In my neck of the woods the winter weather is nearly gone, so that means it’s time for me to start sprucing up my outdoor spaces. When I saw the new line of split monogram designs from Snapdragon Snippets in the Online Store, I was immediately inspired to make this personalized welcome mat. I tested a couple of fonts […]

Build-A-Monster Fridge Magnets
Have you tried the Silhouette Printable Magnet Paper yet? I can think of tons of practical applications for this stuff, but for this project I decided to try something fun instead and made monster “paper-dolls”. The printable side has a nice glossy finish and the material cuts beautifully, so my little monster pieces came out quite professional-looking. […]
Falling Hearts Mobile
I’ve been wanting to make a mobile since December when I first started seeing all of the beautiful Christmas tree mobiles posted on the web. Many of those were made with glass ornaments and were quite large, but I only needed a piece big enough to decorate my mantel and dangling glass ornaments would be […]
Valentine String Art
Growing up, I had always been a big fan of the old “nails in a board” string art and was so happy to see a resurgence in this campy craft lately. Using my Silhouette CAMEO and the Rhinestones Tool in my Studio software, I was able to quickly create a template for this framed piece […]

Mason Jar Vase and Matching Trivet using the NEW Silhouette Stencil Material
Hey ya’ll…I’m back with a quick project using the brand new Silhouette Stencil Material just introduced at Winter CHA 2014. It is a little known fact that I actually bought my CAMEO for the sole purpose of creating custom stencils…but when I realized how powerful of a tool it could be, I quickly started using […]
Recycled Wine Bottle Candle Holders
Between the gift wrap, party supplies, and excess food gone bad, my garbage can is never more full than it is during the week after New Year’s Day. In all that mess, I knew there must be something I could repurpose using my CAMEO. I noticed that I had several empty wine bottles left over […]
Meal Planning Chalkboard
I don’t really make New Year’s resolutions anymore…I’m more of a year-end evaluation kinda girl. Over the holidays, while I was enjoying the many delicious pasta dishes, turkey leftovers, and cookies, it occurred to me…I’m an adult, and I still don’t eat my vegetables. And it’s not that I don’t like them, but I guess […]
