Cabin Gifts

Some of you may have seen the canvases I painted last month, they were ordered as gifts for Shawnee War Canoe at Heart o the Hills Camp for Girls, the camp I have spent 10 summers of my life attending. I have posted about it a few times and cannot say enough good things! For Second Term, I had an order of cabin gifts come in from the cutest mom ever, and here they are:

A closer look at the details:

This little Minnie Mouse is one of the campers who is received a canvas from Bkrafty as a cabin gift! So cute!


The reason the colors on the canvas are green blue and red is because Heart o the Hills has two tribes, the Pawnees and the Shawnees. The Pawnees are blue, and the Shawnees are green! After you're a camper, you belong to the "Heart Tribe" and which is red. Here's an old picture from my last year at camp, it shows all the colors together in the chieftain outfits. This picture was actually some of my inspiration for the canvases:

Here are some of my favorite pictures from camp this summer! I could post more, but then I'd put all 300 photos in one post.

This one is with the Pawnee Chieftain from last summer, Sherilyn! One of my best best friends in the world, Christina, and I were here tribe sponsors last summer. She is awesome, and I love her tons! Also, how could I not post this? The photobombing is just too good.

The old chieftains always take a photo with the newest chieftain, so we had a ton of fun with that! Everybody wears a piece of the chieftain outfit, which is one of the coolest things. I love that tradition!

And there we have it!

Friendship

turquoise and glitter chevron

Here are some canvases I did for my friend Hannah! She wanted to get matching canvases for her and one of her best friends with this quote. I thought the quote was so pretty that the design needed to be simple, so I painted the background turquoise and did a chevron design with clear glitter.  The glitter chevron was one of my favorite parts! It didn't take away from the quote, so I was really happy with the way it turned out.

love the way to glitter looks in the light!

Proverbs 4:23

Hi out there to all of my readers! It's almost 7 am here, but no sunrise, yet! I guess it's safe to say that school has officially started. Though it seems like no one is really ready for it, it's here! I was asked to make this canvas for someone from Houston, and I absolutely love the verse she picked out. I know I pretty much love everything people ask me to do, but I love this one times three! I'll let you take a look at my canvas interpretation of the Bible verse Proverbs 4:23!

Though I had heard this verse many times before, I had never really gone in depth about it. I don't think I every really studied it, neither with a group nor on my own time. Because I liked it so much, I wanted to look up a few things about it. I found an article that says the "3 Reasons Why You Should Guard Your Heart" by Michael Hyatt. It was really good! If you want to take a look at it, here is the link:

It's a good read! Anyway- I seriously do LOVE this canvas, too. I told Nia that I want to keep both of the ones I made her! Can't wait for her to get them!

Ps. Thank you so much to everyone for the sweet emails! It is SO nice to hear from you all! I cannot stress enough how much it means to me! Y'all are great! xoxo

Best of friends

My best friend plays softball for Oklahoma State, so I almost never get to see her during the school year. They travel ALL the time, and this weekend she is finally in AUSTIN! They play UT this weekend, so I get to go embarrass her in the stands. As her best friend, it's my job. One of my favorite campers from Heart o' the Hills (my summer camp where I am also a counselor) saw some of my stuff on Instagram! Her name is Sam, and she asked me to make some canvases for her with the sweetest canvases about friendship!! It made me SO excited for this summer when I get to work there!

3000!!

Oh my word....within a month b.krafty has gotten 1000 views (it's over 3000 now!!!)! That's incredible. I can't believe it. Thank you everyone for encouraging me to start this and to make it what is has turned in to! Today my parents came up to visit me, and they took some of the canvases I made back home so they could be delivered! I had so many in my dorm it was AWESOME. In fact, I think I had some that I hadn't even posted on here, yet.

I thought this picture was perfect for the occasion! I made it for my dorm room. It's one of my favorite quotes!

Love, Bethany

New look, new pages, new ideas!

Happy Sunday, everybody! So I was thinking this morning when I woke up that I should start making more paintings with quotes that I like and show y'all by posting them on here and even make a page for all the ones I make that don't have a home..haha. My roomie Morgan and I are going to the craft store tonight, so be on the lookout for some really cute things coming soon! We have some crayon art, ADPi sorority decor, and some fancy initials! It's going to be chaos when we walk into that place!

Also, I just added the comment box on the left side of the page. That way you can message me directly off of my blog! Don't be shy, I love getting emails and comments!

Ps. Check out the new "College" and "Quotes" pages at the top of the screen. I put up a few ideas for University of Texas on the college page, but if you want your school on there, let me know. Hook 'em!

2500!!

WOW! I am speechless. We already reached 2500 views! Seriously guys, when I first started posting I never thought anyone outside my immediate family would want to look at my blog, but this is unreal! Thank you SO much for giving me motivation to keep going with the thing that makes me feel the most connected to the Lord and what makes my heart sing. This weekend is going to  be filled with fun designs: zebra print, crayon art, and some more sorority canvases! I can hardly wait. I thought this canvas is perfect for the occasion:

Love y'all!

All things TEXAS

I guess it's official..I'm obsessed with TEXAS! I've only been at UT for about 3 months, and I already bleed orange. Everywhere I go there are accents of burnt orange, so for this post I wanted to do a Texas theme! Mixed in below are some of my creations and some of the things that inspire me. I also wanted to throw in some Theta stuff, too.

Thanks y'all! -Bethany
