More Silhouette Projects with Wendy Sue!

Design team member Wendy Sue Anderson created the perfect home decor project just in time for the holidays using Pebbles for Silhouette images and the Welcome Christmas collection.  Here's what Wendy had to say ... "I’m already getting excited to pull out my Christmas decorations, but my family thinks I should wait until after Thanksgiving … so I decided to make a little holiday project, just to satisify my holiday “itch.” :)   I found this little frame in my stash of alterables and I knew it would be perfect for a little Christmas project!  I love the simple Christmas tree shape from the Silhouette store, so I decided to use those for my project.  I cut it out several different times, in several different sizes, from a handful of different papers.  Again, I love how versatile one little shape can be – well worth the 99 cent investment!  After cutting out several trees, I decorated them with various embellishments.  I used foam squares to add dimension to a few of the trees too.  After the trees were complete, I added some fun elements to the frame and now it’s sitting on my sofa table – mixed right in with my Thanksgiving decorations!"

Here's what Wendy had to say about her next project ... "I’ve never really been a huge fan of pastel pink and blue for babies.  I don’t know why … but it’s the truth.  I decided to use some primary colors to create a set of baby cards to have on hand.  The elephant shape is from the baby collections, but I used papers from the Fresh Goods collection for a fun twist.  I love being able to take one shape and cut it out in the size I want, and from the paper I want.  This one elephant shape could be used in so many different ways, I’m already thinking of more projects I can make with him!"
