If you follow me on Facebook, you probably know that I got new toy recently…a Silhouette Cameo.

Isn’t it beautiful?!
Now, this was my first Silhouette so I was super excited to get it.  {Not that past Silhouette owners probably weren’t excited too.}  My first undertaking was some framed “art” to go above the table in my entry way.  Currently, we have some art from Crate and Barrel that I love but, with its bright blues, yellows and greens, it doesn’t really blend with the Christmas decorations. So, I decided to replace it with something a little more seasonal.

First, I picked some cheap frames during our Black Friday shopping.

Then, using the Cameo, I cut out the letters N-O-E-L {for Noel} from some glittery white scrapbook paper.

I currently have a set of 5 pictures on the wall so I knew I would need something else.  So, I cut out a Christmas tree from some green paper.

I layered the white letters on top of green textured scrapbook paper and then put them into frames.

For the Christmas tree, I used the outline instead of the entire tree.  Then, I layered that over white glitter paper that matched the letters and framed.

I put up the lower two frames but then had to enlist our very tall friend to help me with the others because Mathlete wasn’t home and I didn’t want to drag the ladder inside. {Laziness for the win!}
