The first photo is from my mantle. Our house was about 12 years old when we bought it, so it wasn't equipped for a TV above the mantle. With the help of my Dad we got it up on the wall, but then there were all these cords that I have been trying to figure out how to hide. Christmas is great because with all the decorations you can't see them at all. When I took the garland down this year I decided that I would try to find some way to hide the cords. I had a couple of canvases in my stash. I painted them the color of the wall and then cut out a bird and heart with my Sizzix. I used Modge Podge to attach it and then added a touch of glitter. They are big enough to hide the cords from the side and because they are the wall color they blend nicely.
This is another canvas I made for the shop. It is a little smaller and I cut a stencil out this time and painted it. I would recommend the stencil instead of the cut out.
This is another sign. I used a stencil I cut out with my Sizzix Eclips.
I love Starbuck's Frappacinos. They have such great bottles for projects. I thought they would be perfect for pink lemonade or even toppings for an ice cream bar. I found this CD storage box and took out the inserts. I painted it and then added the letters. It has a couple of coats of Modge Podge. The lids were spray painted and then hearts were painted on them with a paint pen. The have a touch of glitter and then a coat of Modge Podge. Now they are ready to party. Have a great weekend! Cindy
