A Little Crafty

I decided that I am going to be more crafty. I have already done a few things to make our apartment seem more homey, but after going to a vinyl party a few weeks ago, I decided I wanted to do more. I didn't want to put any vinyl on our walls since we are moving in 5 months, and I wanted to enjoy whatever I got for a little longer. I did these two projects and had so much fun!

On this one the letters are vinyl, and I used scrapbook paper to cover the chipboard. It took a log time, and unfortunately these projects ended up to be a little pricer than I would have liked, but we can keep them around for a while!


This one is my favorite. I picked the vinyl originally thinking that I would put it on a board, so I got it in white. I couldn't find a board that was the right size, and we don't have the tools to let me do my own. I started thinking of a ton of different ideas and eventually decided to put it on the glass of a frame. I couldn't find a frame, but after a trip to Porters and stumbling across their 50% off frame sale I found one for $12! I used scrapbook paper for the back, and thanks to my wonderful hubby, I think I will change it out occasionally. He had the wonderful idea of changing it seasonally, and to match the room we put it in! The frame isn't crooked on the wall, the camera was, it is in out narrow hall entrance and not so easy to photograph!
