organize me: Flashcard Decor Display Ideas

Flashcard Decor Display Ideas https://www.mamamiss.com ©2013

 

Last month when I created the free printable alphabet cards, a couple of readers asked about ways for displaying them.

I have since then, added this picture below in my original post, of V’s old nursery (please excuse my less than stellar photog skills – this was the clearest pic I could uncover :)

I wanted to display the Alphabet Cards without the tackiness of a tack (pun intended!) and I wasn’t about to buy 26 frames!!!

So, enter this idea into the ol’ noggin.

How we made it:  We used 2 strips of chair molding and attached them to the wall horizontally.  The width between the strips matched the exact height of the cards.  They didn’t wrap around the room entirely, I was able to have two displays on the two facing walls, by splitting the alphabet in half.  The cards were attached with damage-free adhesive strips.  I completed the look by adding little bows randomly, to make it a little more girly in a very neutral nursery :)

I also came across this today, as another alternative for your flashcard display from Young House Love.

It’s a beautiful wall shelf they built.  They originally used it to display postcards, and use it currently to display their daughter’s flashcards!

And, then (remember my ever-churning-mind?), well it made me think of these shelves I have in my garage already from Ikea (of course I have them in my garage – I’m a DIY hoarder – HA!)

Similar idea, huh?  See, although I’m crafty, I don’t really touch the building & wooden construction stuff – I leave that for the hubs.

So, this is a PERFECT alternative for a ready-made solution – no cutting wood required (well, unless you want too?!) – YAY!

I’ll leave you with this final inspiration from kreyv.

She made this flashcard art display with a frame, twine, & some clothespins for her daughter’s room.

It is soooo beautiful!

And, of course, this has my mind churning some more!

You could even make it more easy, by simply using baker’s twine or jute twine with mini clothespins and attaching it to your wall, just like that!

Well, I hope that gets your ideas churning ;)

Good luck & bring on the creative!

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩
📌 “We spend January 1st walking through our l 📌 “We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
