My project for today is:

I made this fun sign for a friend.  I saw a similar sign on Pinterest and decided to make one too!
I used fonts on my computer and designed this on my Silhouette Cameo.  I cut it out in black vinyl and put it on my board (that I painted white). 
I painted over the vinyl in red acrylic paint. 
When the paint was dry, I peeled the vinyl off.  I also used a white eraser to rub off any leftover sticky residue.  It helps to use removable vinyl!!
I sanded the sign a bit then spray sealed it.

My project for today is:
I made a burlap banner.
I purchased these laminated burlap sheets at Wal-Mart.  I traced banner flags on the sheets and cut them out by hand.
I cut out some vinyl stencils to fit my banners.  I make 3 at a time, two large banners and one small banner.  I use acrylic paint and pounce it on with a dry brush.  Once the paint is dry, I peel the stencil off.

I use my Crop- A-Dile to punch the holes and string the banner flags with twine.
I use vintage photo ink to ink the banner flags to age them a bit.

The banner looks great on a fireplace, door or wall.

Here is a noel banner I made the same way.  I used the lower case letters, smaller flags and black paint.

My project for today is:
I made a glass ornament with Tanner's photo on the back and his handwriting on the front.
I traced the flat ornament on the picture of Tanner and cut it out.  I punched the hole to match the hole in the ornament.  I used Beacon Fast Finish Decoupage adhesive to adhere the photo to the back of the glass. 
Once it dried, I trimmed around the edges as needed.

Tanner is learning cursive in school FINALLY!  He has been begging me since kindergarten to learn cursive.  He started writing his name in cursive on his papers, so I took a picture of his handwriting and traced it with my cameo software.

I used the offset feature to thicken up the letters a bit and cut them out with white vinyl. 
I used clear contact paper to transfer "Tanner" to the front of the ornament. 
Tanner was amazed when he saw this!! 
Every year I make a few ornaments that are special - a vacation memento or something significant that happened.  This is my favorite one so far for 2014!!
