Simple Sunflower Wall Art

Hello & Welcome,
Let me show you how easy it is to embellish a sunflower canvas.  I found this pretty yet plain canvas very cheaply at a dollar discount store.  The simplicity of nature is pefect for Autumn home decor.  I just knew I could improve it by adding some Dew Drops.  Super quick, super simple, and nearly like a paint by numbers kit.  Once you find a canvas design you love, you can't really go wrong!  The complete tutorial for this project can be found HERE on The Robin's Nest Blog.

Stunning Glitter Sunflower

Hey There,
I found this glittered wall hanging very cheaply at a dollar discount store. Although it was pretty, I knew I could improve it by adding some Dew Drops. As Dew Drops are transparent, they look even more amazing placed over a glittered surface.  The hardest part is knowing when to stop adding more Dew Drops!  The step by step directions can be found HERE.

CAS Tree Card - Quick Idea

This is the perfect card to make ahead of time and keep in your stash of cards. By leaving space along the lower edge, you can add the appropriate sentiment as required.  When you need a last minute card, you can simply convert it to a "Thank You" card, "Get Well Soon" card, or "Happy Birthday" card.  I find this design to be especially useful as a "With Sympathy" card. Check it out HERE on the Blank Page Muse Blog.
