This is one of my favorite bog hops to participate in every year as it motivates me to create for the holidays!!  The sponsors are on Lisa's BLOG - be sure to visit and comment every day and you just might get a prize!!!

My project for today is:

Another one of my flat ornaments.  I made a split A small enough to fit the ornament.  I flipped it so I could put it on the back of the ornament.  I cut it out in red.

I cut out Mike and Lori in green vinyl and put it on the front of the ornament. 

It is so hard to photograph glass so I took a picture close up!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Your next stop is the Amazing ASHLEY!!

Christmas Mini Signs

Today I am featured at my friend Sheila's BLOG.  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!  We had family in town and several wonderful meals!  I am so excited to be at here at Sheila's today with some mini Christmas wood signs I made for a friend of mine.  She needed 16 little signs for her ladies group.

She found these little frames and metal signs at Hobby Lobby.

I got out my Cameo and some vinyl and went to work designing some of her favorite phrases. 

They looked great on the frames and signs!

I cut out these words using fonts on my computer.  I put the vinyl on the back of the glass. 

The stable image came from the Silhouette Store.  I put the stable on the back of the glass, and the words on the front.

I used fonts from my computer for these two signs.

Thanks for having me over today Sheila!!

Mickey Ornament (The Buckle Boutique)

***This was scheduled for  November 10th but blogger did not auto post when I was out of town!

Hello - I am featured today at The Buckle Boutique Blog with a Sparkly Christmas Ornament.  It is that time of year when crafty people start making holiday gift and home decor items!!!  I wanted an ornament to remember our Disney trip this year. 

I cut a Mickey Head out of a Resin Rhinestone Sticker Sheet from The Buckle Boutique.  I used my cricut and the Disney Font cartridge.  I put the sticker sheet face down on my cricut mat.  I tape all around it with clear packing tape just in case my mat is not sticky enough!!

I use the Deep Cut Blade set to 6 and Multi Cut set to 2. I slow down the speed to Medium, but sometimes the Gypsy has a mind of her own concerning the speed!!

Once I had the Mickey head cut, I gently popped it out and set it aside.

Next I opened my Silhouette Studio and used Waltograph font from my computer and curved the words and numbers to fit my ornament shape.

For a tutorial on this, you can go HERE.

Here is the vinyl after I cut it out and weeded it.  I used clear contact paper from the Dollar Tree to transfer the image to my flat round glass ornament.

This photo shows the sparkle of the Resin Rhinestones and the ribbon.

I can't wait to hang this on my Christmas tree!!

What are you creating for the holidays this year?

Fun with Burlap - Home Decor

Hello!!  Today I am excited to be featured at She's A Sassy Lady today.  I am a clearance shopper - how about you?  I found some wood signs on clearance for a dollar each at Hobby Lobby.  I used Goo Gone to remove the decorative paper that was glued on the wood.  I spray painted the wood black and then printed some fun sayings from Silhouette onto laminated canvas sheets.

I found the images on Pinterest and traced them on my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition.  I filled in the words and shapes with black or red and printed them out.

I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink and a sponge triangle. 

I glued tiny rhinestones to the little stars on the burlap. 

These look great in my family room, but will also make great gifts!

Here is a TUTORIAL to print burlap laminated sheets in your printer.

Thanks for having me on your blog today Sheila!!
