Surfs Up, Dude!

I was able to play around with my new Cricut and made some birthday invitations for a beach themed party. I love the way the sand and the surfboard turned out. I also love the double layered text! It made for a nice effect. Have a wonderful day! 

Valentine's Day Quilling

I managed to make two Valentine's Day quilled pieces in two very distinct and different techniques.  The first was using my cricut to cut out the word love. (Did I mention my wonderful hubby gave me one for Christmas?)  I did a double layer cut out and then quilled around the inner layer with a matching pink 1/8' strip.  For the hearts, I just free handed cut and glued them on and then used the spiral technique to go around the edge of the hearts.  I wanted to experiment more with the spiral technique, so I did...  This is the result of my experiment.  Lots and LOTS of spirals glued into place.  It is an 8x8' piece and I admit the curves and maintaining the spiral consistency was a challenge.  It was a fun and challenging piece... The beginning drawing... Coming along...   A close up... Almost Done A close up of the finished quilling... Doesn't that look nice on the top of my desk?                                      Follow Me!

Quilled Letter "L"

I had the opportunity to create a letter "L" initial. The customer wanted the color combination of blue, black, and red.  I wanted to highlight a flower in the letter.
