Hi all, hope your week is going well. I told you I would be back with some more Valentine's Day decor goodies. So today I have a super simple decor piece if you have a Silhouette. This would be easy to replicate with a Cricut, but I have the source to the Silhouette file here.
So do you see the word LOVE on my mantel. This was a super easy project that I found on Pinterest. Here is a close up of my version:
This was done with two pieces of Silhouette cardstock for sturdiness. I covered one piece with white cardstock for the contrast piece and them used some glitter valentines cardstock for the letters. The best thing about this is that someone else made the letters for this. Here is the pin with the Silhouette cut file that I used. She used the letters for gift wrapping, but I thing they look great as an addition to my mantel.
Hope you get to use this super easy cut file. I am off to design some Valentines for my kids class parties. Have a great day.
Hi all, Happy Monday!!
Not really ... we had a two hour delay again today, these really mess with my day!! Especially since it is just raining. Anyways, I have been reading lately that grateful people tend to be happier people. Now I am not saying I am not happy but I am trying to be more intentionally grateful to help me in those times where I feel like to world is against me. So with that in mind I needed a place to write my grateful thoughts down. I didn't want a book but something that would be a decorative fixture on my bedside table in addition to being functional. Here is what I came up with ...
So I started with this box ...
It was a Christmas box from years ago, that had been sitting in my craft room just waiting to be repurposed. I used a stack of fabric paper that I had bought year's ago to cover all sides of the box. The fabric paper is really neat because it is thin paper with a sticky backing. I then used my Silhouette to cut the month dividers. They are found here and here in the Silhouette Design Store. The final step was just to cut paper cards to journal my grateful thoughts. I am not going to force my thoughts so I don't think I will do it everyday, but try as much as I can. I can also use to to record any things my children do that I want to remember.
Hope this inspires you to stay grateful and journal those thoughts. Have a great day, and week if I don't get to another post this week!!!
