4th of July Gift Bag

One of my BFF's has an awesome 4th of July party each year! I love to bring my hostess with the mostest a little gift of wine. This year I decided to make a gift bag instead of buying one. This project didn't really turn out the way I saw it in my head but o'well, its another thing to cross off my 10 in 10 list!
Started with one large blue bag and one large white bag. I ripped the blue bag in half:

My orginal idea was just punch stars in the blue bag, glue red paper behind where I punched, and glue the bags together. But it was WAY too plain!

So I found these super cute printable on Living Locurto's blog and added some stickles!

Then I added some firework stickles on the bottom :)

Happy Father's Day

My husband likes a good beer, so I went to a really cool beer store and had the beer connoisseur put together a six pack of beers that I thought my husband would enjoy:

Then I asked my son (age 4) what he loves about Daddy. I made little notes using what he said and mod podged them onto the back of the bottles:

Mod podged these letters to the top:

I used my sons hand print, stickers, and scrap paper to decorate the box:

He loves it!

Easy "Cars" Wall Decor

I wanted to use these paint can lids (leftovers from http://inspiredcrafter.blogspot.com/2010/05/paint-can-action-figure-organization.html):

I used two coats of black paint that I had laying around from a trim project (that I never finished lol). In hindsight, I should have used primer too but o'well:

Then I modge podged these foam "Cars" wall decor stickers (that I used to decorate my son's "Cars" themed room but he had picked them all off)...Anyhow I had them laying around and thought this would be an easy decoration I could use on his wall. It turned out pretty cute...plus its high enough on the wall that he CAN'T pick them off :)
