Mixing Media!

It's amazing what happens when one mixes a little bit of paint on a canvas....

I've always loved painting, but can't even draw a good stick person!  So with a little bit of help from my cricut I was able to create  a little bit of magic!

     The sky truly is the limit! 

Writing on our walls....

We are having the time of our lives mixing the cricut and vinyl! 

Personalized words add so much warmth to a home! 

For this project we used SCAL to layout the words and the cricut to cut them out on Black Matte vinyl.  The matte finish really gives the right 'feel' in our down-home country rooster kitchen! 

We used medium speed, blade depth of 6 and medium pressure.   It gave us just the right kiss-cut meaning it cut through the vinyl but not the backing, which made it easy to transfer to the sticky transfer paper.  Once on the transfer paper, it was a breeze to adhere to the wall!   

Check back soon to see more writing on our walls!

Let's Go Racin' Boys! - SCUT2 File added!

Being avid Nascar fans, it only seems right our basement bathroom would take on a racing theme!

Using SCAL, I cut 3.5" letters using Glider Girls font from glossy black vinyl.  This was my first attempt at vinyl on the wall!  I KNOW there will be LOTS more!  I really like the way the letters shine..  (hard to see in the photo)
Gives the effect I was looking for!!

I haven't cut the 'Let's go racing boys' yet.... not sure if I want it just below the 'boogity boogity boogity' or on the mirror....   (the words reflect in the mirror) 

Any thoughts out there??  What do you think??

Just Dancing!

What a beautiful Easter morning in South Dakota!  The rays of sunshine and calm winds are a welcome gift!  Speaking of gifts, Sammie & Hailey love their dance class, so when I saw the Crate Paper Paperdoll collection I knew it was perfect for what I had in mind....a 'Just Dance' glass block light!   A while back while surfing the net, I came upon ShimmyBean's website ... which is where the pattern and inspiration for this glass block came from!  Thanks ShimmyBean!

I cut the Just Dance design from SCAL using my cricut.  Wow!  That black gloss vinyl sure picks up finger prints!!!

Then measured & cut Crate Paper to fit the edges and back of the block. Flower was cut from Plantin Schoolbook.

Happy Easter to all!  Enjoy this beautiful day!
