Hey everyone! I’ve got a super quick & simple project for today’s Sis Boom Clip Art Series: A Faux Lighted Mirror!

For this project we’ll be using Sis Boom’s Glitter Garland Circles

All you’ll need is this clip art file, some scissors, and adhesive dots.

Start by printing out the clip art onto glossy photo paper and cutting out each circle.

Grab some adhesive dots, adhere to the back of the circles, and start sticking! It’s as easy as that!!



If you want your mirror to have a more “authentic” look of lights, you can choose to just use the gold glitter circles. Line the top of your mirror with the large circles to simulate vanity lights. (You can even line the bottom with the small or large dots if you want!)

Or you can use just pink, or alternate between the two colors. They could also just be used as a decorative border around a mirror – the possibilities are endless!

LOVING our Fridays!!! What a treat to have our girl, Jessica of LOVE COLORFUL all up in hurr on the Sis Boom blog! Take it away, Jessica! Pssssst… Jessica’s beautiful wedding was just featured in Mingle Magazine– you HAVE to check it out. WOWZA!
Hey there! Ok, I know you’ve seen a bunch of trees up on here, but hey, they are just so darn easy and fun to make I can’t help myself! Using Sis Boom Clip Art we’ve already made a Sequin Flower Tree and a Striped Heart Tree, but this week we’re going with a Glitter Scallop Tree!

As you probably have guessed by now, we’re using the Glitter Textures Clip Art (yup! the same ones we used for the Happy Home Banner, except this time we’re using the smaller, original sizes!)

Since we’ve been through this quite a few times, I think we can get by with just a few pictures – sound good? Simply print your clip art on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper (either plain white paper & glue or you can use sticker backed sheets to help the squares stick to each other)


All you’ll really need is a tiny bit of patience!

Hi! It’s Madeline! Ok– I am so over the moon with this new CLIP ART! ahh I can’t stop dreaming up ideas to share with our Sis Boom friends!
As you can see, I made more use of our Valentine CLIP ART.. I’m just thinking of Valentine’s Day as a kick off of LOVE! Why do we only profess our love so openly on this one single day?! Let’s keep it going! Even more surprising than a sweet card on February 14th… is a card afterwards just to say, Hey.. I really (still) love you a lot. It’s like a little non-Valentine’s day surprise.

What else can you do with these Clip Art goodies?
- Print on fabric paper (check Amazon for this) & make pillows! Embellish with sequins & more!
- Print on iron transfer paper (check Amazon for this) and embellish an apron, T-shirt, pillow & more!
- banners, cards, cake & cupcake toppers, garlands, announcements & invitations
- paper chains
- collages
- photograph embellishments
- the list goes on! send us your ideas!

Hi everyone- It’s Madeline here to wish you a very happy Valentine’s day!!! Did you shoot out of bed this morning only to realize, “OMG it’s Valentine’s day and I didn’t get my hunnie a single thing!!” Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered! Why don’t you make a sweet card, little banner, touching love note.. something small and special that just says, I LOVE YOU. Don’t stop there!… Send sweet notes to your friends too… broadcast your gratefulness for LOVE on this LOVELY day!
Some ideas for you:
Download Sweet Valentine Ephemera: Print on card stock OR glossy photo paper. Punch out 1″ circles with your paper punch, space circles every 5″ or so, and hot glue circles back to back with a piece of bakery twine between. Swag this sweetness in the doorway and wait for the smiles.
Download Striped Hearts: Print on glossy paper and cut around the hearts. Glue back to back with ribbon between the hears and hang vertically. Make 3 or 4 and fill your doorway with striped hearts! LOVE!
Download V-DAY ephemera: Simple print these vintage valentines out and write a sweet poem on the other side. Doesn’t get better than a good ole fashion love note!
This is what I just made for my special love using the new Sis Boom CLIP ART! HAVE FUN!

Take a look here at this wonderful wreath made from a copy of a print in Lucky Girl (I am really such a tease) … Circa is barely off the presses.
How’d I do it? I glued punched out hearts onto a embroidery hoop and topped it off with a bit of Glitter and a sweet PINK Bow.
Anyone want this… signed by me? Leave a comment with regards to your heart’s desire. You’ll automatically be entered in the raffle after you leave a comment. Winner announced this Friday morning (just in time to deliver this special treat by Valentine’s Day!)

Get your best candy game on , we are moving into the perfect sweet storm. Imagine one day someone thought this up..let’s go to the neighbors and ask for candy. I love this tradition. I love when my kids would comeback from the evening and count and recount and divide by likes and dislikes, trade with each other and of course the tantrums when they thought one was missing from their stash. Oh those times. We had a great scheme to get rid of all the candy after a few days. They could trade it with the candy witch and she would leave a movie for them..That always worked!! Just didn’t like that enormous amount of candy in the house….like anyone does? oh An old postcard glittered and some vintage wallpaper makes the best vignette.
Don’t forget raffle in previous post would hate for you to miss out.
