We Call them Miracles....

Inspirational quotes can be lame unless they are coming from Doctor Who. Since I've been going through a lot of stuff emotionally I've been looking up pins on of my favorite geeky things (because that always cheers me up) and I kept coming across this quote from Doctor Who. When the Doctor monologues and you just know his big quotes are about some epic adventure they are in the middle of, but out of context, this quotes can be applied to everyday life. I had some canvases around so I decided to paint it with my favorite quote.

The canvas I used measures 12" X 24". For the base coat I did an ombre technique fading from light blue to black. I forgot to wipe off the canvas and there were little specks of stuff still on there. I was annoyed at first, then I realized the specks made it look like stars in a galaxy. I then use my silhouette machine to format the text. After sticking the letters on there I went over it with a coat of mod podge (that helps paint from seeping through) then painted the letters.

Its a little off and slanted, however I still love it and I hope you do to.

Halloween Wall Art

Hello Girls and ghouls! I'm happy that it is finally October! Its the month of birthdays (Tim and mine have birthdays two weeks apart) and its also the month of spooktacular fun! Last year I posted a few different Halloween themed tutorials including Halloween potion bottles and burlap bunting.  This year is no different! I'll have a different tutorial each week to help get you in the spooky spirit.

We're starting off with an easy one! Halloween Wall Art! They are easy and fun. I had a lot of fun looking up funky old timey clip art! Here is what I did to make my wall art here is how you can to:

Materials and Supplies:

• Picture Frame (I went with 8 x 11 from the Dollar Tree) 
• Sand paper 
• Spray paint 
• Halloween clip art

Instructions

• Open up the picture frame and carefully remove the glass and put it in a safe place. 
• Use your sand paper and rough it around the edges of the picture frame. (this will help the spray paint adhere to the frame) When you are done make sure to wipe away any saw dust. 
• Use some white paint and do a base coat. Allow to dry.
• Pick out some holloween-ish colors and start spraying it down. Allow to dry 
• Now the fun part, find your art work! The Graphics Fairy lives up to her name and is quite amazing. 
• Once your frame has dried, put together the frame and insert glass and your pictures. Now you are read to decorate your house!
