Smart and Sassy Keys!



Hi Friends! I hope your having an amazing weekend. I want to share a little project that's quick but cute. I'm always confused by all the different keys I have on my key ring, and of course I could buy one of those colored thing, but that's boring! I saw this on Pinterest, and had to do it. Adding glitter to your keys is a great way to tell the difference between keys, while looking girly and cute. Smart and Sassy!  I love glitter, like who doesn't?!?



Here's what I used;
Glitter Glue ($1.00 at Joanne's Fabric)
Glitter ($1.00 at Joanne's)
Clear nail polish
Your key



Take the glitter glue and outline the top of the key. The more glue you use, the clumpier it will look, so try not to use too much.


This is what it will look with the glitter glue. You could always stop here, but I wanted more glitter!


While the glue is wet, dip it into the glitter. You might have to do the entire top of the key. Make sure to shake off the excess.


Tada! You have a blinged out key. Your going to repeat the same steps for the opposite side. The last add clear nail polish to both sides. This will help keep the glitter in place.


Here's how silver and gold look. I really like the gold key!
::note to self:: Paint my nail tonight, my nails are a hot mess lol

Baby Keepsake Shadow Box

When I first saw this shadow box on Pintrest, I knew I had to make my own. I'm such a hoarder when it comes to sentimental things. Ever since my passed way when I was 10, my family always kept things that had sentimental value. So of course I kept all Baby B's things from the hospital. Using the shadow box, not only lets you display your items, but you can keep them away from dust and dirt. I hope to one day give it to Bobby, but I'm not sure if boys are into that kinda thing. What do you think? Well if he doesn't want it I'll just keep it forever! Here's how I did it.

You'll need everything pictured below.
Next I cut my card board to fit the decorative pieces.

Then I hot glued it together. This helped it pop out and not just lie flat on the paper.

Now your going to glue or pin your keepsakes to the paper. I hot glue mine and that worked fine. If you don't want to ruin your items you can pin them to the paper. I used the shirt and hat they gave us in the hospital, as well as mine and his bracelet's we wore.
You should now arrange the letters, pictures , and decorative items how you'd like. I just placed the letter and picture in the box, and glued the other pieces to the paper.

This is your finished product!




Where I found everything
Shadow Box- Joanne's Fabric 50% off came out to 12.50
Decorative Items (paper, stickers, other) Joanne's Fabric- 40% 5.00
The letter I had but you can find one at any craft store for a couple dollars.

I hope you like it and use your saved baby items to make something pretty. If your new please subscribe, because that would make my day!
