Candy Buffet Sign...

Time to start working on all those DIY projects.  We have two weeks & I'm super busy.  Here's the sign I made for our candy table.  I started with a 12x12 piece of MDF.  The people at Lowes are nice & cut it down for me.  Also need a plate holder. I stole this one from my parents house.

I bought a can of black spray paint that I am also using on the cupcake stand (still in progress, post to come later).  I painted the MDF with some black acrylic paint I had on hand.  The plastic plate holder was painted black with spray paint.

I used my Cricut to cut out the letters & Mod Podge to glue them to the MDF.  The final result looks like this:

Cricut- My New Best Friend

My mom was nice enough to buy me a Cricut Expression for Christmas. I always wanted one for my scrapbooking (twin 3 yr old boys) & she's always wanted me to have one for her quilting.

Well when she purchased the Cricut, we had no idea about the engagement. Now that I have it, I'm completely in love with it. I've already used the cricut to create these cute home decor items:

Now I will be using the Cricut to create wedding invitations, labels, and misc. wedding signs/decor (not to mention scrapbooking if I ever find the time). It's probably the best investment this year... Ok, well the dress was a pretty good one too...
