A few projects to share



First, todays scrap page.  I bought the boys a new cart last week at Micheals (stand and solute on clearance for $10).  They had lots of fun making new name signs for their room.  Unfortunately, that was the only cart our Micheals had on the clearance.  I was really hoping they were going to have a Gypsy or at least a couple of other carts on the sale, but probably for the best that they didn't as I have no self control when it comes to these things.  Base paper is from the doodle stack (DCWV) brackets are from Plantin schoolbook, definition stamp is Stampin up.




Next is just a couple cards, same layout for both,  the border on the friend card is from Paper Lace cut at 1.5 inch.










For the non-cricut:  I made new cushions for my 100 year old chair, it went from dark and stuffy to bright and cheery!




Finally, I found some of these twig balls on clearance but I wanted something else in the bowl so I dug some Styrofoam balls out of the closet.  I wrapped one with green yarn to match the table and covered the other two with flowers.  I just love how the flowery ones came out.  To make them I bough some stems at  Micheals (on sale for $1) and cut off the flowers so that they only had about a half inch stem, then stuffed the stems right into the Styrofoam.  A bit time consuming, but worth it.  It took 3 stems per ball to make it really dense.   Thanks for looking!

Valentines Cookie svg freebie


Today I made some "cookies" to hang on my wall.  I inked the edges of the cookie base to brown them, and some white puffy paint on top of the writing to make it more like frosting.  I think I'll cut some more this weekend and let the kids write on them :)  The free svg is down below for the week.  Thanks for looking!

A couple of quick vinyl projects today

I have been wanting to make a chalkboard plate for ages but had a hard time finding just the right plate.  I found this one at Fred Meyers, then cut out some chalkboard vinyl ( you can buy that atOh My Crafts ), and some olive green vinyl for the edges (from Paper Lace).

My  second project is just funny, we are having an open house so we made this for the door.  I'm not sure if it will stay, but it will make me laugh for a few days.  I've been asked before if the vinyl I use on my door can be reused - the answer is "no" but I buy vinyl on sale and only use about a 6 x 12 piece, so that is only about $1 worth.

Thanks for looking, today is the last day to sign up for the punch giveaway!
