Pin-spiration Monday 20: #Silhouette Cameo


I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! It is hard to believe how fast summer is flying by. I have to say that I have been so busy since my daughter has been out of school. It seems like I have been on the go none stop. Now we are getting ready for the camping trip. After the camping trip comes another trip.  I am ready for a vacation from the vacation...LOL! 

I know once things start to slow down a bit, I will have time to do more projects. One of those project is going to be using my Silhouette Cameo! I will have a ton of things that I will need to document for my scrapbook and my cutting machine is going to come in handy. The Silhouette Cameo can be used in many different ways. It can cut vinyl, fabric, and paper. There are so many projects that can be done using this awesome machine!

So for this week for Pin-spiration Monday, we are going to focus on some projects that you can do on your Silhouette machine! You can follow the Silhouette board here.

This is so cute how this is done using fabric. The Silhouette Cameo can cut fabric. Make sure that you use the blade that is for the fabric cutting only and do not use it for anything else.

This is so cute and there are many different ways you could go with this. You could easily change the flower shapes to create something completely different. What is nice about the Silhouette cutting machine, is you can go on to their site and buy shapes for .99 cents! Yes! I said .99 cents per shape. This is one of many reasons why I bought this machine because of buying shapes that I only want to use and not all shapes in a package, like you see with machines that uses cartridges.

So there you have it, some Pin-spiration on projects that can be done using the Silhouette. Don't forget to follow me on Pinterest boards here and you can find more ideas by going to my Silhouette board here.


See you next week for Pin-spiration Monday...who knows what I will be finding next on Pinterest.

Pinterest Monday #11: Burlap


Lately, I have been seeing a lot of stuff that is being done with burlap. Things I never imagine such as a table runner or a table cloth. It is quite different and brings a new spend on vintage or shabby chic decor. I am thinking of doing something with burlap, but have not decided what. When I do, I will be sure to do a post on it.

For this week, I found some really cute things you can do with burlap. So for Pinterest Monday we are going to focus on burlap.

This is a post about a wedding that uses burlap in the decor and other wedding details. I love how they used burlap in the smallest detail such as hair pin to the largest detail such as the table cloth. If I could do my wedding all over again, this would be exactly what I would do. Be sure to check out the site to look at more of the photos. They are beautiful!!!

Easy DIY Heart Wall Art

I wanted to spruce up my daughter's bedroom plain walls. The DIY heart wall art is a project that you can recycle and decorate at the same time!  The best part it did not cost nothing to make because I had the old wire coat hangers and the scrap fabric. The DIY heart wall art is really easy to make. This is perfect for a little girls room

As you can tell there is a heart fad going on in her room. Can you see the heart garland that I crochet hanging across the window? You can find the Easy Crochet Heart here. This heart theme purely by accident. But I think it fits her well because she wears her heart on her sleeves. Even at the age of 6, her heart keeps getting broken.......sigh.......yes......by a boy. I know, she is too young for this. All she wants is for him to be her friend and to quit running from her when she says hi. She just wants to play. This poor girl cried when he completely ignored her. She waited until she was in the car to let loose the tears. It broke my heart to see her this way. I do not remember having this problem at that age. I was too interested in my toys and playing outside.  If this is what I am dealing with at 6 in a half, what is it going to be like in 10 years? I am thinking I am in a world of trouble.....sniffle.

Now on to the DIY Heart Wall Art. As you can see I made three hearts, two pink and one white.

Using large wire cutter, I cut off the curved hook, this will be the bottom of the heart. Using pliers bend and shape the wire hanger into a heart. It does  not have to be perfect.

I had some scrap fabric that I cut into long stripes that is one inch wide. The pink fabric is cotton and the white is an old lace curtainYou could use any kind of material, such as ribbonburlap, or even yarn. Let your imagination go wild.

I secure one end of the fabric to the crease of the heart with some hot glue and stretch the strand to the outer edge of the heart, again with some hot glue. I kept going until I was satisfied.

You could experiment different ways of using the fabric and create a whole different kind of pattern.

I hung it on the wall using small nails. You will notice in the photos how the hearts is not 100% flat which is fine. I think it gives it a nice old look to it. Also a shabby chic look.

My daughter loves her hearts. Now if I can figure out  a way to make her forget about the boy who keeps breaking her heart, I will be satisfied... ; p
