Love Story Sign

I made this awesome sign for my sister and brother in law! I love how it turned out. I used vinyl cut out from my Silhouette machine. I put it on a board that I got from hobby lobby that I painted blue then I sanded the edges. I also applied Mod Podge over the top to make sure the vinyl stayed in place. 

Here is a picture my silhouette file: 

And the final project with Brendan and Rachel...

Tilapia and Shrimp with Pasta

 Ingredients:

- Chipotle and Roasted Garlic seasoning

- 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) 

Directions: 
- Season fish and shrimp in bowl with seasonings (I didn't measure, I just put a little of everything in the bowl)
- Melt butter in cast iron pan and add tilapia (I did my tilapia and shrimp together and the tilapia took longer to cook - so I would recommend adding the shrimp a few minutes later)

- Add shrimp - cook slightly and then put the pan in the oven
- Cook both the tilapia and shrimp at 375 for 10-15 minutes, until fish is flacky. If shrimp gets done first take it out then put the fish back in the oven.

Baby Stat's on Canvas

I made this cute sign for my friend to hang in her new son's room. I think it turned out super cute! I used my Silhouette to cut out the vinyl and then applied it to the brown canvas I painted. I used an 8x10 canvas from Hobby Lobby with brown acyclic paint.

 Here is my vinyl on transfer paper ready to put onto canvas. 

*tip: if your vinyl is having a hard time sticking to the canvas, use a hair dryer to heat it.
