I made ornaments using silhouettes of my grandsons to hang in picture frame ornaments. I took a side picture of children, then removed the background of the picture using my iPad photo editing. You can then adjust the images brightness and contrast to make the image completely dark. I then printed it out and framed them. No cutting or coloring needed so it was very easy. I love your projects.
@ I have really got to get it together and set up a staging area or something in my apartment to take my reveal pics/videos! I keep taking my everyday decor off the wall to hang up or set up my projects! It’s such a mess! Goal for 2025!!😝😝
Love the Silhouette project. My grandmother did this for my cousin, my brother and myself. I miss her so much. She was my best friend. ❤ She went to a professional as well. She also had a bunch of woodland animals like that too.
Thanks! I love the look of the silhouettes too. It’s an optical illusion. 🤣We are mid construction on the bathroom and our daughter’s family moved out so there is stuff everywhere.
@ I am sure there are some parts you will miss not having your daughter's family there but I am sure it will be nice to reclaim your space❤️ Here's to new beginning in 2025
Love the ‘picture’ you created. That piece of wood was a real find! So many things it could be used for and the way you used it is so unique. Thanks. Enjoyed!
I remember when o was in elementary school that we did the silhouette thing for a parent gift! I think it was first grade! I need to do this with some pics of my daughters when they were little!❤❤ I just love this! And oh my goodness the project of the printed picture on that gray wood is BEAUTIFUL! How imaginative!! You give me so much inspiration!
OK, my favorite today is the decoupage of that print that you did. That’s absolutely stunning. Great job love your home. It’s very rustic vintage cool love it. As always thank you so much for sharing your talents. Happy new year.😊😊
I have 4 grandsons, two from each of my kids. My son's twins, they also decided not to put their pictures on the internet. I remember doing these silhouettes at school with the projector. I've been wanting to make something similar for all four grandbabies.
I have never seen the cursor print. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤬🤬 That would have made me so mad, I don’t even understand why it would have printed like that. Beautiful projects, yet again. I love your unique style, it comes out in your projects. I have a roll of paper that I have had since my oldest son was a small child, he is 33, now, and we used to do his silhouette on that. I can’t believe I still have that roll of paper, I can’t even remember if someone gave it to me, or if I picked it up at a thrift store or yard sale. 😂 I was cleaning out my craft room recently and found it, and the first thing I thought was “silhouettes of my children.”
Thanks so much! (we bought the ugly foreclosure in the nicest town) and it’s so much fun fixing it up. We are doing the bathroom over this month. Stay tuned. 😊
Hi Cheryl! Happy New Year! Great DIYs! Love the idea of silhouettes. So vintage and beautiful. Have a blessed week. - Kristin
Thanks so much, Kristin! Happy New Year!

I love your projects.
Thanks! That is a great idea for using the silhouettes! If I can figure out how to remove background (my kids will know 🤣)
@ it took me awhile to get it figured out but I finally did it.
Love them all. I’ll try the silhouette for sure. I’ve always wanted to try it.
Awesome. Thanks
Lovely, Cheryl!! I especially love the decoupage piece! Your home looks so cozy! Beautiful, gf!! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much, Monica. I hope you have a wonderful new year.
I love the projects you created! Your house looks so wintery and beautiful!
Thank you! We’ve been redoing the house and just gutted the bathroom and it’s a huge job, but it will be great once it’s done.
Your house is absolutely gorgeous! You are one amazing decorator! 🤍❄️⛄️🤍
Thank you, I have been decorating for a long time! 🤣. Staging is my favorite part.

I showed a gorgeous tablescape in a video last year and then I said “okay now for reality” and showed the other half of the table loaded with crap. 🤣
Love the Silhouette project. My grandmother did this for my cousin, my brother and myself. I miss her so much. She was my best friend. ❤ She went to a professional as well. She also had a bunch of woodland animals like that too.
That's so sweet! It’s hard to lose such a precious person.
Great projects Cherly! I really like your idea to create a yearly silhouette. Your home looks beautiful❤
Happy new year, Cheryl!
I love the silhouette idea!! ❤
Thanks! I love the look of the silhouettes too. It’s an optical illusion. 🤣We are mid construction on the bathroom and our daughter’s family moved out so there is stuff everywhere.

I see them very often as they are in the next town so that’s a blessing. Yes, little by little, inch by inch.
Love the ‘picture’ you created. That piece of wood was a real find! So many things it could be used for and the way you used it is so unique. Thanks. Enjoyed!
Thanks, Sarah. I can reuse it in future too if I sand it.
Beautiful pieces, Cheryl. Your home looks warm and cozy for winter

I love the decoupage print of your painting. My kids school used to do their profiles on a large scale every year in elementary school. TFS
That is so sweet, it is a great way to save memories.

Haha. Love the silhouettes! My son is 36 I get it.
Your house is beautiful. ❤😮

Lol - I didn't even notice the cursors until you mentioned it. Next time just add a printed little bird over the tree cursor. 😂🤗🐦
Good idea!
I like your projects
Thanks, Roberta. Happy new year.
