DIY Halloween Trick-or-Treat Bags

0 · · 9 Comments

I just realised that I never posted this DIY Trick-or-Treat bag that I made for a fun event over at Eighteen25 and thought I would share if you happened to miss it.  It's so easy and fun… you TOTALLY still have time to make some for your kiddos for the festivites coming up!

When I think of Halloween one of my favorite elements is coming up with a super cute Trick-or-Treat bag for my four kiddos.  Now in my day, the bag of choice was my pillow case becuase I tend to lean on the side of optimistic, or shall we say hopeful! But a pillow case is about as cute as a… well a pillow case!

This year I teamed up with Christene one of my contributors at WhipperBerry to create a super easy DIY Trick-or-Treat bag that is the perfect size and darn stickin' cute…

The New Silhouette Cameo Test Drive

0 · · 19 Comments

It's no secret that I am a huge fan of the Silhouette personal electronic cutting tool. I've used  Sophie, my Silhouette SD to make my Portable Growth Chart and a fun Weathered Wood Sign for my friend Sarah.  I've made temporary tattoos, etched glass and have made all kinds of fun t-shirts for my kiddos.  All kinds of fun projects have come from my sweet Sophie.  Well… today I want to introduce Camille my new CAMEO to you guys!!

The Cameo is the next generation Silhouette electronic cutting tool and my friends… it was LOVE at first sight!  The Cameo has a much larger cutting capacity with a full 12 inch wide and 10 foot long cutting range. Did you hear that? You can make a vinyl sign that is TEN FEET LONG without having to piece it together!!!  This is a new day in the personal cutting tool world. 

Silhouette was kind enough to send one of their new Cameo's to my studio to take for a test drive.  It didn't take long for Camille {yes, that's what she has been named} and I to become fast friends. I decided I wanted to work on a project that I have had on the back burner for awhile.  I had this fun lamp that I new could use a little bit of love and I thought some vinyl inside and out would turn this simple and boring lamp into a lamp that could truly make a statement…

 

Did you notice the little secret the lamp has?  We all know, a clever girl ALWAYS leaves something to be discovered and this fun lamp is no different.  When you turn the lamp on you will see that the trendy chevron pattern continues on the shade as well…
