Always Have Faith

At work, our Assistant Director's last day is today. I've often mentioned and shown her my crafty side, and she's always been interested in what I do. A few weeks ago, we were taking about glass etching. I told her that I knew how to do that, and she wanted to see a sample. So instead of bringing in a sample, I made her a going-away present:


I used the Home Décor Cricut cartridge, and cut out "faith" at 2" on Con-Tac paper. I like using Con-Tac paper instead of regular vinyl for etching projects because it tends to be more forgiving. And if I mess up (which I did twice with this project- I needed the negative part of the image and kept peeling it off instead), I don't feel as bad ripping it or throwing it away to redo.

I gave her the present this morning (along with a handmade card), and she starting crying! She LOVED it, especially because she is a woman who strongly believes in faith. She will be missed.
