Aren't these fantastic? I remember that my mom had silhouettes of us (my sister, my brother, and I) hanging in our family room when we were growing up. I love this!
I used Love, Elsie papers, and I did some detail cutting. The black mats were cut on my Expression. I added a quote to each page, and the titles are vinyl thickers. I also added some Primas and rhinestone brads. I JUST LOVE THESE!
To get the silhouette, I had the girls stand against a white door, and I took a photo of their profile. I uploaded them to my computer, inserted them into a Word document, printed them in grayscale, and then adhered them with removable adhesive to black cardstock. I then just hand cut the profiles, and then removed the photos and the adhesive. It was so EASY!
I LOVE THESE! Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!

Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to thank you for your recent message on my "bee" card! I have never considered trying out for any DT and no one has ever encouraged me to do so. Do you really think I would have a chance? I value your opinion and I sure appreciate the encouragement.
Love ya, Glee
Scraplift heeheehee! LOVE these madly! The Love Elsie papers are a perfect choice fun, modern & pretty with the traditional silhouettes. What a gorgeous keepsake! :0)

I love the silhouette idea, I may have to do this.. :)
ReplyDeleteWell the new car is a Chrysler Aspen, I guess I forgot to mention that.. haha
I also saw the Halloween stuff out. What the heck??? geesh, they don't even let us get through one thing without anticipating the next three things. What a shame! I went to Target too and wasn't happy with the selection, they said all the new school clothes come out next week! ugh...
how cool is this? great job.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love how these turned out and I need to give it a try :)
