I just came across a challenge over at http://www.palspaperarts.com/ that I thought I would try. Fifteen minutes later this is what I had. As soon as I saw the challenge was clean and simple and using pearls I knew I was going to use this cut from Home Accents. I love this cut, I think I am going to cut it sometime in brown vinyl with the Welcome that it shows on the cart to put in a picture frame.

Supplies
Paper: Very Vanilla, Brushed Gold, Chocolate Chip (SU)
Stamps: Well Scripted (SU)
Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU)
Embellishments: Soft Suede Ribbon (SU), Pearls (Queen & Co from AC Moore)

The Canadian Paper Trail

It seems that Jess over at The Canadian Paper Trail has had a flood at her home and has been unable to post today. Sorry for any inconvenience.

I am featured today at http://thecanadianpapertrail.blogspot.com/ . Each day a Canadian craft blog is featured. Tomorrow is my daughter Amanda http://bellascraftycreations.blogspot.com/ . The theme is Back to School or End of Summer.

I decided to try something I have been wanting to try for some time and that is vinyl. As I don't have children in school I thought about the older student or teacher with a laptop and I decorated my daughters laptop.

First I laid everything out on Design Studio so I could figure out how much vinyl I needed without wasting it. All cuts were cut at either 2" or 2 1/2". The blade was set at 4 so it would cut the vinyl but not the backing. The pressure and speed were set at medium. I used transfer tape for the "Inspire" cut and placed it over the piece of vinyl and rubbed it. Just the cut stuck to the transfer tape when I pulled it up. For the other cuts I just peeled them off the sheet and stuck them on the laptop, just be careful because it is very easy for it to stick to itself.

The cuts that I used are Inspire from Home Accents, the nightie from Sweethearts, the shoes from Wedding solutions cart(I cut 2 shoes, 1 was flipped using DS), the popsicle from Doodlecharms and the cupcake from Home Decor.

The flower and the hearts are cut using SU punches.
