From thrift store painting to menu board

When I bought this painting at the thrift store, I actually intended for it to be a sign for my porch. But then when I was spring cleaning my kitchen, I decided it would make a great menu board.. I had primed the entire thing off white when it was meant as a sign, but that just made it easier to make it a chalkboard. I used raft paint on the frame, a deep dark red. When I sprayed on the chalkboard paint some of the overspray got on the frame - I rubbed it on and added a bit more black craft paint giving it that sort of crafty antiqued look.

I'm really surprised by how much my family loves this. They all really like knowing what is for dinner each night. Especially my husband!

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts. For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or (). I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here. If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos. MF I Love Glitter Smell The Roses Shorelines Stea klcupid Daddy's Girl Beauty & The Beast Ribbons & Banners LillyBelle ...

What Do I Need To Get Started With A New Cricut?

Which Cricut Should I Buy? I use the Cricut Air 2. The Maker, which is the model newer than the Air 2, will also cut light wood, and fabric without bonding attached. (the air 2 will cut fabric if you use an iron on bonding material on it) That was the only real difference I know of, and I don't need to cut light wood, so I went with the Air 2. I probably would have been fine with the Air. I think, from what I have heard discussed on facebook groups, the only real difference is the speed - the Air 2 cuts faster. Cricut has a comparison of all of their current models here: https://help.cricut.com/help/cricut-explore-difference What Else Do I Need ? 1. Facebook groups and Youtube. Because the Cricut does not come with ANY instructions. Nada. There is one sample project included - a simple card. And it's amazing to see the machine make it. But when it's done... You will need to search out what you want to learn....
