Now, on to some J heavy pages:

Have a wonderful day peeps.

Srsly? No comments for the last post. I am slightly heartbroken.

2. Text Wall Hanging - I thought this would take like an hour. It took all freaking day. I used some cheap vinyl stickers I got on clearance with my Silhouette vinyl to make this pic about special places for me and the PK. Here is the "in process" picture.

Here is the finished product:

I will never do this again. It was a pain. Although, I do like the result.

3. Sports Themed Pictures - J informed me that the precious canvas paintings of animals he previously had in his room were "kind of babyish". I needed to replace them with sports stuff. Like, "football and baseball and boxing and stuff like that". As I dried my tears, I found these cool "grunge" balls on the Silhouette site. Here is the baseball. A football and basketball are to follow but I ran out of time. Busy season and all that.

My resolution for 2011 is to decorate my house. I have done lots of "decorating" but nothing is ever finished. This year, I want to finish something. Alot of things actually.

There were a few little home decor projects I wanted to get done. So, yesterday, I did a few.

First up is a little picture for Cam's room. I had this piece of Crate Paper patterned paper that I just LOVED. It was so pretty, I couldn't use it. I couldn't bear to cut it. So, I decided to display it as the background to a picture so I could look at it all the time.

I got two metal dress forms a few weeks ago at Hobby Lobby 50% off. I like the edgy, femme theme and that is what I'm going for in Cam's room. I cut out two dress forms with my Silhouette and glued them on the paper. Then I framed it and hung it in Cam's room. Easy.

About a year ago (see, told you I was slow with the decorating), I bought a bunch of paper lanterns. My original plan was to hang them in Cam's big girl room, but it didn't quite work out (as you can see, I went in another direction). So, yesterday, I took six of the white ones and hung them in the playroom.

They kind of look like clouds.

I used the Silhouette to make the titles for both of these layouts. I also used it to make the film strip edges on the "gift" layout.

Speaking of gifts...Noel Mignon is running an AMAZING contest. Upload a layout with the theme "gift" and link it on their blog and you are entered to win TWO (yes two - one for you and one for a friend) of the December Bedford Falls kit. That is a nice giveaway. Wish me luck!

I bought these cute little Peace tights a few weeks ago and couldn't find a shirt to go with them. So, I downloaded this little peace heart from the Silhouette online store and used some Dark Pink heat transfer material to make a shirt specifically to go with these pants. The pinks match perfectly. I would have gotten Cam to model, but she is using her unique 3-year-old ability to concoct her own outfits this morning (which means she is wearing a grouping of mismatched, seasonally inappropriate clothing).

I also made some cute little star ornaments with Sculpey clay and American Crafts ZING! Embossing powder for Cam's teachers at school. They were super easy and very fun to make. The kids like to pick out the colors and pour the embossing powder on. I like to pour on lots of UTEE and watch it cook.
