Hello, Friends!
It's been quite a while since I've posted.
Something happens every year,
that refreshes me and recharges my creativity...
it's called Autumn.
Here in Pennsylvania,
fall shows up for a day or two here and there,
before the leaves change
and summer goes away for a long long time.
It's perfect weather for a caramel latte
and some homemade pumpkin bread.
The colors of fall lift my spirits,
and they show up in flowers as well as on the trees.
My husband and I recently bought a Cricut Maker.
I hope to share lots of projects in the future.
I made my sign to usher in my favorite season.
I started with a round unfinished board from Lowe's,
which I sanded along the top edge.
I stained the board in a traditional finish.
Next I used painter's tape to create
an antique white band with chalk paint.
Now I was ready to make my stencil using the Cricut Maker,
some removable vinyl.
I had fun picking out the fonts and a sweet saying.
{I prepared the surface with some Mod Podge, to prevent bleeding of the letters.}
I hot-glued a pretty fall floral pick that I bought
from Michaels. I love the interesting colors of the pumpkins.
I popped in some little berries and a few loops of burlap ribbon.
that anyone can use to spark their creativity.
It's been really fun to figure out how to make various
projects, and we're just getting started.
I hope you'll meet me back here later for more projects!
What are you working on?
