I'm so crafty

Last week I made a present for an engagement party we attended recently. I liked how it turned out, so I'm dedicating a short blog about it. I started with a wooden plaque I found at a craft store. I then bought some black paint, mod podge, scrapbook paper, and some ribbon to match. Since my mom had a silhouette machine that she let me use, I was able to (with the help of Matt) create my own vinyl lettering. This made for a fun little craft and I think it turned out pretty spiffy. I mean, I'd use it in my apartment anyway. I think I'll definitely make others and play with more colors and sayings.

You can't see it very well in the picture, but the tan background actually has a light pattern to it. I think it added some nice texture and dimension. I completed the gift with a yummy spice candle.
