Handmade Gift Exchange

Linda at Craftaholics Anonymous hosts a Handmade Gift Exchange every year and this year I decided to participate. I’m so glad I did. I made a new friend. I was paired with a lovely lady named Brandi. We emailed back and forth getting to know each other and our families. It was fun! I plan to sign up again in June.  Linda hosts this exchange twice a year.

Here is what I made for Brandi:

This design was being shared on a Silhouette Cameo users facebook page. I immediately fell in love with it! I cut it out of vinyl, then applied the vinyl on a painted 12 x 12″ wooden board that I found at Michaels.  Next I spray painted the whole thing blue, removed the vinyl and sanded it all down to give it a more shabby look that Brandi says she likes. I hope she likes it!
