I hope you guys are having a great week. I am trying to get my crafting back log taken care of. You see I typically craft in advance, so I am not scrambling last minute to get something up. Well, I am nearly out of things to post. Which means I am spending tons of time in my crafting room making things for both blogs. It was good that I had a little break for a while. I had lost my mojo and needed to find it.
I had several people ask me yesterday which DCWV stack I used for the layout. It is the Blossom song stack.
Today's project is a home decor project that I made using the American Alphabet cartridge that comes on the E2. If you have been following my blog for a while you know I love a good tree (flower, kite, or butterfly).
 |
| The patterned paper used for this is from Papertrey Ink. The cardstock if from Close To My Heart. |
 |
| I cut the tree at 6 1/2" and 'family out at 1 3/4". |
 |
| I used modge podge to adhere this to the plaque. Making sure each bit of paper is saturated on both sides to prevent bubbles. |
Thanks so much for stopping today! I hope that you guys are liking the mix up of projects. Sometimes I get tired of making cards and layouts and want to widen my repertoire. I did make some cards and scrapbook pages though today, so don't give up on me if that is all you want to see.

This is a cool looking tree...it is a neat project....I do miss your cards and LO though. Glad you are getting your mojo back :)
Such a pretty plaque but it would also make a sweet cover for a scrapbook album.
Thanks for sharing! :)
Great looking tree! I sooo am pining for the E2 carts to be linkable to my Gypsy. But you making want to work with them anyway. TFS :D
WOW!! This is gorgerous...I've been hesitant to try out home decor. Might have to give it a try after seeing this. So beautiful.
Please keep showing us different projects! I primarily do scrapbook pages and cards, but I want to widen my projects too!

I love it! TFS.I like that you show us different things we can make. I don't mind that you mix it up.
so pretty, I love seeing all different ways to use our cartridges!
This is a great home accent idea! I made baby announcements with this idea. Got rave reviews. The couple even painted a tree like this on their son's wall in his nursery! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. Speaking of Mojo. You still got it.

So. . . any tips for getting your crafting mojo back? I am way behind and wonder if I will ever catch up.
Lovely project! While I do scrapbook pages and layouts 98% of the time, I really enjoy looking at altered projects as well. Thanks for switching things up, now and again.
