Reindeer Food

Merry Christmas everyone!  It's challenge day over at PDE Linky Parties.  Miss Janis, challenged us to create any crafty project.  I love me some creative freedom...   Here is what I created.

Every year the kids make reindeer candy to sprinkle on Christmas Eve.  Usually I grab a free label off the web.  This year I decided to try to create my own.  I created this in my Silhouette Studio.

I fond some cute snowflake digi paper, and changed it's transparency, so it wasn't too dark.  I then found a really cute reindeer file.  It's from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon.  You can find it HERE. 

The poem is the same as you can find on most bags of Reindeer food.  I just typed it out and then made it fit on my label.  You have to fill it and change the line color so everything prints in the same color.

Here is a screen shot of my Silhouette Studio, whit my completed tags:

Of course, we then made some reindeer food - some oats and lots of glittery sparkling sugar and sprinkles.  The reindeer and Santa seemed to find their way to our house, and I will have 2 happy kids when they wake up!
  

I hope you all play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you create!

Wise Men Still Seek Him

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is my day to share a project over on the PPPR blog.  I am so excited to show you the project I created with Lisa's cute files!!

I decided to make a wooden Christmas sign with one of Lisa's fun titles.  I used the PVPP (paint, vinyl, paint, peel) method where you adhere the vinyl to a painted board and paint the negative space.  I don't own a lot of vinyl, and this is a way to get different colors without buying a bunch of vinyl.

This sentiment, is one of my FAVORITE Christmas quotes.  For our, Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus, and this sentiment brings it all together for me.  

I love how this turned out!!  You can still see a bit of the wood grain underneath.  I was so pleased that the letters were crisp - the only other time I made a project like this, my paint bled a bit under the vinyl.  I learned the hard way, that I could avoid that by painting one coat of my base color over the vinyl before painting the colors.  It helps seal the edges of the vinyl so no paint can find its way underneath.

Here is the cut file I used, which you can find in the PPPR store.

Hello!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is my day to share a project over at the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon blog, featuring some of Lisa's amazing cutting files.  Here is what I created:

I love this little Matryoshka Doll file!  I have had my nesting dolls since I was a little girl, and I plan to get one for my daughter too.  She is resting on a label from the Layered Labels 2 file.  That file is one of my "go to" files these days!

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas "Simply Said" I find myself reaching for cards that I can send to the teacher, or a friend, and this set has lots of great sentiments for that.
