Thienly's Corner - Gothic Wall Hang

October 27, 2010


I am not really into the Gothic look, but when I saw these Gothic Flourishes - I soon realized why they are so appealing!  It probably had a lot to do with the fact that they were Mary's files (I love them all), but there's something mysterious and unique about them that drew me in. Pictured above is the wall hang (could be a door hang) that I created. It makes for a cute picture frame to put your favorite ...

Thienly’s Corner – Dates To Remember Book

September 15, 2010






I'm the worst when it comes to remembering people's birthdays.  I wanted something that I could keep the special dates (birthdays, anniversaries...) organized, and decided to put together a book.  I dedicated one page for each month of the year, and bound them together with my new machine, the Cinch.  This was my first coil-bound project. I put in a lot of love into this project, and paid attention to detail and placement of the cuts on each ...

Thienly’s Corner – Autumn Wreath

August 10, 2010



With so many of Mary's gorgeous autumn SVG collections, I couldn't resist making a home decor item! I've been looking out for a beautiful fall wreath for so long, and haven't found the right one, so I decided to make one! I cut up all the pieces, gave each of them lots of love, and attached all the pieces onto a 18" wreath (purchased at Michael's).
