I am trying something new today. People all over blogland make the cutest printables. I followed a tutorial on how to do it from here, so here goes nothing! I love the original “Keep Calm and Carry On” and all the variations people come up with. Here’s my contribution to the Keep Calm line.

Congratulations Latanya! I sent an email- please reply within 48 hours or I’ll have to choose a new winner! Now, on to today’s project. We moved my baby out of his crib, which means he’s not really a baby anymore! Sniff…. So, that means my boys are sharing a room, and my daughter gets her own room! Makeover! My daughter, who is almost seven, decided on a ballet theme for her room. I’m not one for characters and themes in bedding- I prefer to choose a color scheme and use the accessories to create the theme. So, here is my first project for her room: Ballerina Vinyl Wall Art. 
I cut these shapes from adhesive vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo. After adhering them to the wall, I thought- wouldn’t it be fun if I gave them little tutus? So, I cut up some tulle from one of my daughter’s old tutus, then scrunched it up and hot-glued it to the ballerinas. I don’t know if I should have used hot glue, but I did and it worked great! I love the three-dimensional look! 
I finished it off with a quote appropriate for the room. 
Simple, fun, and best of all- free! (Well, kind of. I had everything on hand.)
Sharing at some of my favorite link parties this week: I hope you’ll join in and party with me! Have a great week.
It’s my bloggy birthday, and my real-life birthday is coming up soon! Let’s celebrate!
Thanks for coming back today! Before we get to the last giveaway, please make sure to enter all the giveaways this week. They can be found here. All giveaways are open until midnight on Sunday the 13th.
Now, on to the show…..My final giveaway is simple and hopefully really useful. Any crafter knows a great place to shop is Michael’s. It’s dangerously close to my house, and I go there ALL THE TIME (much to the chagrin of my husband and boys). I only get through it with the promise of lollipops at the end, but hey- it’s worth it!
Today I’m giving away a $25 Michael’s gift card. Need a stack of scrapbook paper? That’ll cover it. How about some paint and supplies? No problem. A little home decor? $25 will pick you up something cute, especially with your 40% off coupon that is on their site weekly.
Simply use the Rafflecopter form below to enter. Good luck!
Finally, please come back this afternoon for a HUGE announcement about my blog. You won’t want to miss it 🙂
