I am really loving my Silhouette! I love to do quick and easy projects with it. The software is pretty easy to use and I like that!
This is one of my layouts. See all those flourishes? I didn’t need them all, but I like to fill in all of my dead space. The BEWARE OF DOG is a free font from DaFont.com. It is called 28 DAYS LATER. I love the chippiness of this font. The “welcome” is “English”. Can you see where I might be going with these two phrases?
The flourishes had a bunch of tiny little specks that had to be picked out. I’ve been using a pair of tweezers to get into the tiny little places.
I have several of these decorative wooden pieces I bought from Joey’s booth before my favorite Peddler’s Mall closed. I got 4 different pieces for .96 cents. I sure do miss that place! I painted it with some red oops paint.
This is where my new little sign will hang. I’m sorry for the pitiful picture. It was COLD and RAINY outside. I used some twine to hang the sign, but I didn’t like how it hung. I switched it out for heavy gauge wire.
I hope you have some sunshine and warmth where you are!

March 16, 2011 at 12:55 pmVery nice Gail… love that distressed font…
I don’t imagine that was easy picking all those little pieces out of it though.
Have a great sunny day… I think you are sending it our way tomorrow… today is very foggy and rainy.
Hugs, Deb

March 16, 2011 at 11:29 amHi Gail! It’s supposed to be sunny and around 60 here today too! I’m not sure which outside project to start first! :-)About the only thing I don’t like about working with vinyl is those “small pieces” grrrr….The beware of dog side almost looks like paint!I love the font. Great Job!
