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…

A Magical Day at Scentsy

0 · · 5 Comments

I want you all to think back…

Think back to your favorite smell memory.  We all have them. It may be your grandmother baking snickerdoodles in the kitchen or an old boy friends favorite cologne.  Some of my favorite smell memories come from my grandparents avocado ranch in southern California. They had all kinds of fabulous fragrance opportunities, eucalyptus trees, fabulous floral concoctions and the citrus… oh the citrus! As a little girl I loved walking through their citrus grove taking in all of the lovely scents.  Fast forward a few years…

I was one of the lucky handful of bloggers invited to Meridian, Idaho to enjoy a fabulous Day at Scentsy.  I was thrilled!!  I traveled up to Boise from Las Vegas and had the fun opportunity to stay at the swank Hotel 43, beautiful by the way.

As I walked the halls in the stylish hotel to my room after all of the joys of traveling, ready to put my feet up. I opened my door to my hotel room and  walked right into heaven.  One of my favorite scent memories… Sunkissed Citrus!! I was right back in my Grandparent's citrus groove.  That my friends is the MAGIC of Scentsy!!

Boy I tell you, that started the whole trip of with FIREWORKS!!

This Giveaway is CLOSED

I have been so excited for this giveaway I am going to post it a little EARLY!!  I don't know about you but I am in love with all the fun things that you can create with words and beautiful topography, weathered wood and paint.  You can find all kinds of great signs all over Etsy that are created with vinyl, but… how about a HAND PAINTED sign?  I have been in LOVE with Barn Owl Primitives for some time and I was soooooo excited when this arrived in the mail the other day…

I turned into a giddy little girl when this brown paper package arrived all tied up with pretty ribbon.  Kristi and I had worked together on a fun sign and I couldn't wait to see it! It's a great new Family Rules sign with a fun little twist…

I decided that I wanted to add a pop of red to the sign to highlight one of the most important "rules."  Didn't it turn out aaaamazing!! I love the blue on the weathered white wood with the fun red Love One Another.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! Kristi is a true artisan and I am LOVING my "new" HAND PAINTED beautifully weathered sign. 

Here are some more of the goodies that you can find at Barn Owl Primitives that I may need to add to my shopping list…

Far be it from me to put a rush on things… but whether we like it on not, the HOLIDAYS are around the corner!! My motto this year {yes, I am borrowing it from the Boy Scouts} BE PREPARED. The only way that we are going to be able to create a fun handmade holiday season is to start now and this is the perfect project to get a head start on… Holiday Gift Tags.

How many times have the gift tags become a forgotten item in the holiday decor?  Even worse, you are stuck with a store bought tag when you know that you could make some sooooo much better.
