Busy but Vacation is in my near future!

I have had no time to be too crafty lately. We bought a '74 Shasta camper which is very cute BUT it needed alot more work then we expected so we are down to the wire working on it. Going camping 1 week from today. And to make matters worse my husband started a job in New Jersey for a couple months so he is gone Mon-Fri which leaves myself to do as much work as i can all week. He only has Saturday and Sunday to install the floor and a bunch of other stuff. So i run around all day to help him get it finished... Once it's done, I'll be happy. Today I'll actually be making Roman Shades for the camper. That's exciting because it's semi-crafty! :) I'll post pictures of the Roman Shades when i finish them... and I'll also post pictures of the camper once it's completely done. Can't wait for vacation. I need it!

At night i try to at least get 1 or 2 layouts done on my wedding album but sometimes I'm so tired, I can't think! :) Here is a layout I did the other day. Almost done with the album!

Again, Sorry for the bad quality... Camera phone again... I found my camera and it's charging but we went to the beach on Monday with my 2 sister in laws, 2 nephews, and new baby neice and I lent my memory card to my sister in law. Now, i have to find my other memory card, i believe it's my electronic photo frame. :o) Ahhh, the joys of moving! You lose everything.

I'll try to post photos of the roman shades later... And hopefully get a post or two in prior to vacation but if not, See you after July 10th... Going camping for July 1st to 5th then off to my in-laws Maine house on the lake the 5th to the 10th! Can't wait! 10 days of fun in the sun!! :o)

Hope everyone has a safe and happy July 4th weekend!

Glass Block Wedding Gift

I will be going to a wedding tomorrow for my husband's cousin Jaymie and her fiance Tim. I wanted to make them something special and have always wanted to try a glass block... I had so much fun making this and now I want to make one for my self! :)

I found a swirl heart design by doing a google search. I came across Wanda's Blog. She was nice enough to include a free download. I cut it out with vinyl using Sure Cuts Alot and my cricut. I used contact paper and transfered the vinyl to the glass block. I scratched at the vinyl to make sure it was fully stuck to the glass because i didn't want the Armour Etch to sneak underneath.

Once the vinyl was down all the way, i took armour etch and a brush and put a thick layer all over the front. The bottle says let it sit for 5 mins but i always let it sit longer. I believe it was almost an hour until i washed it off. On glasses i tried to etch when i first got Armour Etch I found that after 5 mins it's not that etched. If you let it sit longer, it gets a darker etch.

I washed off the Armour Etch and was ecstatic at how it came out. I got on Sure Cuts Alot and put their last name big and "Est 2010" on the bottom... i felt it needed a bit more so i added their first names on top, I think it added just the right touch. I then cut it out on Black Vinyl and transfered it with the contact paper onto the etched side of the glass... Some ribbon and lights and it looked great!


I couldn't be happier with my first glass block project! Hope you like it and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
