I was on vacation last week and didn't post anything! But my husband and I came back and tackled o
our half bath. I painted and he put in beadboard and chair rail - he's the best! Then I spent the weekend making samplers to hang on the walls. It was a lot of fun and took a lot of thinking to come up with so many different squares and rectangles! I recycled picture frames that were hanging in the room already - repainted them white.
I used the Sailing Home Bundle and the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! I just love the Night of Navy paper. I think it's the paper I use the most! Other than Whisper White, which is also a staple in my crafting. Mossy Meadow ink and paper worked wonderfully for the seaweed. I used the stamps from the June Paper Pumpkin for the sand dollars and the starfish. To brighten things up I used Balmy Blue paper, Terracotta Tile ink and Merry Merlot ink. Crumb Cake and Early Expresso papers worked beautifully for the die cut rope and the ship's wheel.
I cut out scriptures using different dies: Sticthed Seasons Framelits dies which is currently on clearance, Layering Circles Dies and Stitched Shapes Dies. I used the large letters dies, but they are retired. Stampin' Up has great alternatives to them! The Hand-Lettered Pros Dies and the Layering Alphabet Dies. If you love these like I do you can order with the host code on the left side of the page.
The base size for the rectangles - 6 1/4x3" and the squares - 3x3". I love making samplers! I've made 3 for baby gifts in the past and another one to have on hand if I need a quick gift.
