*~~ Notes Gift ~~*

Hello!!  I made this notes plate as a door prize at our Cupcake crop a few weeks back (still waiting on cupcake pictures, I'm sorry for the posting delay!)  This is my NEW FAVORITE gift.. well one of them.  I bought a trendy square dinner plate from a local store, added a little vinyl and attached a dry erase marker= done project!  It would also be a great idea to use for "Menu" or "Chore List" or "To-Do" lists....  or as I call them... "Things Accomplished".  Again, so so sorry for the terrible quality of the picture.  Poorly lit room + not so great camera... but hopefully one day that will change!

~* Presents for the Pilot*~

I am so excited to post these photos- My brother is a pilot, and needed decoration for his home.  So... you guessed it- his Christmas presents were all about decoration!  While working on this, I discovered how much I LOVE doing wood projects!  Its so relaxing to paint the backgrounds, then let the silhouette do the detailed stuff.

Ok- so here it is:  His big picture is a 2 foot X 2 foot piece on birch wood.  The second part is a tile- and I can honestly say these two projects are tied for my favorite projects EVER.

Hope you enjoy!

Yeah! The finished product!!

I started out by painting the background and letting it dry approximately 2 hours

I then placed the shadow layer of vinyl down first, followed by the dark brown accent piece.  I started from the bottom so I would make sure and have plenty of room for both the airplane and the text.

I just LOVE THIS TILE!

This aviator is ready to hit the skies!


Well, hope you've enjoyed these pictures!  I will be posting more Christmas craft and gift photos over the next week.

Happy New Year!

Stop Diabetes Door Prize

Hello!!  Tomorrow I am speaking at a Choose To Live program for the American Diabetes Association in Baton Rouge.  I wanted to make it a little more "fun" and add a few door prizes.  You know I just HAD to make one of the door prizes myself. :)  I used the official "Stop Diabetes" logo to make a vinyl stencil to etch my project.  Here's how it turned out:   Hope you enjoy!  If you are in Baton Rouge and would like to participate in the Step Out: Fighting Diabetes Walk just visit our website: Team Rx Step Out Link to donate or join our team!!

A Few of My Favorite Things

Since this is my first official blog day, I have a lot of pictures to upload at once... so here goes:

I absolutely LOVE my silhouette!  I use it to do a GOOD bit of crafting. I used it to create the following items:

This is actually my friend Cheryl's kitchen.  Isn't her husband's original artwork beautiful?  We used her silhouette and vinyl to create this customized kitchen decor.... hanging it was a chore :)

I made this frame using vinyl and some sassy scrapbook paper.  I love love love it!! 

So sorry about the sideways.... I made this sign as a gift for a friend.  Very quick and easy with my trusty silhouette.

Well, that's all for day one!!
