It's a snow day! The midwest blizzard of 2011 is winding down and the boss called and said "Don't even think about coming in!" So, here I sit.
Work's loss is your gain! In the spirit of hating winter and hoping Punxsutawney Phil is correct... I have made some Easter blocks, and thought I'd show you how to as well!
Cut 2x4 blocks in random sizes. I cut my from 3-7 inches tall.
Next, I found some Easterish scrapbooking paper and measured and cut to the size of the block.
Then I used my most favorite thing ever, Mod Podge, and cover the back of the paper completely. I then use a roller to make sure the paper covers completely and push out any bubbles. (BTW, don't ever get your nails done... cause they look like CRAP afterwards!!)
Then I like to distress the edges with Tim Holtz's distressed ink. Here I used vintage photo. I do the edges of the paper and the blocks to blend it all together.
Get your trusty Cricut out or cut out your own letters. I used the Calligraphy cartridge with Celebrate.
And tada! We (you) have spring blocks! I also made some Valentine blocks. A quick and easy decoration bring you out of this dull yucky winter slump!
