I love to decorate my home for each season. This time of year it's a celebration of L-O-V-E! I used some Queen song lyrics (a song from our wedding) to make a simple, graphic piece of art for our bedroom. Would you like to play along?
1. You will need: Vinyl letters (I used 3 inch), a large canvas (mine was appx. 4 feet tall) and craft paint. 2. Choose the lyrics you want to spell out and cut out those letters. Experiment with the way you want to group your words. 3. Draw a heart outline with a pencil or marker. Next, adhere your letters to the center of the heart. 4. Paint the outside of the heart first to get a clean edge and cover any pencil lines. (oops… I put my S upside down… oh well!) 5-7. Paint 2-3 coats of paint over your heart. Allow it to dry between each coat. 8. When paint is completely dry peel off the letters to reveal your pretty song lyrics!

This is beautiful
Is a puppy allowed to be that cute? Isn’t there some sort of law against it? I made one of your projects for the first time last night and, although not looking as professional as yours, I was really pleased with the result. I’ll be posting a photo later tonight so you can check it out!
It was part of a craft night a friend held and I’m hosting the next one; I wondered if you had any ideas for glass/ ceramic painting? Rx

P.S I am really sorry, I accidently sent my comment for the curious prints giveaway twice, thinking that my comment hadn’t posted, hope that doesn’t mean I am out of the running for the giveaway!
LoOove, lOoOVE!
Love both, your painting and your puppy. 🙂

That’s such a great idea, and so doable! Love your puppers, he’s a doll.

Oh my god.. your puppy.. kills me. Dead. I have a silver dapple mini-doxen, too. His name is tiger and your pup reminds me so much of him as a baby.
In a shop you would pay for that kind of painting a lot of more money than you spend on creating this – and that’s why I like creating something by myself 😀
Nice concept and cute puppy 🙂

This may be a stupid question, but where can one find Vinyl letters? I want to make this as a mothers day gift for my mom but I don’t where to find the letters. Could they be found in a craft store, Walmart, or even a fabric store?
Very creative creation. I hope someone will also do that for me. And of course maybe I’ll try to do it for myself.
I love these projects with the vinyl letters!
I like that light/ribbon bar !!
I love this! !
OMG, you are awesome! I have spent the better part of the day reading your blog, it has kept me captivated! Is there any way I can follow this site?
Thanks for the wonderful ideas!
im in canada, do you know where i can find the Vinyl letters, local art stores or maybe dollar stores?
How ironic that Hogan relaly didn’t have a swing coach looking at his form everyday, ( unlike tiger w/ foley or Phil w/Butch And they still spray 50yd pulls pushes.You NEVER saw Hogan spray it like they do Hogan peaked in his 40 s!!!
cmeandwatch Posted on @SWEETloveer01 this is not a Hindu wedding realdrgess of what you say a Hindu wedding is when we take 7 rounds around the sacred fire which promised 7 things also promises the next 7 lives together we dont take vows by telling we take our vows by the 7 promises in a Sikh wedding they take 4 rounds bt instead of a sacred fire there is the Guru Granth Sahib ..this is based on a Christian wedding not Hindu wedding
that we simply seek the Master scluotpr who created all that beauty.Is the New Age movement still hot? It seems to be much less hot since the world decided not to end on 1/1/2000, but then again I’m probably out of the loop. I just remember reading about some of the New Age meccas out in Sedona and I think that’s where Maurice Strong built his gargantuan mecca to himself. Anyhoo, looking forward to your second installment!Maryanne
How beautiful!!! xxDani
