DIY Letters for Kids room

I feel like this little blog of mine has been suffering a little bit ever since i opened up my etsy shop and photography business. So much of my "free" time is spent making dream catchers or editing photos that I haven't had any time for DIY projects. Which is part of the reason I started this blog ! So I will certainly be bringing more crafts and recipes back to the blog ! But for now here is an old DIY I made for Kyler's room before I had him. This was posted to my old tumblr account and seems to get pinned a lot so i thought I would share it on here to ! 

You will need -

Letters (any kind or size works, i just used the ones they sell at paper source for  $3.95 a letter), Scrapbook paper, Scissors, x-acto knife, modge podge (i used Lineco neutral ph adhesive -also from the paper source) and a paint brush for spreading the glue.

First you want to line your letters up on the paper and cut them out in squares

Than you want to flip your scrapbook paper over so your placing the glue side down on the blank side and you want to spread the adhesive all around the letter getting close to the edges

Flip the letter onto the paper and smooth the paper over the letter so it sticks really well , than let all your letters dry for about 5 minutes.

Once they are dry take your x-acto knife and a cutting pad (if you dont have a cutting pad like me just use a piece of wood that you dont mine cutting on) and cut around the edges of your letters.

And thats all ! It should look like this when your done ...

So there you have it - an inexpensive and quick project! The total coast was under $30 dollars and only took about 30 minutes or less to make!

We hung ours on kyler's wall when he was just a little baby ! But now that he is one he has less of a newborn looking room which you can see HERE

Kyler's Woodland First Birthday Party

I apologize in advance for the serious photo dump here but I cant help myself it was to hard to choose which ones to share ! We hired a photographer to take photos of his party because I knew i wanted to capture all the details of it but not have to be stuck behind the camera all day ! I just knew I had to have Jen from It's Love Photography , not only is she one of the best photographers I have come across but she is also a dear friend of mine from college ! Jen is an incredibly talented photographer and I knew she would capture every detail of the day which left me free to relax and enjoy the party ! Thank you so much Jen you did an incredible job !

I chose a woodland theme for Kyler's party because not only do I love woodland things but he has the cutest little Fox he sleeps with every night so I new i somehow wanted to incorporate that into the party! His party was very affordable, I pulled tons of decorations from around the house to use, crafted all the rest and borrowed tables and chairs from davids work. The main expense was the food but that was also super affordable, we baked a lot of it and than got the rest from costco (they have awesome desserts). We had an afternoon party so we just did a dessert table and than a snack/appetizer table! I couldn't have been more happy with how everything turned out ! We had such a great day celebrating with loved ones !
