Nuts For You!

I couldn't resist showing you this adorable little acorn I made this week! Have you checked out Say It With Letters?? They have the most incredible selection of alterable shapes and letters all cut from 1/2" MDF - all ready for you to create!! I just love them!

The owner, Deb is super sweet (plus she's in NH - I love supporting New England businesses!!) and will customize the sizes for you if you want something different - up to 48"!!! For instance, this acorn is listed at 8 inches, but I wanted it slightly smaller so I ordered it in 6 inches - no problem! They have keyholes drilled on the back so you just alter it any way you want and you're done!

I have several of these shapes to show you in the future - I've had this acorn for a year and just now finally got it altered! When the Kitchen Sink Stamps 3 Step Autumn Squirrel set came out I realized that it was the perfect image for my little acorn! He's just so cute, isn't he?! By using the Pearlescent Beige Brilliance ink for the base layer her looks almost fuzzy. Paired up with some fun fun October Afternoon paper - love it!! (Sorry for the jar in the picture - it needed to be propped up a bit!). I kept thinking this needed just a little something else but I didn't want to cover up the cute paper . . . what do you think?

Go check out Deb's Etsy store and order some fun shapes - you'll love them!! We have a busy day ahead - have a great weekend everyone!! :)
