I used my Gypsy to weld the letters together with Cursive 101 cartridge, and the Family is made with Plantin Schoolbook, and then I used the Sentiments cartridge for the little swirly. I then cut out on vinyl and the put in and the picture frame that I bought.

New chairs- sort of

Hi Everyone
I wanted to share a project that I worked on Saturday. My mom gave me her old dining room table when I moved and this weekend she gave me the china cabinet that matched the table so I was pretty excited.
But the chair cushions to the dining room table were off white and with kids still in the house that just wasn't going to work. Especially since they already went through all of us when we were kids LOL!
So I decided to get some fabric at Joann's and I recovered all of the cushions. I am so happy right now, I have never done this before and it was soooo super easy.
Take a look:

Old cushions

 As you can see these cushions have been used and abused! LOL!

So here are the new cushions I made.

I just love this fabric, and am so happy with how they turned out!

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS BLOG HOP & WINNERS!

Good morning all of my crafty friends.

Welcome! Today I am hosting the Christmas Decorations blog hop and I have a great line up of awesome crafters who have all created awesome decorations for your inspiration. Please make sure you visit all the blog in the hop list and leave a comment on every blog to be eligible to win my grand prize Cricut Imagine Cartridge. Plus, all of these ladies put a lot of time into their projects and would love for you all to visit them.

But first I must announce the winner of the Christmas Cards blog hop last weekend. The winner is Sherrie K, you won Cricut Cartridge Winter Lace. Please email me at scrapperbecka at yahoo dot com by Dec 15th or I will have to draw a new winner.
Also, I mailed out the blog candy from the Fall Decoration hop yesterday, so you should be getting it next week.
Ok, so on with the show. So, I thought it would be neat to have a Christmas Decoration blog hop because I always see the cutest decorations in the stores but they are so expensive. And I always think to myself "Hmmm... I could totally make that."  And of course I have so much crafting stuff, I wouldn't even have to buy anything.. LOL!  So I thought I would put it to the test and see what I could come up with. Plus, I wanted to see other ideas & projects so I could try those too.
So if you visit my blog a lot than you probably know by now that I love to make banners. And I love the $1 bin at Michaels. Yes I know I did it again... I make a Christmas banner out of the $1 bin coasters. Who knew these little coasters would be so handy. LOL!
Anyways here is the banner I made:

Here are some up close pictures
