Welcome Sign Made With Prickly Pear

I thought I'd share a sign I made the other day...still need to add ribbon at the top to be able to hang it. I used the Stamp Of The Month, CTMH's Prickly Pear paper, blue burlap ribbon, and some prickly pear sequin to add a bit of bling. 

After looking at the photo, I might put it in a frame instead...which way to do you think it would look better?

Welcome Sign ~ CTMH's Zoe Paper Pack With Shimmer Trim

I thought today I'd share another one of the projects I've been working on using the "Zoe" paper pack. I wanted to change the header on my Facebook business page. I like having a "Welcome" sign there...so when you come to my page it is the 1st thing you see. The one I had I loved (I love the color combo of pink / grey / black) but it was retired paper (from a while back) and I thought it was time to make a new sign with new CTMH paper. Change is good (at least sometimes). I used the Zoe paper pack (X7197B) with the coral shimmer trim (Z3088). I cut the letters using my Artiste Cricut cartridge (Z3170). I sponged (Z697) the letters with black ink (Z2105) and then outlined them with a black pen (Z1979). I like how it turned out...it's not fancy, but I like the clean, simple look. What do you think?

Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ Be The Best That You Can Be

Today I'm sharing a poem for our "Quote Books".


                        Be The Best That You Can Be

    Be the best that you can be
Pursue your goals persistently
Make your fondest dreams come true
and most of all believe in you

 

I thought I would share this poem today because I thought it would make a nice saying for a sign.   Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes or poems next week. Hope you enjoy this poem!  (Ps. I found this poem at scrapbook.com)

Quote Book ~ A Poem To Add To Your Book ~ Irish Blessing

I usually do the quotes today to add to your quote book...but I decided today to do a poem instead.

Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you

I thought I would share this poem because I could use a little "pick me up". I think it would look really nice made into something (a layout in a frame or on some type of sign to hang in my house). Looks like I have another project on my to-do list. :) Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes next week.  Hope you enjoyed the poem!
