Our scrap-rooms are overflowing. Our albums are filled to the brim. And our shopping carts are full of more supplies. We love looking at our creations. We love making stuff. We love our homes. What's the best solution? Fill our homes with the creations we love making and looking at!! 

We have a new article series starting this month, Home Decor. This first month we decided to narrow it down to 'Things to Hang' so that we could focus our attention in one area. And still leave ourselves lots of room to grow in the coming months. These ideas are meant to give you that jump-start you needed to get to decorating! You can take these ideas and lift them exactly, or just to get your own creative ideas going. 

Things to Hang....Canvases
I don't know about you but I always seem to have an empty wall in my home that needs filled. Instead of spending too much money on something that is 'almost' perfect, spend a little time and make yourself something to fill that hole. Look what we made!

We had a couple blank walls in our bedroom. I haven't seen anything I wanted to buy (that was affordable as well:)) so I finally decided to just make a couple things to fill the spot. Yes, they are kinda pink and girly. Luckily my husband is okay with that.:) We have lots of black in there to balance it out I guess.

To make this canvas I first covered it in one color of pink. Then I went back and added a few swishes of color with a darker pink. I sketched where I wanted the heart to be and painted it as well. Then, I sat on the floor with as many black and white papers I could find and my trusty circle punch. I felt very Kelli Crowe-ish.:) Although I wasn't in my prom dress.:)

Once I had enough circles I glued them on used Mod Podge. I just kept layering them on. To make the border I cut pieces of a ribbon and adhered them around the edge. Then I covered the whole think in a clear glossy acrylic.

It looks pretty good in our bedroom!:)
