Silhouette

I was extremely spoiled this year and got the Silhouette Cameo for Christmas. It was been such a fun and wonderful investment. Most of the gifts I have given since Christmas have been courtesy of Cameo. (Note: most of these projects have been things I've seen, liked, and tried to recreate.) I hope to learn to be more crafty and come up with cute projects on my own! Until then, I'll keep borrowing ideas. Don't be too surprised if you get a gift very similar to those shown. My crafty brain doesn't stretch very far.. :)

If you are a super crafty person, these next photos will not impress you, but they make me happy. :)

Fun vinyl for the top of the kitchen aid.

This is my little 'seasons' shelf. It always hold the seasonal decor since there are few surfaces to put it on here. I bought the candle holders at Kohl's before Christmas on clearance for about $5 each, I got the candles at Hobby Lobby (on clearance after Christmas) for $0.60 each and then cut the heart things out of white vinyl and stuck it on. I got the silver charger from hobby lobby and slapped some vinyl on it. The random tinsel stuff is from the dollar store, and I cut the banner out with the silhouette.

Here is my Valentines subway art. This frame was a wedding gift, but it was gold. I really do not like the color gold... at all. Not even jewelry. Anyway, it had some really pretty detail, so I primed it, painted it, and distressed the edges and pattern a bit with some sand paper. I had to put 2 pieces of paper together to fit, and I cut the white vinyl out with the silhouette :D

I made this for part of Darcy's bridal shower gift. (She gave me something VERY similar for my bridal shower :D)

I made this for Summer.. I forgot to take a picture after- I put a red O on top since the white didn't stand out very well.

Here is the edge of the frame. The 'distressing' just looks like light glare..

I hope that I will improve in my crafting skills and look back on this and laugh at how pathetic I was. (I'm still not good at watch bands, but I think I have improved SIGNIFICANTLY since I started. :))
