Home Decor

I just adore all the home decor items in the first issue of the Cricut Magazine. So I had to try my hand at it and I decided to make this from page 76.

Here is what I made.



I'm giving this to my Secret Sister at Church today ;) She has never even met me so its alot of fun.
I used Wall Decor & More for the plant and the words. The plant is cut 5 1/2 in Old Olive and Chocolate Chip. The words cut at 3 3/4 int he same. I hand stitched the brown border and used my sew easy. The layer is punch with a scalloped Stampin Up border punch and decorated with Stampin Up brads. I bought this frame at Walmart for $2. I really like how it came out and I hope she does too.

Thanks for looking and have a great Sunday!

Monochromatic Challenge

This week's Challenge over at Paper Therapy was to make a monochromatic card, with a color of your choice. I always shy away from these challenges because I never know what to make or what colors to use. On the other hand, I promised myself I would be participating in as many challenges as possible. So here is my take on this week's Challenge.



I really enjoyed how this one came out so I decided to make another one similar to it for my Mother's Birthday this coming Thursday. Her favorite color is green and that seems fitting since she is a St. Patty's day baby!

I used Stampin' Up pretty in pink, pink pirouette, very vanilla and old olive. Stampin Up buttlerfly embossilt, medium jewelry tag punch, teeny tiny wishes stamp set, Tiny Tags stamp set and Elements of Style Stamp set. Old olive satin ribbon and Offray pink ribbon. embroidery floss and pearls from my stash.
Thanks for looking!
