Sarah Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I couldn't believe it when I saw this post Christa! Look what happens when I leave you girls alone for a couple days! What an awesome idea, and a great presentation! I think you need to change your avatar to: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10CalGal Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 OK ladies I just got home from michaels where i spent about an hour being completely overwhelmed! I picked up some light blue velum, some cream colored velum, a few white bags, spray adhesive & a Fiskars paper trimmer. I plan to give this project a try tomorrow (FI made early dinner plans I just found out about). After being initially overwhelmed in the store, I found it to be a very inspiring place. Yes, this was my first time in a craft store. I also bought a plain wreath, some pine cones & some gold ribbon & am half way to making cool wreath for our front door. What's wrong with me?

SASSYGIRL Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Welcome to the dark side! HeHe! My FI calls it a "crap store" rather than a CRAFT store but I have made some pretty cool things! I can't wait to see how these turn out! I was thinking it might be cute to use really small bags and put your monogram on them or something cute - that way you could use lots of them and they wouldn't take up the entire table! Get to crafting and we will wait to see how you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkashmira Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I have to admit I don't quite get it. Where do you put the vellum and why areyou printing on it? Does the name show up in a shadow - I am very confused! (Sorry). I'm usually pretty good with this stuff but my mind has been blown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NABUMBAH Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 okay Christa, good to hear. you're so cute. Can't wait to see how they turn out. I've never seen that lawn set-up. That's pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10CalGal Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 OK, so I decided to make luminarias for Thanksgiving as my trial run. I've learned a few things: 1. My printer does not like vellum & is in need of a new color cartridge. 2. Getting stuff centered properly in word is a challenge 3. Spray adhsive really is sticky! 4. It's good to just mess around no matter how lame you think your first crafting attempt is. 5. Definitely invest in a paper cutter if you plan to do anything like this. I glued some ribbon to one of the trials just for fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
