My Menu Board

Golly I have been away way too long. This post is an old craft but I've been using it religiously for months now and the fact that we only fight about dinner once a week has brought much peace to my home. My family is 100% on board and we all look forward to knowing what's on the menu.


I used a 13x17 frame and many Cricut cuts to make the board, reassembled the frame and use a dry erase marker on the glass.

 

I'll try to come back soon and load more recent stuff...there isn't much sadly :(

TTFN!

A few new layouts...one made with the Dotty For You special pack

This layout is made with the Dotty for you paper pack which is this month's constant campaign. The photo is one my daughter took of her eye and edited. I think it is a perfect representation of the eye/vision she has for photography and graphic arts. Here is more information on the Dotty For You paper pack

This LO is the Night Owl's January challenge...I am just now getting around to it...my bad! I used CTMH papers and embellies. Distressed paper and Cricut Christmas and Quarter Note for the title.

This LO is the Night Owls March sketch challenge. The photos is of mom and I meeting THE Tim Holtz! What an awesome guy! CTMH papers used...lots of distressing & crackle paint.

 

 

This LO is of my brother and one of his fabulous boys! Mostly a simple design using Creative Memories paper that is pre-distressed. I added several stamped images to carry the design throughout. Stars are stacked for dimension.

Lastly, a get well card using the Market Street stamp set that I won a few months ago. The background is done with an embossing folder that was randomly inked to bring out the texture. The whole card was spritzed with white ink. The wings on the critter are done with Prisma Glitter.

I'll check in soon! TTFN!
