I hope you all had a great Monday/Labor Day! I love holidays like this because I get to spend it with my family. To make things even better it was in the 80's all day! Can you believe it? The scorching summer may finally be over. Well, at least we might not have anymore 100+ degree days.
Today I have a home decor item that I made using the Sophie cartridge (which is a Cricut Circle Exclusive). Now before you start throwing tomatoes at me, I want you to know that you can do something similar using other cartridges. Damask Decor would be a great option!I am sure there are several similar images on other cartridges as well.
 |
| I used 3 wooden plaques that I bought from Michael's. I then painted them. |
 |
| Then I cut this damask shape out at 3" and modge podged the shape onto the plaques. Then I added ribbon along the edges with a hot glue gun and connected the three plaques with a different ribbon and a hot gue gun. |
 |
| Then I added some adhesive backed pearls that I got from Close To My Heart. |
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Joy will back back here tomorrow with something wonderful!
Please come check out what I have made over on my other blog. Here is a sneak peak of what I made:
peace, love, and crafts!

These are really nice. I don't know how someone could come up with so many different ideas.
So sweet of you to give options for non-circle members. I love this cart. It is right up there with my Art Philosopy. Your wall decor piece is beautiful. I am heading over to your blog to check out that adorable humming bird creation. We just rescued a baby humming bird caught in a very large cob web 10 min. ago.

LOL...I wasn't going to throw tomatoes, promise! My first thought was that I could do this with another cart. Many of the carts do have designs that this would work well on. I love that you used wood. I'll be doing this one for sure. Thanks.
This is a truly fantastic project!
Neat idea and very sophisticated looking.
This is so pretty. I can think of several people who would like to have this.
Thanks, Karen
Really great decorating idea

What a darling home decor project!
Are you kidding? Scorching summer? 100-degree days? Labor Day was in the 80's? WHERE ARE YOU? Where I live ( northern Vermont ) there was a definite nip in the air. In fact, it was chilly and rainy all day!
But it's perfect weather to stay inside by the fireplace and make your pretty project. :D. It's great! Thanks for sharing!
This is BEAUTIFUL! I need to try something like this!!! Hugs- Glora
Absolutely loved this! Now another reason to tell my husband cartridges are not just for scrapbooking anymore. I can't wait to try this! Thanks for the great ideas!
