This picture frame is the result of a fun filled craft night at Carlie's mom Louise's house. Carlie is my friend Jenny's sister in law. (Whew, there's a chain for you to follow!) I am SO happy with how this turned out! The scripture is from John 14:27. (Amidst all the crazy Cricut activity I forgot to cut out the reference, I may or may not add it later.)
When I was in YW one of my advisors (wish I could remember which so I could thank her...) gave us a little printed handout one Sunday with this scripture on it. It was taped to the wall in my bedroom next to my lightswitch while I was a teenager, where I read it multiple times a day for years... (people like young women leaders will never know the full scope of the positive impact they can have!) Anyway, it definitely became my favorite scripture, and I've been trying to find some way to display it for a while now with no success, so I am excited to have this done!
You may not be impressed, but if you understand and accommodate for my lack of vision and artistic talent then you will be! Everything is just vinyl lettering and designs from the Cricut that I transferred to the frame. Easy in theory, but again, lack of crafting talent means it took me a while!! (In fact it took me the WHOLE NIGHT to figure out fonts and text sizes so I could cut everything out, and I had to bring it all home and finish it on my own!)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Louise!! I could not have done this without your help and generous sharing of your supplies! It truly means so much to me to have this! I love how it turned out!

Emily! I love it! You are one crafty woman. It turned out beautiful. Wonderful scripture that is so comforting. Great Work.
Emily- IT IS AMAZING!!! I'm so glad you came, this is beautiful- something you'll have in your home to be a gentle reminder. I love it!
That is so pretty, maybe we should have a craft night in the neighborhood and you could teach us how to make it!
so proud of you! I love it, and I'm quite jealous I want one of my own!!
WOW! It turned out so beautiful....I wish I could say I made something that beautiful that crafting night ....JUST kidding. It was a really fun night, just maybe not my kind of crafting. I'm not meticulous enough for picking out all those tiny little shapes. The food was glorious though, and it was really fun to be together and see what everyone was making. (Next time I think I'll make some cards or something)
Emily, I am so glad you came and were able to turn this simple frame to a meaningful reminder in your home. It is the reason I have invested in my craft room, to bring together family and friends, have a good time and enjoy each others spirits. You are welcome anytime.
This is so pretty! My mother-in-law gave me a cricut my first Christmas in the family--I just might need to buy some vinyl now :)
