Thought I’d share with you my very first completed commissioned piece and send out
congratulations to Andrew & Lauren as they were married this past weekend!

Andrew & Lauren, I wish you joy as you embark on this new adventure together.

I am now offering my paper cuts in color!

I’ve discovered that French Paper has a delicious selection of vibrant, yummy colors in their Pop*Tone line. When I saw the colors, I knew they were just want I had been looking for.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! I enjoyed yummy quesadillas and margaritas with my man, and finally got around to painting my kitchen! I am SO CLOSE to being done with that room! (Have I mentioned how sick of remodeling this house I am??  I just want to be done!)

This is what I’ve been working on over the last month when I wasn’t building toddler beds, scraping doors or celebrating an anniversary! I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I’m also happy to announce that I’m going to start cutting personalized fingerprints just for YOU! Each piece will be hand-cut by me, using your very own, unique fingerprint. Just as no two fingerprints are the same, no two paper cuttings will be the same either!!

Fingerprint paper cuttings are perfect for commemorating the addition of a new child or as a special keepsake to celebrate your wedding or anniversary! They also make a unique alternative to the traditional family portrait.

I look forward to creating a unique paper cutting, just for you!!

I tried something new tonight. About 2 nights ago I had this idea. . . and then forgot about it. But luckily I remembered again later the next day and quickly set to work figuring out the preliminary steps—how to get the clearest possible fingerprint. Turns out the best method consists of scribbling on paper with a pencil and packing tape.

Tonight I finished the tricky part.

Cutting the design out with an X-acto knife.

That’s my fingerprint!!!

I’ve got a few more things planned. I think they would be great to do for a wedding. Do both the bride and the groom on the sheet of paper. Or you could do a family “portrait” with a series of them. And kids would love the fingerprinting process! And to see your fingerprint blown up like that is really quite cool! Never realized my fingertip had wrinkles!

I’m just a little excited about them and my other ideas of what else I could do with them, but too excited to wait and work that all out before I show you the very first one!!

So, what do you think???
