Barn Invitations

 Okay this year I plan to have a Barnyard Farm theme for my daughter's birthday! I wanted to make Barn invitations. So first attempts were dran barns and glue together pieces that looked like this. Was not pleased with either one. So looked further. And discovered if I got a new scrapbooking machine I could make super fabulous barns.

 

 These are the beautiful cricut barns! Made with Old west cartridge. Much cuter!

Will open doors and put animal inside and put party info on back eventually when it get's closer.

Valentine's Cards

 Hogs and Kisses!!

Got a new cricut and had to use it to make some v-day cards!

Making a Silhouette- Profile Project

Starter pic- profile of child

Print and trace.

 Turn over and scan or cut out and use as a template/stencil.

Making a silhouette from your own photo profile.... I looked online and got ideas how to do this. I cannot recall all the sites. First I got the idea from a magazine showing you how to use a light bulb to trace a profile of your child or whomever, but I quickly realized I could not get my small child to sit still for that long and looked further for how too's on using a photograph. After scanning you can attempt to make digital copy of it and fill it in with black or other but it is very difficult in my opinion. I tried several tutorials but none worked for me. I ended up with a smoothed out version which I also like but not as much as original because it has the detail that makes the profile my daughter. Also I probably should have flipped them back over because they are starting to look backwards to me, but oh well.

I also plan to make larger version for scrap book and make it into gifts in some form.

This is the finished product a photo to hang up in my home.

I think I may be addicted to silhouettes now!

Must make more!

Also if you search silhouettes you will find a ton of info, and can purchase them already made or made for you.
