Pastor Appreciation Poems

By

I’m on the committee for Pastor Appreciation. A fellow committee person found these poems and asked me to make them into something that could be framed. They will be put in matching black frames. Not sure if you can read the poems as my printer won’t print black ink even though it has a full cartridge. I printed in a tan to match their decor, which turned out better actually.

Used Visual Designs by Chris files cut with my wishblade… #CD00401 Butterfly Border. I’ve wanted to use that one since I saw it. Such a beautiful file. and Fancy Background overlay. I love love love detail and like when I can use my other supplies to embellish. Here I used some other punches. Punched the butterflies using navy diamond dust paper with a silhouette punch by Marvy. Also added bling to the butterfly body and brads and other bling to the punched flowers by 2GRRRLS. The added greenery is a Family Treasures punch. The butterflies on the cut out file were painted with mustard Radiant Pearls and then the punched butterfly glued over it.

Carveable art deco pumpkin maybe.. hmm…

By

Okay see this cheesy smiling kid. Well he has been home with me all day. (Cute School picture huh) He is on school break. and that cheesy grin is a busy little boy. So I am running really late today because I promised him he could cook so we had to run to the store. And of course we aren’t making pizza rolls. We are making baked pumpkins with “stuff” inside. Our stuff is hamburger, potatoes, onion, rosemary, sage.. that kinds thing… So this is the file I have for today. Carmen a member at the forum posted these fantastic pumpkins on her facebook page. I wanted to try one with a collar at the top. Well it went all right, but difficult when you have 4 hands tinkering with the vinyl and apparently you have to keep lifting the transfer tape to make sure the vinyl is stuck. haha


so we have a few spots that are not so perfect and here is my sons input… Because everyone pumpkin needs a nose and a smile. pretty cute.

I will add more at another time and probably make a second. I just wanted to get some quick pictures for the blog.

Was fun to do and the pumpkins are baking so it smells better then the foam the pumpkin we decorated is made out of haha. So we have added ambience with our food. The vinyl is actually brown. Everything seemed to move slowly today. But I have some green vinyl as well I got cheap at Lowe’s not to long ago. I think it was Wallies stuff. It feels just like the Cricut vinyl. So I am gonna pull that out and finish it off probably. Love my kiddo. love my life.
