I found this over at Life's Sweeter with Chocolate.  Isn't it gorgeous?  She used vintage bathroom tiles and made her own frames.  She's got a tutorial over there.  I love how it turned out.  It looks so great with the chocolate brown walls and the white wainscotting.  Speaking of wainscotting, The Idea Room has a do it yourself tutorial for that.

Spring Inspirations

Can you tell I'm a little preoccupied with the idea of Spring right now?  I kind of skipped over the whole St. Patrick's Day thing and went right for Spring.  Maybe it's because I live in Washington and after several months of rain you really look forward to some sunshine :)
Here are some things I'm loving right now.

These adorable paper pomanders I found over at Whipper Berry.  They are super easy too.  I am definitely going to make some of these!

Okay, I am REALLY in love with this Spring printable from Kiki Creates!  So much so that I'm going to nix the idea of making one myself, because let's face it, I don't think I could make one any cuter than this.  I'm going to use it in my remaining empty mantel frame.  Now I just have to decide which color to choose.

 I love this rag wreath I found over at The Magic of Ordinary Things.  Hers is a St. Patrick's Day one, but I have a bunch of cute spring fabrics scraps lying around so I am thinking of making one.  I've never made one yet, but they look super easy. 

Last but not least, I LOVE this message board!  I've seen these before but I just love the fabric on this one over at This & That!  It would look so amazing on my Spring mantel with "Welcome Spring" or something like that written on it.  I'm not sure if I'll be able to make one just yet though because I don't have any good frames lying around, and  you know how expensive those things can be if you don't hold out for a good deal!

Just a reminder about the Spring Mantel party.  It starts March 7th, I hope you're all planning to link up!  There will be prizes!  Click here to read the details.

Iron on Fabric Wall Art

Rachel over at Wild Whitney's has caught my eye again.  I'm telling you, you want to follow this girl.  I never would have thought to try ironing fabric onto my walls, but look how cute it turned out!

I love new, innovative ideas!

Some Fun Spring Printables

Yesterday I couldn't think about my Spring mantel because we had snow!  Here's me and the little bubs playing :)  It's weird how un-tired I've been lately.  I feel like a woman who's 8 months pregnant should be more tired.  I have been staying up late enjoying my me time, and haven't really been feeling any effects of it.  Weird!

Anyways, today I'm back to thinking about my Spring mantel.  Here are a couple fun spring printables I've found so far. 

Oh Happy Day at Sprik Space

Subway Art at A Little Bit of Everything

Dalmation Paw-ty

I always love looking at party decor in blogland.  People put together the most impressive parties, I love it!  Look at this darling dalmation "paw-ty" I found over at Love, Laughter, and Decor.

Idea Sharin' Wednesday Features

Looking at your projects yesterday seriously made my day.  It was one of those days.  You know the kind?  Where you envy your hubby for getting to leave the house for several hours a day, lol.  Anyways, there were some fabulous things linked up.  Here's a couple:

Infinity Dress at A Law Student's Journey.  Haven't heard of infinity dresses?  I hadn't either, here's the basic idea:

You make the dress with really long straps so you can alter it to be several different dresses.  What a fabulous idea!

Another tempting treat over at Inside BruCrew Life.  Reese's Bananna Brownie Cups, sounds amazing!

Becca from Home is Where my Story Begins made this fun writing supply center for her kiddos.  I studied Early Childhood Ed. so this brings a smile to my face!  I know my literacy professor would have great things to say about it :)

Check out this amazing door re-do at Keen Inspirations.  {It's not actually wood!}

Thanks to everyone who linked up their projects!!!

You won't believe what these are made of!

First off, have you linked up to Idea Sharin' Wednesday yet?

**************

Okay I am in love with both these projects from Suzy's Artsy Crafty Sitcom!  I'm sitting here wondering whether I have the skill to actually pull it off like she did.  Hmmmm.  Well, should I let you in on the secret?  They're made of toilet paper rolls!  You really can make something out of anything if you're clever enough.  Head on over there and check it out!  Here's the link to the tutorial for the wall art and here's the one for the picture frame one.

Idea Sharin' Wednesday and My Cheap Spring Mantel Art

I've been working on my spring mantel.  I've still got a ways to go and I won't be revealing the finished product until the Spring Mantel Party, but I want to share what I was working on today.

Here's where I started:

3 Dollar Store Frames

Here's what I did:

I painted the brown and black ones white.  Spray paint would be easiest, but acrylic paint is so much cheaper, so that's what I used.  It took 3 coats to bring them up to par but they turned out good! 

The frame on the left is yet to be used.  I'm working on a spring printable for it which I will of course share with all of you as soon as it's ready.

For the black frame, once I painted it white and let it dry, I cut out a piece of this cute scrapbook paper I bought at Micheal's today.

As you can see I added the "Love Birds" using mod podge.  I tried using just the paper, but it needed a little extra something.  So I used my Cricut and my beloved Sure Cuts A Lot {If you haven't heard of it, look it up!  It allows you to use all the fonts and shapes you have on your computer on your Cricut.  No more cartridges!}  I used some other scrapbooking paper, grilled cheese font in size 0.8 inches and cut out my letters.

Here's the finished product.  It cost me $2.20 for the frame, a piece of scrapbooking paper, and some acrylic paint.  I think it will look great on my mantel!

And now for the square white frame:

I used some scrap fabric to make a rolled fabric flower.  I used this tutorial.  The only things I did differently were using hot glue instead of fabric glue and I skipped the last step of backing it and just glued it right onto my frame.  This was my first time making a rolled fabric flower.  I LOVE it!

And the picture was simple.  Once again, I just cut out a cute part of a piece of scrapbooking paper.  Since this frame is much smaller and the little birdie takes up most of it, it didn't need any embellishing.  Look how cute it turned out:

This one cost me even less, about $1.59 for the frame and the scrapbooking paper. As you can see, I'm attaching it to my mirror.  I'm loving how the mantel is coming together :)

And now for your projects!

Cheesecake Pops

Okay, I'm adding these to my to-do list because my husband LOVES cheesecake!  And they're so dang cute!  Someday when I'm feeling extra sweet and have the energy {now that's the clincher, let's face it I'm 8 months pregnant and once I'm finally relieved of that I'll have a one year old and an infant!} I'm definitely going to make them for him. 

Find out how over at A Pumpkin and a Princess.

*************

Don't forget about Idea Sharin' Wednesday tomorrow!  I'm going to be scheduling it to post at 5:00 AM Pacific time.  AND I'm even going to have a project/tutorial of my own in the post.  I'm not sure which one yet because I'm currently in the middle of about 5, so we'll see which one I can manage to wrap up tonight.  Hope to see you all there! 

AM-A-ZING Vinyl Designs! My review and a code for a free vinyl cutout with any purchase.

Meet Designed Designer:

I am seriously so in love with them!  They have the CUTEST vinyl designs I have seen anywhere!  Every single design in their shop has a serious wow factor!  When I first stumbled upon their shop I knew I HAD to have one of their cute nursery designs for my little guy (soon to be little guys).  The biggest problem is choosing one because there are so many cute ones!

They also have amazing living room and bedroom decals:

And all of their designs are customizable!  I ended up settling on the Hooting Owl on Woodland Tree.  I chose a dark brown for the tree and sky blue for the berries and owl.  Here's how it turned out:

Gorgeous, right?  Everyone who's seen it so far has been beyond impressed.  I never get sick of seeing their jaw drop :)  It's perfect.  It makes the whole nursery!  I smile every time I walk in there.

Designed Designer was great to work with.  They are friendly and prompt!  And the vinyl comes on transfer paper, all ready to apply.  It takes a little time to apply a cutout of this size but the instructions could not possibly be more clear.  And it's not hard!  We were able to get ours on perfectly.  You cannot spot a flaw anywhere, even on close inspection. 

I could not possibly be happier with Designed Designer.  I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Designed Designer has offered this adorable owl cutout free with any purchase for Women Who Do It All readers.  Just enter the code "FREEOWL11W" in the comments to seller in checkout. 

WINNER!

The lucky winner of the Five to Nine Shabby Apple Dress is. . . Martinelli Gold from The Writer-Coaster

Congrats!  Email me at womenwhodoitall@gmail.com so we can get you your dress.  If I don't hear from you soon I'll contact you via a comment on your blog. 

For everyone else, I have to say, keep entering giveaways and it will pay off.  I swear before blogging I never won anything in my life.  Now it seems like whenever I actually sit down and enter several giveaways I usually win one.  And my sister says the same thing, so either we've gotten incredibly lucky or your odds of winning every once in a while are actually pretty good.  Example?  I JUST saw that I won this cute apron from a giveaway over at Faith, Trust, and a Little Pixie Dust!  Yay :)

Hope you all had a fabulous President's Day :)

Simple, Elegant Burlap Rose Wreath
