On to the holidays….
I have seen these ornaments all over Pinterest and I wanted to give them a shot, but I wanted to create the entire image myself, so I was not limited on the options I have to use it.

Stencils with the Silhouette
I knew you could do it... but I'd never done it.... then I opened my mouth & volunteered to make stencils for my son's preschool class fundraiser..... After my offer was confirmed, I started researching.... usually I would recommend doing it the other way around and volunteering for something that you already know for sure… Continue reading Stencils with the Silhouette
