Egg-stra Sweet Spring Quote Vignette

Hey guys and gals! 

How has your week been?!

Mine has been wonderful, but I can hardly wait for this weekend to begin!

My little baby sister is going to be here visiting and we are going to have nonstop girl time!!!

Yahoo!!!  I can hardly wait!

Today I thought I would share a project that I shared over at one of my most favorite blogs: It's Overflowing.

Aimee Had an amazing Easter Egg Hunt series----TRUST me it is worth checking out!  

WOW are there some GREAT egg decorating ideas!!!!

Here is my little egg project.

And for those of you who think I need an intervention from my dollar store stamps

:o)

I promise this will be the last one for awhile!!!

I am all for sweet and simple.

And if it has a special quote I am all about it.

So this center piece for my Easter decor works well!

You will need:

Eggs--large and small {I had some from past years and past projects that I up-cycled}

Paint-I used "Duck Egg Blue" Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

Dollar section stamps from your local craft store

A stamp pad

Just paint your eggs up,

and add your quote with your stamps and stamp pad.

Crafty Scrappy Happy Me. Thursday {28} & A Personalized Dog Treat Container

Happy Mid-week my friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful day!

I can't wait to see what you have been up to this week!!!

But first I wanted to share another stamp-y ooh so "Jaime" project! 

I just can't seem to stop with these darn stamps----

I think the last 4 projects that I have done I have used them!

And I am still SUPER obsessed!

Check out this personalized dog treat container.

This project was super simple, but I thought it was still worth sharing because....

I get to share some pictures of my loves.

Meet Quinny---my old white faced baby.

She comes in at a young age of 10 and 1/2 years old.

And I adore her.

And then there is Kylie---the 5 year old baby.

Who can melt your heart with her puppy face.

If ever there is a quote that is true in my life, it is this one.

I adore my dogs and they truly complete my life.

As far as details go, I used painted the background with black paint {I used graphite chalk paint} and then stamped on the words with a white ink pad.

Just like my last few projects, I used my dollar section stamps to do the lettering.

The words are not all lined up or perfect, but I love them just as they are!

Quinny and Kylie were pretty excited about this craft too.

I think that might have something to do with the amount of treats they got while I was working on it.

But I can't be sure.

I am linking up to a few of my favorite link parties---you can check them out here.

Spring Mantle and a DIY Canvas

Hello friends!

I hope you had a great weekend!

I was able to enjoy the last sun we are going to see around here for a while & I had some more time to craft and decorate for the spring!

Once again I played with my dollar stamp set....

{Can you tell I am having fun with it---I  mean this is only my 4th project with this same crafty look!}

This time I made myself a simple canvas.

Nothing exciting, nothing extravagant, but a quote that I love.

And the simplicity that I love.

Just enough to give me a change for the spring.

For this project I just started with a blank canvas and used my trusty dollar section alphabet stamp set {I found mine at Michael's craft store!} to write out the quote. I used just a plain black ink this time.

I didn't worry about lining up the text, I just embraced the messy imperfect look of the words being uneven and the sentences and word placement being a bit random.

It bothers me that I messed up one of the words---{can you find it?} butttt I decided it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.And this project makes me happy.{I am linking up to a few of my favorite crafty parties---be sure to check them out for some great inspiration!} 

Spring Decor and DIY Pitcher with Quote

Happy ALMOST weekend my friends!

I have been having a blast crafting lately!

And I am SO in love with spring and spring decor.

My projects lately have been ohhh so exactly what I would call "Jaime" projects.

They are meaningful, they are simple and so I love them.

"Jaime" projects are

projects that I am enjoying, I kind of, sort of, feel like I am getting back to the basics of my crafting and creating---

which is kind of exactly what I was doing when I first started blogging...

and I think that is okay.

Kind of fun.

Kind of cool.

I just did a simple up-cycle with this pitcher that I picked up last spring.

I stamped on a favorite and meaningful quote with my most favorite craft "thing" at the moment---

my dollar section alphabet stamp set.

I used StazOn ink because it is a permanent ink that will adhere to shiny surfaces.

I think the quote added a lot and it made the pitcher special to me.

My first offical spring decor project!

Just in case you missed my guest post----

This is my first official spring project!

It is unseasonably warm in my home state of Wisconsin and I am officially in spring decor mode.

Ohhh how I love the light and white decor.

My little plaque was a simple project with just a couple of simple steps.

I added the wording with a black ink pad and some lettered stamps that I got from the dollar section of a craft store.

I added the stripes using strips of contact paper as my guide---mainly because it peels off easily and it is simple to measure and cut.

Finally I added some bakers twine and a scrap of fabric from one of my husbands old shirts that just happened to match!

Sweet, simple and imperfect--just my style!

And it fits right in with spring decor!

I am linking up to a few of my favorite link parties---be sure to check them out!!!
