Cabinet Door Sample to Sign

Enter my Summer Giveaway Click Here!

When we were building our home I was given a couple door samples to help in my decising making process.  So I happen to have a couple samples laying around.  My Brother and Sis in Law just celebrated their 2nd Anniversary.  

Yeah!

Woo Hoo! 

We had to pay a lot for her to marry him I am so glad it is working out. 

Just kidding! 

She really does love him!

I wanted to make them a sign and could really never figure out my Pazzles machine so I gave up on the idea of anything vinyl.

This is what I did.

It took me a few tries on some different papers.  I wanted just the right color for the Kennedy and I also wanted the paper to look similar to the door.

I ended up using the one in the middle.  I just printed it out cut it to size and Mod Podged it on! 
Simple, Quick & Beautiful!

The finished project.

(forgot to take a photo w/o the ribbon sorry)

I was really loving how it turned out.  I did not even have to use a fancy machine or spend lots.  They thought it was great too!

Try this craft out even in a frame it will look great!

Have you done an easy project lately?

I am not organized!  I did attempted a menu plan sort of last week and it worked out okay.  I shopped using the list of things I needed and that was nice instead of my usual, "oh that looks like a good price" then throwing it in the cart.  Amazingly I spent less than usual.

So here it is for this week.

Monday - Chicken Cutlets 

Tuesday - Easy Chicken Floutas

Wednesday - Pork Fried Rice 

Thursday - Frittata (Bought a Pan that can go in the oven just for this recipe)

Thank You all so much for your votes on my Signature.  You are so kind to even take the time to comment.  As you can see I have changed my signature once again!  I decided to make a header and ended up with one that matched neither my signature or my button. I really like this one and Let me know what you think of my new button and Header!  Again I used the Cutest Blog on the Block to get the signature installed.  Keep watch for my cute little summer giveaway coming soon!
