Book Banner

My husband graduates from LPN school tomorrow. I made this Congrats banner to hang on our mantle.

 I thought about doing Congratulations but it seemed easier to just to Congrats. 

I used this tutorial for the book pages and used the Silhouette to cut out the circles and letters. I love how it turned out and am so proud of my husband for graduating. We still have a long road ahead but we are making progress and that is something worth celebrating. 

Chevron Love

I've been on a pillow craze! Pillows are a great way to change up decor without paying very much. I know Chevron pillows are everywhere right now and I wanted to give it a try. I used my Silhouette and had it cut out the chevron and the words Love.

It was really easy! I didn't have to cut a thing! Which is great because if you know me well I am horrible at cutting. Maybe it's a lefty thing. :) 

After I ironed the chevrons on I sewed around all the edges with my sewing machine. I love the stitched look.

Here's another pillow I made using freezer paper.

 I just had the Silhouette cut out my stencil and then I painted and sewed it up. Super easy and really fun!

Springtime Art

I decided to make some more springtime decorations. I got out my handy Silhouette and used the free download for the week.

I thought it needed a bit more so I spelled out Springtime. I really love how it turned out and I didn't have to cut out anything. Which is great because if you know me well you know I can't cut. :) I would get docked points in Interior Design school for not having straight lines on my projects.

Here's to hoping for warmer weather soon.
