"M" Wall Letter Saints Themed

My cousin needed a present for a little girl turning 2.  Her parents are huge Saints fans.  So she wanted me to make a letter with Saints colors & theme.  This is what came of that idea.  My cousin loved it & said that parents would too.
Details:
I used my Gypsy & Cricut to design & create this letter.
White Wooden Letter for Hobby Lobby - I painted it with black acrylic paint, painted the edges & "sponge" painted (using a crumpled up plastic bag) the front with gold acrylic paint.
All of the embellishments were cut from water color paper & painted with acrylic paint.
"Morgan" - Micky Mouse Font Cart.
"N.O. SAINTS" - Varsity Cart
Football - Sports Mania Cart & run through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
Fleur de Lis - ? Cart  (I have to check my G - don't have it with me)
"Who Dat" - ? Cart (I have to check my G - don't have it with me)
The letter & all pieces were sealed with Krylon Preserve It.

Jungle (Safari) Picture Frame

I am making some of these frames for my craft fair.  But a friend of mine told me that her neighbor was having a baby boy in the very near future.  The bedding for the room is Safari (Jungle) themed.  So I made this frame for her to give to the new parents.  I love the way it came out.
Details:
I used my Gypsy & Cricut to design & create this frame.
I painted the frame a light blue with acrylic paint.
The animals are all from the Create A Critter Cartridge.
The leaves are from the Life Is A Beach Cartridge.

Circus Frame

I made this frame for my Godson's (nephew) 1st birthday.  This is only the 2nd scene frame that I have done, but I am really enjoying it.
Details:
I used my Gypsy & Cricut to design & create this piece.
All of the images came from the Carousel (Lite) Cartridge.
For the background I tore up pieces of cardstock, ran them through my cuttlebug (browns - Swiss Dots) (blues - Devine Swirls).  I also inked around all of the ripped up pieces.  The browns are to represent the dirt ground at the circus & the blues the sky.

Slow Posting for a While

I will not be posting much for a while.  I am getting ready for a craft fair in September & have A LOT of inventory to get together.  Actually there might be 2 craft fairs. One is fairly small & I might just take orders (not sure yet).  The other is a big rather popular craft fair.  They are both in September & only a week apart.  I do have some things that I am also making for some friends, so I might be able to get some of that posted, but it won't be much.  I just wish I had a lot of vacation time to get some of this done.  I'm starting to stress.  I only have a little over 7 weeks to go for the bigger craft fair.  Wish me luck!!!!
