Have y'all seen this deal that Silhouette is having during their Black Friday sale? The Portrait is on sale for only $99! That's crazy!
This is the last project in my Silhouette Black Friday sale countdown, because the sale starts TONIGHT! However, be prepared for all my Christmas projects that I have planned with all the goodies I got!
While I was looking through the same Pottery Barn catalog that had the Joy to the World ornaments I knocked off I also saw this and fell in love....but not with the $160 price tag! Yikes!
But seriously, how beautiful is that? It makes me happy just looking at it. So I decided to try and make my own, cause that's what I do! I found an old frame I had that would work, but I couldn't find the right buckets. Bummer. I did however find these little galvanized ones on Amazon, 12 for $8.45. That I can do!
I popped the picture and glass from my frame and my awesome Dad cut me a piece of wood to fit. I then used my Silhouette to make little labels for the buckets out of their new printable adhesive kraft paper and the pen holder holding a sharpie. Here is a quick tutorial on how to cut them out and the free cut files are down at the bottom.
First step is to download the files {1-15 here and 16-25 here}, and open them in your Silhouette Studio. I have the file sized to a 8.5 x 11 sheet since that is the size the kraft paper comes in.
Open the cut settings window and select no cut.
The first step is to select the numbers and inner ovals since you will want to sketch them before cutting them out. Once they are all selected, click on cut.
Once they are selected and the setting is switched to cut, change the material to Sketch Pen. Change your blade out for the pen holder and a Sharpie. Send it to the Silhouette.
It will look like this.
One more day until the sale!!! Please come back tomorrow to see my final countdown project and the sale info will be released at 10pm MST.
It's simple and easy, perfect for a quick project. Grab the file here and enjoy some holiday cheer!
I wanted to post this real fast before Thanksgiving...when did it get to be Monday already!? Here is a print that I made last year and never framed.
It makes an adorable tag too.
Here is what my Give Thanks quote look like as a tag.
Feel free to grab them, snap a pic for me if you use them, I'd love to see your handiwork! My Silhouette post for today is in the works, so come back later!
Three more days until the Silhouette Black Friday sale! Can you tell I'm itching to share the sales with you?!
Today's project was inspired by the Charlie Brown Christmas special. My kiddos were watching it in the car and I always get weepy when Linus recites the scripture. I decided that I wanted to make something to display that reminds my kids {and myself} what Christmas is all about.
I found this simple nativity file at the Silhouette Design store and added words to create this cut file. I adore the simplicity of it and the verse is one of my favorites.
Now I just need to find the perfect frame and place to hang it {once I am allowed to decorate after Thanksgiving}!
Click here for the free cut file and come back tomorrow for my next project!

Actually he came to a friend's house! My kids are still 100% into Santa and I love seeing their faces every year when they see him. It's so magical. Thanks to my friend Nong, from Nong Cavender photography for the beautiful picture of my babies!
If anyone is in the Atlanta area I highly recommend her, she has amazing skills!
Here are the files for you, snap me a picture if you make some ornaments, I'd love to feature you!
