Lucky in Love Scrapbook Layout

In honor of St Patty's day I put together this cute layout. I feel so lucky to have met the perfect husband for me!

I was feeling festive so I made this banner and hung it above one of the windows in the living room. 

Mr and Mrs Pillows

I used a natural fabric, freezer paper, my silhouette cameo and fabric paint to make these adorable pillows. 

They even correspond to the correct side of the bed! 

I Love You Lighted Lantern Banner

I love how this turned out! I used a string of 20 battery operated lights (that I already had, score!). I used my silhouette to design and cut out the lanterns. I have it hung in our bedroom above the window, but I couldn't get a good picture of it up there so I took the picture on the floor. It would be fun with battery operated Tea lights in the lanterns too.

Count Down to Kisses/ Valentines Decorations

I hung this on the door using a couple magnets so the hubby can't forget Valentines Day! haha! I glued a heart onto a toothpick to put in the envelope for the corresponding day. Or you could put little love notes into the envelopes. 

I used my Silhouette to cut out mini envelopes, numbers and words to complete this "Count Down to Kisses" sign. 

I also hung a sweet heart swag over the window. Valentines decorations almost done!

Thank You Cards

So the Hubby's Birthday came and went, but he got a lot of generous gifts so I used my silhouette to design and cut out some Thank You cards. I thought I would share since they turned out so cute!

Freezer Paper T-Shirt Pattern

I used my silhouette to cut freezer paper (so cheap!) to use as a T-shirt design. I have a friend who's a complete Back to the Future fan so this will be a fun gift (pardon the wrinkles it needs to be washed and ironed). 

 I simply cut a piece of freezer paper with my silhouette cameo and peeled the design off the cutting mat. Make sure the shiny side of the freezer paper faces down on the mat when cutting. Then you iron your design on the T-shirt and use a brush or foam brush to add the fabric paint (I even added a little glow in the dark, how fun!) then peel off the freezer paper and let dry. I'm so excited!

Valentine's Day Candy Shaped Box

Wouldn't these be fun for your kids Valentines day party, just stuff full of treats and tie the ends. I downloaded this pattern from the Silhouette studio online store. 

I think I will fill one for the hubby ;)

Dinner Menu

So I found this half white board/cork board at the Goodwill for $1.99! I said to myself this would be an awesome menu board for the fridge, so it came home with me. I hot glued 4 magnets to the back and used my silhouette cameo to cut the words from vinyl. So easy and looks great on the fridge, don't you think?

Lighted Lantern

So I made this with my Silhouette Cameo! I downloaded the design using my $10 card that came with the Cameo. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Let me show you how, its so simple!

First you need to download the "box lace cube tent top" from the silhouette online store. Then send it to the silhouette to be cut.


Look what a great job this baby does!

So while the silhouette was doing it’s thing, I ironed two sheets of wax paper together.

  Once the cameo is done you can peel off your design.

  I used a craft blade to cut the wax paper to size to cover the squares.  

 Then glue the wax paper in place with a glue stick.  

Fold the lantern on the perforated lines and add a electric tea-light, close the bottom.

  Ooo isn't it pretty!  

Go find a dark place to get the full effect, I went to my laundry room

There are endless possibilities on what designs you can use. I modified the design in silhouette and added a robot, for my friend who loves robots. Wouldn't these be fun party favors! 

My New Best Friend!

Okay so this could never replace my best friend, but its pretty Amazing and has made this girl super happy. The hubby got it for me as my Birthday/Christmas present. I present the new Silhouette Cameo! I'm sure you've all seen it around the blog world. Isn't it beautiful, I'm in Love. 

It can cut any font that you upload to your computer! So I’ve been going crazy cutting vinyl and sticking words all over the house. I have lots of projects planned for the vinyl so stay tuned, right now I’m just having fun watching the thing do its magic!

The laundry room (maybe it will make laundry more fun, one can only hope)

Here is the door to our bedroom. My hubby freaked out and thought that it wouldn't come off when he first saw it (we're renting). I said nope its completely removable! How awesome!
