Fairytale Signs

I've seen similar ideas all over Pinterest, so I decided to do one for myself! I gathered broken, odd shaped, rough looking scraps of wood and then designed all of the titles with my software. I printed them out in vinyl, but I used them as a stencil so that they will last longer. Living in the Maritimes we have a lot of crazy weather to deal with. I didn't seal them with anything because I wanted them to become more worn and distressed looking with time.

Mixed Media Art

This cute box is one of the "chunkie's" that I am working on. There is a lot of texture and layers of neutral colors in this project. It was definitely one of my favorites!

Courage Strength Believe

 For my niece Ava, who is still battling a brain tumor. We love you sweet girl!!!

Family Rules Chunkie Box - mixed media art

16x20 Mixed media Canvas Art. This is one of those projects you really need to see up close to see the textures, colors and layers of fun stuff. It sold within minutes of posting, which made me happy and sad. I had fallen in love with it but it went to a happy and deserving home.

16x20 Mixed media Canvas Art. Another fun canvas that has so many layers of yummy colors and texture. There are even some hidden messages in there that are super special.

A Merry Little Christmas Tile

Merry Christmas 2015! I hope whoever is reading this had a happy and healthy holiday season with your family and friends. :)

I love look of this christmas tile. Because I have a lot of extra tiles from our kitchen floor, I used one of them to spray with a glossy black paint. I didn't use a clear sealer on this one since it already had a gloss finish with the spray paint. I've used chalk paint on tiles, and because it's a flat finish, I always use a clear glossy sealer over before putting any lettering down.

Baby it's Cold Outside

I made this pallet sign with some leftover 1x6 pine boards we had from our deck project. They are held together with some thinner pieces of wood, held in place with gorilla glue, and then nailed.
I lightly brushed on some white satin paint, and then sanded it down. I intentionally didn't put paint all over the sides and in the corners. I wanted it to have a really distressed look.

I designed the lettering and snowflake with my software and printed it out in vinyl. I used it as a stencil instead of placing the letters down. The final step....Minwax Jacobean stain. I love that color!



This sign was made with a 12x12  1/4" mdf  board.
I mod podged a piece of tan cardstock. If you look
closely, you will see it has a raised design on it.
I sanded it and antiqued around the edges with some
brown acrylic paint. I sprayed a coat of clear gloss
sealer on before placing the lettering down.
The lettering was designed on my software and then
printed out and placed on.
