Lettering

You will LOVE this lettering! There is so much you can do to personalize it. Colored/patterned paper and fabrics, Lifestyle and Patterns can be displayed.

This was lettering I did for my son. He was born in Atlanta Georgia so we kept the local newspaper  from his DOB to use for this purpose. The other ideas for this that may be featured later: lettering in funny papers, black and white or colored Sunday funnies. :) I did a Map of where a child was born.

As you can see below, I usually mix patterns but can definately do all lettering in the same pattern. $7.00 per letter.

I get my lettering from Hobby Lobby usually. 

Lettering
paper or scrapbook paper
modpodge
toll paint for edges

1. put mod podge on the front of lettering
2. place paper on the lettering in the direction you desire. Smooth it over with your finger, taking care to rub edges down.
3. use xacto knife to cut paper off from letter.
4. paint edges matching color to paper
5. Mod Podge the top of the paper and on the sides.

ALL PROCEEDS BENIFIT OUR NEXT ADOPTION EFFORTS :) THANK YOU!

I decided to name my crafts "Mulholland Drive" after the street I lived on as a young girl. My memories of those days are simple and fun and full of imagination. This inspired me as it was the first memories I have. Hopefully you will appreciate the simple, fun and imaginative Gifts and Crafts I make inspired by those times. No matter what, I love what I do and hope you do to.
I had a very active imagination being 5th of 11 children. We were encouraged to be independant and creative and with so many kids, there were plenty of opporunities to sneek off to day dream! ;) I love to make and create and can't seem to stop myself from doing it! Full-time, I am a successful Hairstylist, Wife and new Mommy but apparently I'm not busy enough because I love to find things I love and improve on them, putting my own stamp on it. This blog is a place to display all I do so hopefully you will enjoy it also. I am constantly creating so check back often. I love to hear what you have to say about what I do so leave a comment or two... :)
