One of the great things about making decorations for your home is that you can personalize them to fit your family. A few months ago I found the inspiration for this project on the Dali Decals website.

As soon as I saw this idea I knew I would be making a spot for it in my home. The only problem was I wanted it to be more "us", so I asked my kids and husband for their input on what it should say. Between the 3 of them they came up with LEGOS, cupcakes, and dancing.
I decided to place our saying on a 20"x30" picture frame, because we haven't painted our family room yet and I didn't want to have to remove it when we do paint.
Using the Silhouette Studio program that came with my Silhouette, I began experimenting with different fonts.
Once I had settled on fonts and what I wanted it to say, I used my Silhouette to cut the vinyl to apply to my picture frame.
This was my very first project I had ever done with my Silhouette, and to my delight applying the vinyl to the picture frame glass was surprisingly easy. I have now used it for so many projects around my house I couldn't even begin to count them.
After I had applied all the vinyl to the glass, I used 6 pieces of cardstock taped together to make the background. When you choose your cardstock, make sure pick a pattern that can be matched up. This will make your seams less visible.
This is a fun piece of "art" for your home that can be personalized for any family, and made to match any decor. If you make your own version I would love to see it!
