How to Make and Use a Stencil Using Cricut Expression
My family and many of my friends know how much I adore French inspired creations and design. The flourish of the curly-cues and curves are so appealing. An image of the Eiffel Tower in any form sets my imagination into high gear. It will come as no surprise to people who know me well that when I feel the desire to get creative, it is often with a French flair. So, when pondering what to make for Joanne, a dear friend of mine, I designed the stenciled pillow covers shown in this post. I constructed the pillow cover/shams myself from a twin sized white cotton sheet and embellished the opening edges with black grosgrain ribbon before sewing the side seam together. If you prefer not to sew your own, you can purchase a pair and begin from there. This image could be reduced a little in size and applied to hand towels, etc. My Cricut Expression was used to make the stencil for the design and the cartridge used was Storybook.

Please forgive me for not stopping by sooner....
Truth be told, I have been a bit under the weather. My IBS S&S have kicked in so I have been home from work all week. I have been able to get a few things done but I have been moving slowly....
THANKS so much for all your sweet comments!! They truly do brighten my days!
I am thrilled with the new TV in the Den. I do need new glasses and an eye exam but I know the larger V just will help with my aging vision,,,,,
We do have a 32 inch upstairs in the bedroom....
I decided not to decorate for V Day as this point because I do not want to rush around doing it and I do not feel like luging all that down from the attic.....We have had temps. around zero so the thought of going up in that freezing attic and just opening that attic door and leaving all that cold air come down into the bedroom is something that just does not need to be done....
So I used what I had lying around to create the Winter Tree for the Living Room and I am so pleased with how it came out!! It truly does brighten the Living Room in the dead of the Winter!!
We are now supposed to get 10+ inches of snow on Sunday into Monday!! I am off on Sunday night but will have to go into work on Monday night.....
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!!
Hugs,
Deb
