(Catch up on the first photographic craft night here) I was loving a lot of the map pieces that were being pinned on pinterest, but one in particular caught my eye. Source I loved the idea and we decided to do a map project for craft night. I headed to AAA to grab some maps…As a side note, I have been a AAA member since I was 1 year old. My great grandma never wanted me to get stranded and since AAA covers whatever vehicle the card member might be in, it traveled in my diaper bag with me.
Upon arriving at Melissa’s, I still wasn’t sure what I was going to do for sure so we decided to improvise. First up was “we met”. Yep, you’ll notice the center of that heart is the Ameristar Casino. 13 Things to Make with Book Pages {crafting. Book pages are such a fun crafting material that are cheap and easy to use!

As you may know I love to celebrate the seasons with a unique hand crafted wreath and for spring I decided to create a fresh, all white wreath made completely from butcher paper.
I always keep rolls of butcher paper on hand- it is one of the cheapest and most versatile supplies! I started by cutting large strips of butcher paper and scrunched it up. I then wrapped and glued it around a styrofoam wreath form. Next, I created paper flowers by cutting out circles Using hot glue (this makes it quick and easy) I layered the different circles on top of each other. I created the center detail of the flowers by crumbling up tiny pieces of paper. I glued the crumbled piece to the center of the flowers. I created all sorts of flowers in different sizes- enough to fill the wreath. I decided to create some little leaves for the wreath. Last, I glued all of the flowers and leaves to the surface of the wreath. And there you have it- a simple, cheap and pretty wreath perfect for spring!
