WOW!

I am so excited and honored to have been chosen as a highlight in the Cricut Chirp! newsletter.  They featured the nursery nightlight that's pictured below.  Welcome to all the newbies to my blog because of that post!

Gift for hubby

I made this for my sweetie for Valentines.  He gave me tickets to Fiddler on the Roof at Bass Hall!  This was super simple to make.  I started with a purchased canvas and photos of our handsome boys. I cut the letters from vinyl with the "Winter Woodlands" cart from Cricut.  I tore the photos and then used "grey wool" ink pad from CTMH to add color to the torn edges.  I also used grey wool and black ink pads to add some "distressing" to the sides of the canvas. I added some vintage looking brads and charms that were in my stash.  I just used the Xyron to adhere the photos,.  Since this is my first canvas, I am anxious to see if it will hold up or if I need to use mod podge from now on.

nursery nightlight

This was special ordered by my DIL to give as a gift for a new baby.  I think it's the most color I've used on a glass block light but it matches the layette in the nursery.  The background is vellum and for the name, I used the font from "Winter Woodlands"-LOVE this cart from Cricut.  The ladybug is from Walk in My Garden and the whale and octopus were cut from Life is a Beach.  For the polka dots on the letters, I just used my Copic markers.  I have been buying all my vinyl from www.expressionsvinyl.com.  FANTASTIC prices, huge color choices, and fast shipping.
