinyl_cut.png" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
It's been a BLAST! I got to take it to the Capital Home Show a couple weekends ago, and have been making shirts galore, as well as some fun DIY hand-painted and stained signs, and custom home decor on the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=374409&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Explore Air</a>.<br />
<br />

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w42-L07wmbo/WBrOed7TfVI/AAAAAAAAIDI/uq1TvGnbppgaxrTMxcVmZXA2p31Wera5gCLcB/s1600/got_milk_paint_tshirt_cricut_DIY.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w42-L07wmbo/WBrOed7TfVI/AAAAAAAAIDI/uq1TvGnbppgaxrTMxcVmZXA2p31Wera5gCLcB/s640/got_milk_paint_tshirt_cricut_DIY.png" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
I made a custom Home Show presentation shirt with this silver glitter iron on vinyl!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zGcHmA0XmrY/WBrOVpohTDI/AAAAAAAAIDE/F_WuklpyB0cuKUkoQ4GnO8qH3ebSaAdEwCLcB/s1600/eveyscreations_unicorn_tshirt_DIY_cricut.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zGcHmA0XmrY/WBrOVpohTDI/AAAAAAAAIDE/F_WuklpyB0cuKUkoQ4GnO8qH3ebSaAdEwCLcB/s640/eveyscreations_unicorn_tshirt_DIY_cricut.png" width="390" /></a></div>
<br />
Then mixed it up and made a Unicorn-themed tshirt for myself. I wore it to the Show, as well as sight seeing! You'll see both in upcoming blog tutorials.<br />

Just recently, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=372691&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut released the Air 2</a>! This machine is just amazing! Not only does it come in all the above yummy colors, BUT it cuts and writes 2xs as fast as its predecessor. It boasts a dual housing system for the ability to cut and print at the push of ONE button, and it's wireless!<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to be invited to be one of the featured Home Decor bloggers for the NYC launch and Holiday Media event! It was held at non other than the incredible Gramercy Park Hotel's Terrace. Our station definitely had the best space! We set up in this gorgeous room with the most unique lighting structure that I've ever seen, made of Edison bulbs. <br />
<br />

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9xL60jDJk74/WBrV6HdoarI/AAAAAAAAIDk/vU4DD27Q2jE-E3694ynZ11BSH2egZHG2wCLcB/s1600/Gramercy_Hotel_rooftop_terrace_cricut_event_.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9xL60jDJk74/WBrV6HdoarI/AAAAAAAAIDk/vU4DD27Q2jE-E3694ynZ11BSH2egZHG2wCLcB/s640/Gramercy_Hotel_rooftop_terrace_cricut_event_.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
We made some signs and other home decor items with which to decorate our space and set up our station in the center of the room.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5rUiIU2wCDI/WBrYobRHdOI/AAAAAAAAIDw/YSjOHHFwSfYWT38-_7b1DsBlDc3ThOWSgCLcB/s1600/decor_cricut_air.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5rUiIU2wCDI/WBrYobRHdOI/AAAAAAAAIDw/YSjOHHFwSfYWT38-_7b1DsBlDc3ThOWSgCLcB/s640/decor_cricut_air.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Over 30 members of the NYC elite media were invited to see the incredible Air 2 in action and to craft with us and the other bloggers at the "Say it with Cricut" Holiday Media Mixer.<br />
<br />
I decided to make decorative pillow covers for our project. The theme was Southwestern Christmas. Why? Well, because I grew up in Texas and love anything southwestern. I especially love these patterns and vibrant colors.<br />
<br />
I found the <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us/southwest.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Southwest Digital Cartridge</a> on <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=327204&m=51766&u=942017" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cricut Access</a> and knew it would definitely have some awesome patterns for me to play with.<br />
<br />
Here's my design for the one we made with the attendees of the event.<br />

<br />
The font I used is called "Sweet Pea" and is one of my favorites. You can buy the font online, just search it. <br />

<br />
I just love the <a href="http://amzn.to/2eCdWwi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">turquoise glitter iron on vinyl</a>, as well as the copper metallic iron on vinyl. You must cut your different types of iron on according to your custom settings on your Cricut Air series.<br />
<br />
Iron on each layer, one after the other, and spend a little extra time and apply a little more pressure to the glitter iron on. It's thicker than the rest and needs a little extra heat. Pro tip, prior to adhering the iron on, crease your pillow cover down to make it easier to find the center of it for your pattern. <br />
<br />

<br />
Here's an extra cover, keeping with the southwestern theme. Nothing says Texas or Southwest quite like a Longhorn skull does. :)<br />
<br />
There truly is no place like home for the holidays, and the Southwest is home to me. I'd love to know, how will YOU "say it with Cricut" for the holidays?<br />
<br />
Thank you to the Cricut team for the amazing event and thank you to all the members of the media that came out to craft with us!<br />
