BABY Blocks

I found these BABY stickers in a $1 bin at Michaels a few months back and had to have them. At first I was going to individually frame them in these adorable little white square frames that I saw at the Dollar Tree but I resisted spending more $ on the project. Finally I realized that they fit perfectly on the little white blocks I already had. I was going to sand the edges and seal the blocks first but due to time constraints I just attached the stickers directly onto the painted blocks. They are the perfect stickers - layered, glittered and have foam stickers on the back for added dimension. Of course I had to tie the whole thing up in a leftover pink ribbon from my wedding and voila! In just a couple of minutes I had a very cute baby shower decoration to display on my end table and since I've hosted 3 baby girl showers in the last year I'll pack these up with the rest of my baby decorations for the next baby shower I host.

CTR blocks for Activity Days

We made these blocks last week for Activity Days. The girls really enjoyed the project and did a great job. They all chose different colors to personalize their blocks so they all turned out different. I'm so lucky to be able to work with such a great group of girls.
If you missed my earlier post when I made a sample they are super easy to make. The blocks were pre-painted white since I didn't think we'd have time to let them dry since we only have an hour. The background paper is precut circles and squares and the letters are paper too. We used mod podge to attach them. So fun!

Young Women Value Blocks

I'd been wanting to do some sort of decoupage project on wood blocks for some time now and the other day I thought of this. They were super easy. The only thing I had to buy is the blocks because I already had everything else. I printed "Young Women Values" and each of the values in different fonts to give it a little variety. I used scrapbook paper that I had on hand along with punches and borders. The little flowers you see are cut from a "page a day" Mary Engelbreit calendar from several years ago. I hadn't used Mod Podge in many years. Just applied it with a foam brush to each layer as I went. I wanted to practice and show the other YW leaders. We'll be doing this project for mutual soon.
