More Wall Art - Scrapbook Style




Nesting.  Crafting.  Resting.  More Nesting!  Thank goodness for nesting though.  There are quite a few "empty places" in my house that need a decorative touch! 

Here are some projects I worked on last night.  All of them were scrapbooked (or used scrapbooking material) and some picture frames I either had laying around or purchased at the dollar store.  I decorated my guest bathroom and a wall in our master bedroom for under $5.00 (for BOTH!).  It doesn't get much better than that and I am quite satisfied (and proud) of my simple creations.

Guest Bathroom Wall Art:


Picture frames - Dollar Store - $1.00 each =$2.00
Scrapbook Paper - Michael's - 7 for $1.00 ($0.15 each) = $0.30
Large Butterfly Wall Decals - Sheet of 8 - Dollar Store = $1.00
Blue/White cardstock (scraps) - Free
Small Butterfly - butterfly punch - Free
TOTAL COST:  $3.30
p.s. the additional butterflies from the wall decals sheet are now on the mirror adjacent the picture frames so it all flows :)

Master Bedroom Wall Art:



Scrapbook Frames - gifted by sister-in-law = FREE
Scrapbook Paper - Michaels - 7 for $1.00 = $0.45
Printed Pictures - $0.19 each = $0.76
Johnny & June letters - Scrap paper - Cricut to cut = FREE
Flowers/Embellishments - scraps on hand = FREE
Lyrics to song/Scrapbook paper - Printer/scrap paper on hand = FREE
TOTAL COST:  $1.21
p.s.  Johnny & June is our "nicknames" based on the Johnny & June Cash love story and the basis for the theme of our wedding.

Stay posted for more projects!  I'm working my way down the list and it feels great to have 2 items ticked off!  Love my new artwork and newly decorated walls.  It's refreshing.

DIY Wall Art

My first Pinterest project complete!  And I could be more pleased.  My house has been sitting stale with little to no decoration and bare gray walls.  Between nesting and my desire to make our home both cheerful and homey, I decided to take up some DIY projects rather than spend a fortune on artwork that means nothing to me.  Ryan like the idea of Wall Art -- quite literally, pieces of wood covered in coordinating scrapbook papers.  I love how this turned out and it adds so much color and life to our living room!  Now all I need is to find the right sconces to go on either side and the wall above our couch will be complete!
