Wood Love Letters

Today’s inspiration was Valentine’s day.  I decided to try my hand at cutting out a new font style.  I ended up using the Script MT Bold font because I like that the “O” was open at the top and I wouldn’t have to use my other saw to cut out the center.  The letters are also a little wider than some which is good for preventing the wood from breaking. I painted the letters a soft pink then dabbed on a darker pink for a distressed look.  I used the same paper that I used in my previous post of the heart, as well as another Valentine’s...

Valentine’s Challenge

I created this Valentine’s door hanger for a challenge that Craft Edge has on right now.  It has to be in a Valentine’s theme, and you must use your SCAL program to do it.  For mine, I used the heart provided by the SCAL program in Basic Shapes.  I overlapped my black paper onto some pretty pink paper by the Anna Griffin line (it’s really sparkly!).  I used the French Script MT font for my lettering, and I found the lips in the Craft Edge forum provided by Craigg64 via clker.com.  Thanks so much by the way!  I then just added some sparkly pink gems...

Pink and Blue Owls

This is the latest set of owl bookends to go up for sale in my shop.  I painted these owls pink and blue, and used paper patterns in pink, green, blue and yellow to decorated them.  Each bookend was painted in a soft yellow and Wild Green for the outer edge.  I added little pink flowers and pink gems to the outer corner of each bookend, and also used the same flowers in pink and green on the owls ears.  This is  a really cute set that would go great with the Love N Nature bedroom set, or pretty much any other owl decor!

ABC 123 Bookends For Girls

This is my latest ABC 123 bookends set.  I did the ends in pink with little yellow gem stones, and the blocks were all painted white, distrested around the front edges,  then covered in different papers with pink and yellow patterns.  They feature diamonds, elephants, and cows jumping over the moon.  These designs are so cute!  The letters and numbers were done in a dark purple which goes great with these colors.  This set would be perfect in a baby girl’s room!

New Set Of Kids Bookends

Here’s my latest set of owl bookends for kids.  I’ve been working on a couple of owl sets the last couple of days, but I managed to get this one finished today.  I decided to do these owls in more Earth tones of browns, blues, oranges, and greens. I added green and blue gems for the eyes (to match their wing color), and I also added some green snow globe glitter gems to the edge of each bookend.  I painted the ends with a greyish-blue color, and did the outer edge in green.  I also added on a little flower to each owl’s ear.  I’m happy with how...
