Block Project/Plate Project

I was inspire to make this cute little 'sassy girl' block from some blocks I had seen at It's A Sign blog. I love the pictures she decoupaged on hers but I decided not to with mine to make it more generic. I actually made one of these blocks for my granddaughters birthday next week that was more personalized (I can't post a picture of it because she might see it on her mommy's blog). I was happy with how they both turned out. Another side of it.
And yet another side.
And finally...you got it, another side, well the top and side anyway.
The Valentine plate {shown on a plate rack with another Valentine plate in my header} was super easy to make. I found this plate at Ross, it is important to find a plate with cutouts around the edge so you can weave ribbon in and out. I cut a red vinyl heart with 'be my Valentine' on it with my vinyl cutter.
A close up of the edge of the plate.
The finished plate.
