"There is always, always, always something to be thankful for."

I was going to wait until tomorrow to share this, but I just CAN'T wait! lol

I just finished putting vinyl on another old window sash and I am totally in love with it! I love love love putting vinyl on windows. It's actually maybe possibly kind of addicting! :) I haven't used my cricut in over a week so I was very excited to use it again!

On my last window sash that I did I put "All you need is LOVE" on it. You can see that here.

I found a quote on Pinterest that I absolutely love and I decided it would be perfect on a window! This was originally done on a piece of wood over at My Crafty Playground!
 

 

I designed it on my gypsy and then used my cricut expression with the 12"x24" mat and cut the words as big as I could. The words in white are done in the font off of the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge and the word thankful is done from the gypsy font cartridge and I welded it together on my gypsy.

I hope you like it! :)

Owl Painting on an Old Window

Hey everybody!

Can you believe it's already February!?! I wish time would slow down a bit! lol

But, I have a really cute project to show ya'll today and what better way to begin a new month than with a NEW and CUTE project??

I don't know about ya'll, but I just LOVE old windows! There is so much that can be done with them. You may have seen my 'All you need is LOVE." window  that I did a while back using vinyl. It has been a big hit with everybody! 

So, today I wanna show ya'll a painting I did on a window.

I love owls so I chose to paint that.

(I've also done a bird with branches window painting that i'll show ya'll later :) My sister has made me promise to keep it for her so that she can put it in a nursery! lol)

 I love love love this one though so it's going in my room!! :)

I free handed it on some printer paper that I had put on the window and taped together so I would know how big it needed to be and then I put it behind the window and painted it.

I'm super excited to start selling these and my vinyl ones in a local shop here. They are so much fun to make. I already have 3 more windows ready to be decorated :)

I better get busy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Vinyl on an Old Window

Hey everyone! Thanks for visiting!

I am SO excited about what I'm fixing to show y'all!

 This is probably my most favorite thing I've done so far! I found this through Pinterest and just couldn't wait to do it! It originally came from Sisters With Flair blog.

I put "all you need is LOVE." in vinyl on an old window that I got for $4 at Firehouse Antiques.  I stayed up til nearly 3 in the morning working on it, but it was so worth it because I love how it turned out!

I am so in love with it! What do ya'll think??? :)

This was my first time cutting vinyl on my cricut and I only messed up once because it didn't cut through the vinyl so I had to change my pressure.

I used these settings for cutting my vinyl:

Pressure - medium

speed - low

blade - 6

That gave me the 'kiss cut' (cut through the vinyl, but not the backing) that I needed.

I used my gypsy to design it how I wanted it. It took me 2 days to finally get my cricut to cut my welded images off my gypsy. I still don't know what I was doing wrong lol.

I had to split it up since I was using 2 different colors of vinyl. 

Next, I cut out my designs.

Don't you just love that pink??

Now, I'm gonna share something totally awesome with ya'll that I found through Pinterest that linked back to this blog. First, let me just say how completely amazing her and her husband are for thinking of this! It was so easy and worked like a charm!

You can use Glad Press'n Seal as an inexpensive alternative to Transfer Tape! I didn't think it was gonna work for me at first, but I got a card and pressed it as hard as I could onto the letters and it peeled them right up just like transfer tape would! You have to work with it a bit, but it's really not hard!

Next, it was time to put it on my window.

I put the love one under the window so I could kinda tell where it all needed to go. I started from left to right and pressed the letters down while holding the others in the air so they wouldn't stick before I wanted them to. This prevented my vinyl from folding up and wrinkling. Then I did the same for 'LOVE'.

 

ahh I love it! I can't wait to get it hung on my wall! :)
