<br />
We have been feeling the stains of a "too small" house for awhile now. So about a month ago I decided that I would make a call to our mortgage broker and see what we would qualify for and if I could even find a house in that range that was worth considering. You know it it goes... "just to see." Within 2 weeks we were under contract on a new house and then under contract on our house right after! It was insane. We still have to get through inspections and appraisal, but it looks like we're moving!<br />
<br />
But since I never really blogged the renovation of our house like I wanted to, I thought it would be fun to compare the before pics with the pics from our MLS listing.<br />
<br />
So here goes.<br />

<br />
Well, life is just full surprises. Turns out having 3 kids makes blogging and crafting a lot more difficult. And blogging and crafting is even more difficult when you have some birth-control failure and find out your expecting baby #4 (even though baby #3 is only 9 months old) and are pretty dang sick to boot. Yup! You read that right. I'm expecting again and will have babies 16 month apart. Now that the shock of it all has worn off we are pretty excited about it. And its pretty funny. Surprise baby is due on April fools day. Love it!<br />
<br />
What does that mean for this blog? Well, not much. Just know that I'll post any great ideas or new creations I have, but they'll probably be far and few between. But since that's what has been going on here anyway, not much will change. :)<br />
<br />
But amongst all the chaos that is my life right now, <i><b>its <a href="http://woodyouliketocraft.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">WYLTC</a> time again</b><b>!</b></i> Yay! I love it!! It was my turn to pick our theme so we will be doing "kitchen" crafts and I'm kicking it off with my brilliant (if I do say so myself) meal planning system that I have in the works. So go <a href="http://woodyouliketocraft.blogspot.com/2013/09/menu-planning-sassy-sanctuary.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> and check it out!<br />

<br />
And <a href="http://woodyouliketocraft.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">then go back</a> everyday for the rest of the week to see what all the other WYLTC ladies came up with. It always is fantastic!<br />

<br />
It's June and that means it time for another<a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/" target="_blank"> Design House Digital</a> house party and blog hop! This month the theme is "whimsy" and you'll find that this collection is super cute, super bright, and perfect for summer!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ShjblG4wJag/UalYDx0UfmI/AAAAAAAAJi0/6JyNqnd2G1M/s1600/Whimsy-Ad-Top.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="120" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ShjblG4wJag/UalYDx0UfmI/AAAAAAAAJi0/6JyNqnd2G1M/s640/Whimsy-Ad-Top.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You can check out and download the kits <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/house-party-collaborations" target="_blank">HERE</a><br />
The house party kits will be on sale, 30% off, through June 5th.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of the layouts I created using the house party kits.<br />
<br />
In this first one I used a couple pictures of my kiddos from last summer enjoying some snow-cones. We actually avoid food coloring around here so snow-cones are a rare treat for my kids, but they LOVE them! I think the happy kit colors compliment my happy kids really well!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ulHPIztmCGI/UalZnzrmTrI/AAAAAAAAJjM/OFyxC0ZTjZM/s1600/june-house-party-003-snowcones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ulHPIztmCGI/UalZnzrmTrI/AAAAAAAAJjM/OFyxC0ZTjZM/s640/june-house-party-003-snowcones.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
We recently celebrated the first birthday of my cute little niece Kendal, so I had to make a page for her with these kits too! The fun colors worked really well with her birthday celebration pictures! And I love how this layout turned out!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3blDCCgjldY/UalZkW4qoqI/AAAAAAAAJjE/IvYxl1hJDMw/s1600/june-house-party-002-kendal%2527s-1st.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3blDCCgjldY/UalZkW4qoqI/AAAAAAAAJjE/IvYxl1hJDMw/s640/june-house-party-002-kendal%2527s-1st.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
But you know me! I just LOVE printables and hybrid projects so I had to make a printable too!<br />
<br />
The<a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/house-party-collaborations" target="_blank"> whimsy kits</a> really had me thinking about summer and with school just getting out it was the perfect time to create our Summer Bucket List! If you are anything like me, you always have a ton of things you want to do while the kids are home, but half of them never get done because you just don't think about it. This way when the kids say "I'm bored!" you can consult the list and find something to do!<br />
<br />
So I made my print, put it in a cheap $5 frame from Micheal's, hot glued magnets to the back, and stuck it to the fridge. By putting it in a frame I have an instant dry erase board. Then we brainstormed as a family what we wanted to do this summer and wrote out our list on the glass with a dry erase marker. We can cross them off as we get them done, and if we finish our list we can erase it and make a new one!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fMbbGLsQdik/UalebG4mlPI/AAAAAAAAJjc/xC22ezB-r2I/s1600/DSC_0149.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fMbbGLsQdik/UalebG4mlPI/AAAAAAAAJjc/xC22ezB-r2I/s640/DSC_0149.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
And the best part is that my kids are SO excited about it! They keep asking me when we are going to go do all these fun things. So cute!<br />
<br />
So if you'd like to make a summer bucket list of your own, here is the print!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--SHfCPB3IW0/UalewIYhhvI/AAAAAAAAJjk/aZBRi111um8/s1600/june-house-party-001-8x10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--SHfCPB3IW0/UalewIYhhvI/AAAAAAAAJjk/aZBRi111um8/s640/june-house-party-001-8x10.jpg" width="512" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PERSONAL USE ONLY</div>
<br />
<br />
Just save the image (click to get the full image and not the thumbnail, right click, and then hit "save")
and print it as an 8x10. You can add it to a frame to make it dry erase like I did, or you can just write on it and call it good. Either way, you're sure to have a super fun summer if you take the time to make a game plan!<br />
<br />
I hope you'll enjoy this month's house party kits and create some fun
scrapbook layouts and enjoy your summer bucket list. Once again, <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/house-party-collaborations" target="_blank">HERE</a> is where you can find the kits to play along with us!<br />

<br />
Welcome to Sassy Sanctuary! I'm super excited to be a part of today's blog/facebook hop and to share a little scrap-booking inspiration using this months <i>oh so cute</i> house party kits!<br />
<br />
This months color scheme is titled "romantic" and it is a beautiful,
soft pallet perfect for your little girls or lovey dovey photos of you
and your loved ones!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rl5h0bY3MEk/UX9XbNCbPMI/AAAAAAAAJVc/62-rIBz9Ldk/s1600/inspiration_hop_header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rl5h0bY3MEk/UX9XbNCbPMI/AAAAAAAAJVc/62-rIBz9Ldk/s1600/inspiration_hop_header.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
You can check out and download the kits<a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/house-party-collaborations" target="_blank"> HERE.</a><br />
The house party kits will be on sale, 30% off, through May 5th.<br />
<br />
So... what do you do with these lovely kits? Well... make beautiful scrapbook layouts of course!<br />
<br />
This first layout is of my sweet little Ava. These are the pictures from her Easter photo shoot. I just love these pictures and love how the kits colors really complement them and leave a very pretty, soft overall feel. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E4MLG1Z5XHA/UX7NgmV0cxI/AAAAAAAAJUc/nPlMyLqeqD8/s1600/DHD2-009-Ava.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E4MLG1Z5XHA/UX7NgmV0cxI/AAAAAAAAJUc/nPlMyLqeqD8/s640/DHD2-009-Ava.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And with the romantic theme in mind I went and found a few photos of me and my honey. These are pictures of us at our wedding, one from a few years ago, and one from sometime in between. Its fun to see how we have grown and aged together. The romantic kits have everything you need to tell your own love story. Aww!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BoNJJBKqYdc/UX7OEcsgPoI/AAAAAAAAJUk/Ycvwq5XWDWs/s1600/DHD2-010-mr-and-mrs-winn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BoNJJBKqYdc/UX7OEcsgPoI/AAAAAAAAJUk/Ycvwq5XWDWs/s640/DHD2-010-mr-and-mrs-winn.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Come visit my <a href="http://www.designhousedigital.com/gallery/u10471-krystal-winn.html" target="_blank">DHD gallery</a> to see exactly which kits I used for these layouts.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
BUT, I've said it before, as much as I love digital scrapping, my <i>true love</i> is digital printables! So with Mother's Day just around the corner (at least in the US) I thought I'd use the house party kits to make you guys a free printable. Mothers Day Cupcake Toppers!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pM7nC-LAQd0/UX7JxR09UNI/AAAAAAAAJS4/kBMd8KZUXco/s1600/DSC_0015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pM7nC-LAQd0/UX7JxR09UNI/AAAAAAAAJS4/kBMd8KZUXco/s640/DSC_0015.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Aren't they sweet! What a perfect addition to any Mother's Day Celebration! (And what Momma doesn't like cupcakes?!? I know this one does!!)<br />
<br />
Here is your printable. Just save the image (click to get the full image and not the thumbnail) and print it as a "full page." I like to use card-stock to give them some weight.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bZupRfDf5QU/UX7Qxer14aI/AAAAAAAAJU0/JXQ-_ArgnEs/s1600/DHD2-015-full-sheet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bZupRfDf5QU/UX7Qxer14aI/AAAAAAAAJU0/JXQ-_ArgnEs/s640/DHD2-015-full-sheet.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)</div>
<br />
They are created to be used with a 2" punch. I have both a circle and a flower punch and love them for cupcake toppers. The punches I use are <a href="http://www.amazon.com/EK-Tools-Circle-Punch-2-Inch/dp/B0090JVF1A/ref=sr_1_16?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1367265770&sr=1-16&keywords=EK+2%22+punch" target="_blank">EK punches</a>. You can get them at Joann's (be sure to print a 40% off coupon!) and they are great because they have a deep reach and you can see what you are punching!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3xHJf2WdWEA/UX7J3VEquWI/AAAAAAAAJUA/jtYmf0IwNf8/s1600/DSC_0034.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3xHJf2WdWEA/UX7J3VEquWI/AAAAAAAAJUA/jtYmf0IwNf8/s640/DSC_0034.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
Then all you have to do is tape a tooth pick to the back and stick them in your cupcakes!<br />

And if you REALLY want to wow your mom, you can make matching wrappers too! All you do is pick out some matching papers from the kits and print them. Then print the template and cut out the shapes. The template is going to make them a little on the big side, so if you have smaller cupcakes (like I did) you may have to trim them down a bit. I ended up taking about 1/4" from all sides to get mine to fit right. Just take a little off at a time until you get them to fit your particular cupcake. <br />

I'm so excited to be guest posting for <a href="http://thewoodco.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><i>The Wood Connection</i></a> again today. They have the cutest stuff!!!<br />
<br />
Now, I have been dying to get my hands on dry erase paint. Have you heard of the stuff? Well a trip to the <i>Wood Connection</i> was the perfect excuses to try it out on something. It looks like this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XKHUmBcsVCQ/UVHv9uC02UI/AAAAAAAAJME/SxAnUNZXHoU/s1600/dry+erase.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XKHUmBcsVCQ/UVHv9uC02UI/AAAAAAAAJME/SxAnUNZXHoU/s1600/dry+erase.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You can get it at Home Depot or Walmart, for about $20. Then take a trip to <i>the Wood Connection </i>and get all the rest of your supplies and you'll end up with something like this....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
How fun is that?! My 4 year old daughter about went nuts when she saw it. In hind sight I should have made it to match her room, but I didn't so it lives in my hallway. Its the perfect place to write notes to your family...<br />
<br />

<br />
So now for the fun part. What can you do with the faboulous kit? Well... you are sure to create may beautiful layouts like this...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But one of my favorite things to do with digital kits is make banners and other "printables". I've made banners for baby showers and other parties before, but this time I created a "spring" banner for my mantle. Want to see?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I just love it! It is such a cute addtion to my spring display.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If you want to make a banner of your own, they are super easy to do. I just make individual images for each pennant of the banner. Usually at 4x6, since that is a standard photo size. Then print them on card-stock, cut them out, punch a couple holes, and string them together using ribbon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--zk7mq148CY/UUelHnlNyyI/AAAAAAAAJJw/Rvf31IFRcSQ/s1600/DSC_0067.NEF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="512" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--zk7mq148CY/UUelHnlNyyI/AAAAAAAAJJw/Rvf31IFRcSQ/s640/DSC_0067.NEF.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
But it gets even easier. If you want to make MY spring banner, I'm including all the images as a free printable! Just click on each image to view it full size, save each image to your computer, print and assemble! </div>

<br />
Well... I've teased long enough. I'm ready to show you guys Jonah's nursery. There is still one more thing I plan to do in there, but who knows when I'll actually get around to it. So without farther ado, here is the <i>almost </i>done nursury.<br />
<br />

This is the view right as you walk into the room. His walls are a "greyish green." I painted the trees with some good old frog tape and some white paint. <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12633579"> The rocker</a> is from Babies R Us and is super comfortable. I spend a lot of time in that chair!<br />

<br />
As you rotate around you can see <a href="http://www.sassysanctuary.com/2012/09/woodland-baby-mobile.html">the cute mobile</a> I made and the <a href="http://www.sassysanctuary.com/2012/08/picture-frame-growth-chart.html">picture frame growth chart</a>. It looks so much cuter with all those sweet baby pictures in it!<br />

<br />
The beautiful crib is the Ashby Crib from <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/ashby-crib/">Pottery Barn.</a> It's a discontinued crib that I got from Downeast Home and paid a fraction of the PB price! I LOVE Downeast Home!<br />
<br />
And the bedding... I made it myself!!! I'm not much of a seamstress and this is by far my biggest sewing project to date. While time consuming, it was actually pretty easy. (Although I pretty much just winged it the whole time so I cant really give you a tutorial. sorry!) The whole room is based off this adorable print, <a href="http://www.monaluna.com/item.php?item_id=40&category_id=20">Wonderland in Blue by Monaluna.</a><br />

<br />
I paired it with a bright blue minky, a tone on tone chevron, and red trim. Its so bright and happy and I just LOVE it! (The little owl throw blanket I found at TJ Maxx.)<br />
<br />
As you continue around the room this is the view from behind the door. I have my <a href="http://www.sassysanctuary.com/2013/01/nursery-decor-sneak-peek.html">Baby Stats frame</a> and a little coat hook. (Hello kitty!)<br />
