How big Am I ?

I made a few of these as birthday gifts, they are so fun and so easy to make!! I just used a 1x6 - they are pretty cheap at home depot or lowes. I just painted it and printed out the vinyl lettering for the numbers and lettering on the top. I used scrap book paper and some buttons to make the numbers stand out. Then I sanded and stained it - and added some cute stars from Roberts. The inch marks I painted on but you can also just use a sharpie - which is way easier. Then I hung it with craft wire and tied some tulle and ribbon on. Way easy!! I love them and can't wait for more birthdays so I can make some more:)

    Lyndsey, I have a few suggestions for your blog if you are looking to improve it. To make it more searchable and easier for people to find (and refer other) people to your blog, you might want to make labels. I would have directed my viewers to your "wood" crafts if you had a label for your wood projects. Also, get a counter and analytics (sitemeter is a good one) if you don't have those already. you are off to a good start on a blog. Love your wood projects!!!

    Thank you for being so sweet to let me know your font. Would you mind telling me what cartridge it is on. The font is SOOOO sweet, and I would love to buy it, but having no luck finding it on Cricut.com. BTW...I am a new follower of yours:)

    DO you know anyone who sells the vinyl lettering to make this? I don't live in Utah and don't have access to local vendors. THanks, Michelle

    I do all my vinyl on my Cricut - I know that there are several people who produce the vinyl for retail. I can refer you to iasign.com she does a lot of really cute stuff. Hope that helps!!!
