Alice in Wonderland clock with Graphic 45 Paper

Recently I received this graphic 45 paper that's been discontinued for a while. Luckily, I found some extra pieces on the internet. I've had these project pieces for over 5 years now and they've been sitting in my closet. I thought this paper would make a really great clock.

I use mod podge to seal the paper on the clock. Then I added some embellishments.  Unfortunately the clock pieces broke. So I had to make a trip to the Hobby Lobby to pick up a new part. This is a clock I'll keep for a long time.

Home Decor - Five Years in the Making!

I purchased these letters in a kit about 5 years ago at the Tuesday Morning.  They've been sitting in my closet for about 5 years now.  I finally took some time to embellish them and seal them.  Boy...some times it takes a long time to complete a project!
The paper is from My Minds Eye and I used Vintage photo ink to give it the aged look.
All letters were sealed with Mod Podge. 
Thanks for stopping by!

Mac book pro sticker made with Silhouette Cameo - Crafty Gals Challenge

This month, the gals in the Crafty Gals blog group are showing some love to me.  Can you believe it - how neat is that?   The gals know I love using die cuts and my Cricut and Cameo so I decided to show you what I made with my Cameo this month.

I know you probably have guessed by now, that  Alice in Wonderland is my favorite character. I think I can recite both versions of Alice and Wonderland. The cartoon and the remake with Jonny Depp.

Recently I saw a Snow White sticker on someone's Mac so I decided to create one myself with my Silhouette Cameo. I downloaded a coloring page file to my design studio. Then I made a few edits and cut out the vinyl. I love how it turned out and how she's holding the apple in her arms.  The apple was Dina, but I edited the cat out.  Don't hate me - I know cats are popular on the internet!

 One of the things I love most about my Silhouette Cameo is that I can customize pretty much anything. It takes a little bit of time and practice but in the end its all worth it and it saves me  money.

You Are Braver Than You Think Lettering Delights Card

Lettering Delights has a great set of Disney graphics and SVG cuts.  When I saw this cut, I immediately purchased and downloaded the set.  Merida is adorable with her beautiful orange hair.  I used Peachy Keen stamps to create her cute face.  I printed out the saying using Microsoft word and added some black washi tape.

Silhouette Cameo Watering Can

This cut that I found  online at the silhouette america store was absolutely adorable. I just had to have it. So I cut it out exactly as it was measured when it landed on the virtual mat and put it together with my son. We had so much fun. I think it would make a great pen holder or paper flower holder.
