Hi Fresh Poppy Design fans! 

We are SO excited to be guest blogging with Heather and Megan today!  Our first blog swap...yippee! 

Our names are Kelli & Kristi, we are twin sisters livin in the Valley of the Sun {AZ!} who LoVe to create! 

We have a DIY blog, Lolly Jane boutique, named after Kel's nickname growing up {Kris couldn't pronounce Kelli so called her Lolly.. Jane is also Kel's middle name}.  We show off a variety of crafts weekly and today we're going to show you how to make art from a plain ol' canvas.

After seeing this cutie~pie idea at my sis in law's house,

I realized I had a blank canvas & a random wooden "S" sitting in my Goodwill pile. {Use your coupon at Michaels, Joanns, HobbyLobby for a smokin deal to get a canvas if ya don't have one lyin around.} 

At first I thought I'd alter the sweet dreams idea for my girl's room then thought,

"Hmm..my 7 yr old is grumpy about sharing a room with her 16 month old sister and sister starts with S so let's do a sister canvas!" 

First I painted the canvas pink, my older daughter's fav color.

Then I cut a stencil from my vinyl cutter.

{You could freehand or use Word for yours if you don't have a cutter}

Next I slapped it on the canvas & painted the exposed canvas brown:

Lastly, I filled in the hearts with different shades of green just because.

And now my older kiddo can be reminded how much she'll appreciate her little sis when the gap in their age lessens.  :)

There you have it.  A sample of what we love to do on our blog: share ideas with you! 

{Best part?-cost was FREE since I had everything on hand, love that.}

Hope you had fun with us and a MAJOR thanks to Heather & Megan for letting us steal a day away from their DARLING blog!
