Posterized Plaques

Confession:  I think I have exhausted all of my Mother's Day gift ideas, because this year I had to turn to craft blogs for inspiration.  Good thing I did because I found a gem.  Look at these!!

What did I tell you?  Awesome.  In case you can't tell, they are texturized, but they look like they have been oil painted on there.  I should tell you that they were- make myself look amazing, but I wouldn't be fooling many of you, if any.  No, they are not hand painted.  I will warn you though, they look easier than they are.  These are really touchy and you might have to make half a dozen before figuring it out.  Still, worth it if you ask me.  I think grandma thought so too!  Find out how to do it here.

Pom Pom Dress and Applique Shirt

I couldn't resist!  My baby turned one and she needed something fun to wear for her big day.  I found this skirt tutorial and thirty minutes later- viola!  So. Stinking. Cute.  A scrap piece of material and an old stained shirt made for a nice applique, and as you can see, the two made for a fun birthday ensemble.  I don't have a tutorial for the shirt- just cut the shape you want and zig zag around the edges.  Nothing much to it.  As for the skirt, you can find out how to do it yourself here.
