Craft Day!!!

So, today I decided to do some crafts for my baby's room. On my way home from work, I stopped at the scrapbook store, and got some cute scrapbook papers. I then framed the cute papers in a big frame that I bought at work (today, lol).

After I finished framing :)

On the wall in baby's room. Wall by the windows.
After I was done doing this, which didn't take much time, I decided to make some labels for the baskets in the bookshelf. I used the left overs blue papers I used in the framed art with some card stocks I've already had in my scrapbook drawer. I used some left overs velcro that I had to attach the labels to the baskets. At first, I wanted to use grads. I don't have a label maker yet, so I just hand wrote on the labels myself.

Here's the label for the stuffed animals basket, lol. 

I need to get another wooden toy to fill the empty cube, hihi.
I love wooden toys.
Once that was done, I decided to finally do my baby wreath. I used yarn, and a whole bunch of cardboard animals (and others) decorations that I got at the scrapbook store. The glue gun was really effective for this little project. I didn't buy any foam wreath. What I did is use a foam form that came with the changing pad I got a while ago, then shaped the form to make it look like a wreath, I know I am so cheap, lol. I wrapped the yarn around the wreath and went on  gluing. I used a dotted ribbon to hang the wreath on the door. The back ground paper I used in the framed art has dots on it, so I thought it will all kind of flow together :).

Note: The foam I used wasn't really big around,
so the wreath doesn't really look big and bulky. Maybe I'll get a REAL wreath at Michael's
when we go to Edmonton next week, we'll see!

If you noticed, there are a lot of elephants, monkeys, lions in my crafts. We decided to go with a jungle theme for baby's room.
I still have a few crafts that I want to do for my baby's room. I have to finished the book ends we started to do. Also, I want to frame 3 more artsy craft papers to put on the wall where the crib is. The baby's room has a really warm mood to it, and I thought that I would use colors in the accessories.

Here's a picture of the unfinished book ends. What I did is buy some cheap wooden letters cubes at the dollar store, then glued them together. I just need to buy some MDF to glue the letters on to make the shape of the book ends, so that it would be heavy enough to hold the books.


I have enjoyed my day today :))))
