Cheetah Print meets Carnival



I love this picture!
SO funny!!!

So I was in a wedding this past
weekend in CA! It was
a blast and so much fun!

Just some pics from the fabulous EVENT!





Yes... they had a ferris wheel at their wedding!
The couple actually got engaged
on a ferris wheel, so they had to keep the
theme going!











This doughnut bar was an
absolute HIT!
EVERYONE was loving all these doughnuts!

The names are so cute for these drinks!












The photographer was
Burntexposure
I absolutely LOVED his work!
They turned out so awesome!

We took a hike up Provo Canyon today
in honor of this glorious day!
These are a few pics

This is a dead elk just
lying there! EWW!

Patio Loviness

The SUMMER is coming up
and I thought it was time to do
a little upgrade with what I had to work with
for a sorry excuse of a patio...
But at least I have one right?!


It was quite the job to find these
beauties!

Target:
Patterned Pillows ($12.99) & Solar Lantern ($12.99)

Walmart:
Folding Red Chairs ($19.99) & Brown Table ($8.50)

I am very pleased with what it came out to be!
I love having the option to go out
there and enjoy the sun,
read, eat, or sit in my robe and pluck my eyebrows! :)

Doily Canvas Art


It's really easy to make, and you only need a few supplies;
Doilies Rub-ons
Blank Canvas (mine is 8" x 10")
Decoupage


First cut out some of the Doilies Rub-ons are start putting them on the Canvas.


Keep putting more of the doilies on the canvas to make a nice arrangement. Alternate using the different rub-on colors. You can also layer them on top of each other, this adds some nice dimension.


I just used a popsicle stick as my rub-on tool. They will transfer on easily, but make sure they are really adhered good, you should see the canvas texture show through the rub-ons.


To protect the rub-ons use a decoupage, and paint on a thin layer over the whole canvas. Don't worry it dries clear. I used the Collage Pauge Instant Decoupage designs by Traci in matte (it also comes in glossy).


That's it - really simple and easy! I've already had some compliments on it from some friends. I can't wait to make more canvases with the other rub-on designs.
