French Script

April 04, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I haven't had much time this week for any projects (boo hoo!), so I'm sharing some quick tags I made last week using my Cricut: I love this French script image that I purchased off of Etsy (Graphique.etsy.com) and I love how it looks on this Fleur de Lis. I use #80 cardstock so it's a bit thicker than the regular #60 found in most craft stores.  I finished them up with some tea-stained seam...

Home Goods Makeover After

Right now she's sitting in...

White Wednesday

March 27, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
It's my favorite time of the week: White Wednesday (even if it is only Tuesday)!  This tray was a garage sale find from last year and since I left it out over the summer, it got a little, um, dirty.  So over the weekend I gave it a fresh coat of white paint: Since I'm keeping it indoors this year, I wanted to give it a Frenchy touch, so I printed out this great image...
