Paper Doll Wall Art {Tutorial}

This almost doesn't even classify as a tutorial because it's just so simple. The idea came to me about 5 years ago. I am a big Mary Engelbreit fan and was getting her magazine, Home Companion, at the time. Every issue had her adorable characters in them in the form of paper dolls. The dolls were on cardstock and way too cute to just leave in the magazine. I don't remember if I saw the idea somewhere or if I just had a genius moment, but I decided to cut out a few of the paper doll sets and frame them for my daughter's room.

I just bought three basic white frames and some scrapbook paper.

Cut out the paper dolls and place them in whatever arrangement you want.

It's that easy! I loved this wall art! It is a little bit faded from being in direct sunlight for 5 years, but still one of my favorite ideas for a girl's room. Easy art!

I'm sharing this with some of these parties.

Butterfly Silhouette Art {Tutorial}

Confession. Sometimes I find some really great deals on neat stuff that I'm looking for. And sometimes I find some really great deals on neat stuff that I didn't know I was looking for and have no idea where I'm going to use it {but I buy it anyway - because it was a great deal!}. I know I'm not the only one.

I found this wall art at Goodwill about 2 years ago for $3 and it has been sitting around waiting for me to use it. I'll use the birdcage for another project, but the butterflies were perfect for this!

Subway Art {Free Printables & a Tutorial}

I love subway art. I'm not sure what about it makes me love it, but it's just very pleasing to the eye. The other day, I was browsing around Pinterest {where you can find a lot of examples of subway art} and found this one for Easter. Yes, I said Easter and we're just getting started in March. It's technically not even Spring yet, but I think Easter should be celebrated all year long. So, I printed it out and just happened to have the perfect frame I had bought from Goodwill awhile back to put it in. It is matted, but has no glass. It's perfect!

My brother made me these for Christmas and I just love them! I'm still waiting for Hubs to hang them up, though. Maybe tomorrow I can get him to do it!

If you'd like to make your own, I found a great tutorial! I'm totally going to give it a try! Can't have too much subway art!
