Displaying Our Love

I made a little plaque thingy this week using a piece of old floorboard I found. I had the hubby cut off the torn off end and then painted it and decoupaged scrapbook paper that coordinates with our bedroom on it. I think it looks pretty snazzy for being a discarded piece of wood.

Most of my projects have fallen by the wayside due to having a sick little toddler. He has bronchitis and things have been rough around our house pulling all-nighters with him. I currently feel like the mother of a newborn! Hopefully, he will get over this soon! He's been sick off & on for 5 weeks!

Another Plaque to Share

Are you sick of seeing these? Please let me know! I made this one last week for a custom order and am working on another custom order (Bonnie!).

1st Custom Order!!!!

I just completed my first ever custom plaque order!!!! I was a bit nervous since it was my first time to get paid for a craft! I think they turned out cute though... they are for a friend of mine... she's giving this first one to her niece who is crazy over purple... thus all the purple. :)

And this one is for her sister.... I really like the beiges & browns.

Thanks, Ashly, for placing my first order!!!

Initial Plaques Gallore!

Okay, here are some of the plaques I worked on this weekend.... you'll see a lot of PINK... we have 5 nieces so there's a lot of pink going around...

This first one is for my parents... I did it up for Christmas... I'll probably give it to them today or tomorrow so they can enjoy it.

This one is for one of my best friend's daughter The lone nephew's plaque - a star!

This one is for a friend

The labels I made to stick on the backs of them... I forgot to put the date though! Darn! They say, Made with Love By: Sarah.

More initial hangings...

Here are two initial plaque type things I've made for Christmas gifts this year.... shhh... don't tell. :) I'm swearing everyone to secrecy!

These would probably be the main feature of my etsy store.... if I ever get around to it! Ha ha!

Thought I would share this though for those who want to make their own.... just a simple plaque painted with scrapbook papers glued on. Distressed and coated. Super easy... just time consuming to let each coat dry... I like to paint the backs of them so they looked finished too.

Initial Hanging

I thought I'd share a recent project. I made this hanging as a wedding gift for one of D's co-workers. It's amazing what a little scrapbook paper, wood, mod podge, paint, and ribbon can do to a plain ole' piece of wood. I'm thinking about opening an etsy store to sell these... still undecided.
