I think my scrapbooking habit has turned into a vinyl habit somehow. I have done tons of vinyl lately. I just did this for a wedding gift and I love it. I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I started with the vinyl and a frame I purchased at Hobby Lobby when it was on sale for 50% off. Then I took a white piece of 12 x 12 cardstock and laid a stencil over it and dabbed it with tan chalk. I then took some glue and put a few dots on the cardstock to add a little sparkle and put glitter on that and let it dry. I put the vinyl on top of the glass and i really like the finished project.

That is stunning and the reciepents will be so thrilled! And it's funny how our scrapbooking habits morph when we get our machines.

Wonderful project! I was going to do a tile for a co-worker who is getting married soon, but I think I will steal your idea instead.

Beautiful Lesa. What a great idea to put the background under the glass and the vinyl on top! They will love it.

Doing good! Are you going to be getting a space away from the house soon?

[Retta]

[kim]

what font/design did you use for the vinyl?

[LisaH]

Doing good! Are you going to be getting a space away from the house soon?

haven't completely made my mind up...may be converting another part of the house (re-arranging living spaces)...I can't decide if I want it away from the actual house or in the house, you know, because of those late nights when I can't sleep! If it's going to be inside we have to get the kiddos out before that can happen. They keep saying they are going to leave soon...just hasn't happened yet! He's 20 & She's almost 22

[PennyDuncan]

Yeah....LOL...Good luck with that one girlie!!! My oldest 27 just moved out about a year and a half ago......LOL My youngest is almost 19....and I don't see him leaving ANY time soon!!!! LOL

[LisaH]

that is not encouraging, Penny ...my oldest did move out...when he was 18 he left for college and never moved back in. He is now married to a great girl, has a beautiful daughter and lives 2 hours away... it's just these other two...

[PennyDuncan]

LOL.....They don't want you to have empty nest syndrome....so see they are just looking out for YOU!!!!!! Their sweet and loving mama!!!!!

[LisaH]

Well this sweet and loving Mama is ready for some space and to love then from "not quite so near" just a house / apt down the road would even be great!

I feel; your pain I am in a very small 10 x 10 room and feel like i need to expand stuff is sitting out in the hallway. I have a basment but feel I would never go down there and my cabinets that I had created for my creative space are too heavy to take down there anyway so I would lose my treasured storage space so I continue to fight the crowded room.
