Creating with Joy

With the addition of a granddaughter to our family, I am getting to make all kinds of cute crafts these days. Last year she was really too young to enjoy Easter, but this year she will be 18 months so the Easter Bunny will be making an appearance! For this project, I upcycled  a bunny from the […]

As a gift for my hubs this year, I created this mini Valentine canvas using Joy Embroidered Letters. This little project was so easy and fun to make! I started by spraying a mini canvas with silver ink and heat drying. Then I colored a jar shape (diecut from mat board) red and beige with two […]
