Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter G. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their G element will be featured in their post.

For my project, I used the letter "G" on the Art philosophy cartridge from Close To My Heart. I cut out the border using an old paper packet called Typeset for the back round, and a piece of  Cashmere card stock for the center. I cut both of  the images at 5 1/2. I decided to make this for my youngest daughter to put on her door. For the letters in her name, I used a green called Sweet Leaf. The letters are cut from Art Philosophy as well, and they are cut at  1 1/2. The purple felt banner at the bottom is from Queen and Co. I got it a few years ago at the CK convention when it was in town. The sparkles are from my stash. I hope you like it!

For my project, I decided to make this "Home Sweet Home" wall decoration. I found a 4x6 wood frame from the goodwill that was unpainted for .99 cents. What a deal! I found some craft paint that I had purchased ages ago, that can be used to paint wood, terracotta, and other outside items. This color is barn red. I stamped the sentiment with Stazon ink onto cashmere card stock. You can't see it, but I added a few small pieces of bling on the swirlies.  I made a flower out of burlap ribbon. This was not my design, I found a video on you tube by a sister consultant. You can watch the video HERE. I then added a button threaded with some of the burlap strings that I had pulled out of the ribbon when I made the flower. To adhere the flower, I hot glued it to the frame. I then hot glued the burlap at the top to create the hanging piece.

Thanks for stopping by!


Supplies:
