Holiday Home Décor Week “sELFie Block”
Holiday Home Décor Week “sELFie Block” A few weeks ago I was shopping and saw a pillow, It had a little elf hat and said sELFie on it. After I got home, the idea stuck with me. I got online to try and find this cute pillow again. I search all over the internet and nothing really turned up. I decided to create my own version of the Christmas sELFie! To make the sELFie block , I used images found on the silhouette site. I cut and layered vinyl on a block of wood that was painted cream. This was a simple 10 minute project.

Authentic Americana Block
Authentic Americana Block What’s more American than blue jeans? This next little project has the look and feel of a denim blue jean! I took a 2×4 block and painted it blue… then sanded the edges to give it a more rustic look. Then one night while sitting at Krystal’s we found this cute little design on Google images which led us to this Dribbble site. Of course Krystal worked her magic and came up with a version we could use on the blocks. This baby looks so cute up on my mantle!
