This quick Halloween project was inspired by the legend of Bloody Mary. As a fan of all things horror-related (something my husband strongly dislikes about me!), I like to add a few creepy touches to my ordinary autumn decor. But in my house, the Halloween items don’t stay out for long…because who wants to look […]
Designing Basic Tag Shapes in Silhouette Studio

Welcome Autumn Framed Art using the Free Shape of the Week
Happy first day of Autumn! Today I’m sharing a quick and simple framed art piece using the (very timely) free shape of the week and lots of layers of smooth and flocked heat transfer material.
