This week, I’ve been sharing the details of the Easter vignette I put together in my entry. No Easter decor is complete without a reminder of the joy and hope of Easter – the cross! – and today, I’m sharing how I made the framed dimensional cross for the display. This is such a quick and…

Fluttering Butterfly Ornaments
Just in time to create my Easter Vignette, I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the dies from the brand-new Blossom release debuting today over at Lifestyle Crafts. I absolutely loved the butterfly die from the release so much, I knew I wanted to use it to make ornaments for my Easter…
Polka Dot Easter Vignette
Our house has what we New Mexicans call a “nicho,” or a little area recessed into the wall, on one side of the hall leading in from our front door. Since this space is the closest thing we have to a formal entry, I like to use this little spot as a place to showcase…

Pound cakes, cobblers and shortcake are obvious contenders, but one of my absolute favorites is actually the least likely of all: Buttermilk Pie. As is typical of chess…
Framed Carrot Easter Decor
Aside from the Canvas Bunny Buckets I shared a few weeks back, I had yet to create anything else Easter-related until this week. I had a few extra minutes during naptime a couple of days ago, so I decided to remedy that! This super-quick, super-easy framed carrot Easter decor is a snap to put together,…
