Blog Swap with Lil’ Luna

Today I am so excited to introduce Kristyn of Lil’ Luna. You have probably already seen her crafts around. She has been featured all over the place recently and she is even a finalist on the DIY Club Inc. You can hurry over and vote for her Family Forever Board! It is number 7 down on the voting.
Okay, take it away Kristyn.

I’m so glad that I can be guest blogging on Cute as a Fox! Not only has Ashley been my inspiration for numerous crafts, but she also has been more than willing to help me with the setup of my blog. 

Thanks, Ashley!
 
I knew exactly what I wanted to show all of you today for the swap. I’ve been seeing SILHOUETTES all over the place and knew I wanted to do something fun with them, and this is what I did.
 
SUPPLIES:
-Profile pics of your kiddos
  
-Black Cardstock or Vinyl
  
-Scrapbook Paper
  
– 8×10 Frames (1 for each child, or if you have several children, use 5×7 frames)
  
-Wood
  
-Mod Podge
  
-Tulle/Ribbon
  
-Hot Glue
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
 
1. Begin by taking profile pics of your kids. Print these off from your computer and cut out their profile.

2. Trace the profile onto black cardstock paper making sure that the profiles are the same direction for each kid. Cut those out. Set aside.
 
3. Paint your frames and piece of wood if they are not the color you already want them. I found my frames at Hobby Lobby for $2.50, and the wood was a scrap from the garage. Let dry and distress when dry.
 
4. Cut out 8×10 pieces from scrapbook paper, and print onto the bottom the name of your child or you could use Vinyl. 
 
5.  Also print onto the scrapbook paper going onto the wood the phrase: “Some of God’s Greatest Gifts…” (or you can use vinyl again). Mod podge scrapbook paper to the wood and let dry.
 
6. Glue your silhouette to the scrapbook paper.
 
7. Before inserting the scrapbook paper into the frame, be sure to add the ribbon to the backs of the frame and the wood with hot glue or staple gun.
 
8. Insert pics and hang. I hung mine on a Hanging Rod I got at Target.
 
Voila!
 
A super cute display of your children and a reminder of the blessings they are in our lives.
 
I thought it would be fun to also do a giveaway with this swap.
