Happy Monday!
It is almost here… the big day where kids get to live out their dreams and be whatever they want, get hopped up on candy and just relish in being a kid! Well now that I am finished talking about myself, let me share with you what I have up over at Amelia and Me Crafts sporting what you can do with Silhouette’s Magnetic Paper! Head OVER and check out the details of this fun game I made for some lucky kiddos!

I have a confession to make. . . I decided to join the Silhouette Cameo party and just received mine in the mail this week. This will never take away my love for my bug, but I did feel like I was two timing a bit on it! 🙂 However, this machine is soooo cool! I am just getting my feet wet with figuring it out and I started that with this project I made for the father of a very close friend. We were invited to his 75th birthday party and I wanted to make something very special for him.
He has a nickname of the “Pumpkin Man” since he makes family and close friends ceramic jack-o-lanterns with their names carved in the mouth smile. They also light up and they are perfect for Halloween! When we got married, we got a big pumpkin with our last name for a wedding present and when both of my girls were born, I got one with their names carved for a baby gift.
With all that in mind, I decided to make a sign for his front porch. I found a 12×18 wood board at Michael’s and I painted it in two layers of brown, burnt orange and white. I then sanded it down to distress and weather it.
I then cut out vinyl lettering in the Times Roman font and I found a cut at the Silhouette shop of the pumpkins. I used the cut twice, but flipping the second (which ca be done by a simple right click to find that feature). I cut this out on a gold metallic vinyl that I got from expressionsvinyl.com.
I think this turned out really cute and it was a great first-time project!
Thanks for sharing a piece of a tad bit of two-timing on my bug” pie with me.
