Football Sign

One of my favorite things about fall is that it's football season! I decided to make a faith and football sign so anyone who walks into our home knows where our loyalties lie.

For those who aren't football fans, the Green Bay Packer's colors are green and gold, but their throwback uniform colors are navy and gold. I made one sign in the standard colors for my son's teacher (who happens to be a big Packer's fan too) and one in the throwback colors for our house, since the blue goes better in my living room.

Despite the different colors, I created both signs the same way. I painted the wood with yellow paint. I used my  Silhouette Cameo to cut the words I wanted from SRM Vinyl (the color of the vinyl doesn't matter). I used SRM transfer tape to place the letters on my painted board. Then, I painted the entire thing again, but in blue (or green) this time. When the paint had dried, I removed the vinyl and sanded the edges a bit to allow some of the yellow to pop through on the edges.

 Do you love football season? What team would be on your football sign?

Quick Fall Wall Art

I have a really simple and quick fall wall art piece to share today.  I stumbled across a frame I really liked and thought it would be perfect for switching out seasonal printables. 

I started by finding a fall printable I liked in the Silhouette store.  Then I made a few changes to to the print to make it fit better in my home. 

First, some of the leaves were a yellowish orange color.  I changed those to blue to fit better with the color scheme in my house.  It was as simple as ungrouping the print, clicking on each image I wanted to change, and then changing the fill color. 

I also changed a few of the words.  It originally said "hay rides" where it says "football & corn maze".  I don't think I've taken a hay ride since I was a kid, so I updated the words to something more relevant.  I kept the original font and color, and just change the words and added a little leaf to separate them.
When I was done with my changes, I just printed it out on a piece of patterned paper (that looks like wood grain).  In all this took about 10 minutes, and adds a lot of fun fall flavor to my decor.
