Glass Blocks

I put etching cream all over the entire block.

I used vinyl cut outs on the fronts of the blocks. Then added a ribbon on top. This is such as easy project. It is a little costly yo make it but I love how they came out. I got the block, stand, and light at Hobby Lobby.

Any questions or comments are loved! Thanks for stopping by.

Mother's Day Blog Hop

Welcome to our Mother's Day blog hop. We are making some great projects that will hopefully inspire you to make some beautiful crafts for whoever you cherish on Mother's Day. We have some great projects lined up for you today. Make sure you check out all the blogs to see all the wonderful projects. AND don't forget the blog candy below.

I am making my MIL a glass block. This is my first time to try this. I added etching cream all over the whole block then cut a white vinyl M and swirl and added them to the front.
Here is what it looks like at night. The block will be on a stand when its all done. I am not sure I like the one solid light. I am probably going to change it to the small strand of Xmas lights.

I like the vinyl one better I think so I am probably going to add a vinyl M to the other one in a different color.
Of course I made a card to go with it. I can not add my mom's gift on here yet since she looks on here :)

I also made some cards for the ladies at my hubby's work. I hope they like them. They are my biggest customers :)

I made several in spanish. There are closer pictures at the bottom of this post.

Now for the blog candy! There are several things up for grabs today. Our sponsor is Kich N Bleus! They are offer a wonderful set of digital stamps for one luck person today! They have a great spring collection that is $7.99 but for one lucky winner it will be free!
