WORD PLATES!


Here is a great idea for little silver plates......just apply a word to the front and stand it up on a little easel for some easy Christmas cheer.

I was inspired to create these little word plates after finding a bag full of easels
at the thrift store.  A little added bling takes them up a notch.


Have a happy weekend everyone!!  One of my boys reminded me today that there are only 14 days until Christmas.................EEK!!!......HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!!??!!

    Janis,
    I really love your word silver! Do you use those pre-cut vinyl letters, or do your own? So original. And I agree....13 DAYS!!!!OMG. I still have so much to do. Lisa

    Hello, dear friend.
    I bought one of these word plates at Carrie's open house. It is sitting in my kitchen.
    Maybe we should do a post Christmas coffee, I am sure you are just as busy this time of year as I am. Still hoping to get together....

    I'm with the others ~ you always find the most amazing silver! Your extra bling dresses it up and the elegant words finish it off like the perfect accessory. Just beautiful!

    Hi cute Janis, I don't get over here enough. Love your silver, love love love the black words. Do you make your lettering? Very Classy. I will collect silver trays this year and then I can do it next year.

    I'm crazy with projects but I didn't want to forget to wish you Merry Christmas. Have a very special holliday.

    Love cindy@stitches
