First I want to take a quick second to congratulate Nancy L. - she is the winner of Creative Wildfire by LK Ludwig in last week's giveaway.
This week's giveaway is Simple Gifts: 50 Little Luxuries to Craft, Sew, Cook & Knit by Jennifer Worick.
All you need to do to be in the running for this charming project-filled book is leave your answer to today's question in the comments section by next Thursday Midnight EST, July 1, 2010 and you are in!
Today's question is based on the fun project I am sharing with you today from Simple Gifts: 50 Little Luxuries to Craft, Sew, Cook & Knit:
Have you used a silhouette in a project? Do you have a favorite?
If not, do you have a silhouette project on your "to-craft" list?
Easy, huh?
If you haven't done any silhouette crafting, why not try this one:
I love profile silhouettes. I have a set of my grandparents that just make me smile every time look at them (which is a lot since they're on my living room wall). I think making a full-body silhouette of a little one is such a charming idea, and as the book title states, Simple Gifts: 50 Little Luxuries to Craft, Sew, Cook & Knit, what parent wouldn't love to get this as a gift?!
