I LOVE Christmas! I love making stuff for Christmas, I love shopping for it, I love all the activities leading up to Christmas. I love the smell of Summer in the air.
The other day when I posted the before shots of my entry a few of you asked what was hiding behind those frames, well here this is it.
I wanted to make something fun for the kids but also from my childhood memories. So I googled some images of my favourite carols and turned them into signs.
I basically followed this tutorial from House of Hepworths.
I did have a little bleeding in spite of mod podging the stencil on but I just took a tiny paint brush and carefully went over the bleeding.
DIY Delight or Disaster? I love these they came out exactly as I hoped they would. At $5 each I am thrilled, Delight! Except after I had taken the photos I noticed Mummy isn't quite level...Santa must be one great kisser!
I'm so excited Christmas is my favourite, favourite, FAVOURITE time of the year!
Thanks for reading,
Mel xo
I love these Mel they will look so great and I'm sure your kids will love them too. I'm thinking that I might need to do something like this next year. I'm pinning these for next year.
ReplyDeleteHow very creative, Mel! I like the "kissing Santa" sign ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute Mel! What an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these. I'm kind of obsessed with deers lately so the Rudolph one is my favorite. They are so bright and cheery. What a lovely job you did. I am sure they'll put a smile on your face every year you pull them out.
ReplyDeleteI share your excitement for Christmas and for the signs! Headed over to pin it, of course. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't said anything, nobody would have noticed Santa sweeping mummy off her feet! These are adorable. I'm with Amy, love deers!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love these Mel! Definitely a delight! I had to laugh at the"smell of summer" included in your things you love about the holidays! I'm always hoping for the smell of snow!
ReplyDeleteLove them! I can't tell mummy is floating, but if you say so... :)
ReplyDeleteYour signs are perfect Mel! I love the red and white. It really makes them pop!! Although if mommy keeps kissing Santa Claus, I think # 6 will be just around the corner...buhahahahahah
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute!! I love them!
ReplyDeleteLove them! They do bring back memories. Memories of a simpler time :-)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! Thanks for sharing. Love this inspiration...
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to imagine what it is like to have a summery Christmas. You must think the same thing about a wintery one. Love your signs, they're perfect for Christmas summer or winter :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! And I love that you wrote "mummy" instead of "mommy." I love you Aussies. :)
ReplyDelete-andi
Love these Mel - so Christmasy.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of Summer at Christmas time too and I was ridiculously happy that the Pohutukawa tree is starting to bloom really signalling Christmas!
