Redecorating bedrooms

I have been painting My kids' bedrooms. This is the end result. I got everything at Walmart :]

I found these colors of paint at Walmart and bought it in the Dutch Boy brand and thought it was good paint.

The bedding is Mainstays Ombre Bed in a Bag, Grey. The valence on the window is Mainstays Bennett Window Valence. I found the red throw pillow in the store. The long pillow is one that matches another bed in a bag set. The black blankets at the end of the bed are Microplush blankets...the boys love them. They are super soft! The roller cart worked great between the beds for the alarm clock and the light.

For this room I used Kilz brand paints. The lighter wall is the Alaskan Sky and the darker wall is Saxaphone solo. I got the paint at Walmart in the Kilz brand.



The bedding on the top bed is American Kids All Star bedding. I got the comforter, sheets, and blanket (which I found in the store). The bottom bed has the Dallas Cowboys bedding set, My son already had the throw pillow but it is sold at walmart, I also got the Window Valence online. The roller cart works great and it matched pretty good.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Card


This card is based off a sketch by Becky Fleck on her blog. I used Basic Grey Kioshi papers. I paper pieced the bunny. The bunny pattern is by Windows of Time. (It is the April pattern for the Simplicity patterns for a calendar she made.)
Thanks for looking! Have a great day!

Cards and Card Box

Here's my upload for House of Paper this week.
First I made this card box. I constructed the box out of white Bazzill. Then I used Basic Grey Green at Heart paper to put on the box. I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the decorative edge. I folded the flower out of cardstock.

I made these cards that can go in my card box. Ive decided I need to make cards up ahead of time so I have them on hand when I need them.

On the first card (top left) I used Basic Grey Green at Heart papers. The flower is folded out of cardstock. The second card (top right) I just used White and Blue cardstock. The whale and the word whale was cut out of some 3 Bugs Animal Alphabet paper. Cute huh? The third card (bottom left) uses more Basic Grey Green at Heart papers. The stamp is a Heidi Swapp stamp (Thank You). The last card (bottom right) uses Pink Paislee 365 Degrees paper. The sheep is cut out of the 3 Bugs Animal Alphabet paper. I thought it turned out cute.


Anyone know where I can buy a white Sharpie? My lss that used to sell them has closed so now I dont know where to get them and mine ran out.

More layouts

The assignment for this week at House of Paper was to scrap the ups and downs of parenthood. I chose to do ups for mine. Both of these layouts show my children succeeding and I think that is a great "up" for a parent.
I used Bazzill cardstock and Pink Paislee papers on both of these layouts.

Thanks for dropping by!
