Engagement Excitement!

Crafting is definitely a pastime I thoroughly enjoy!  I tend to craft in a crunch, when planning one of my children's birthday parties.  My crafting world reawakened this April when my sister became engaged.  I ran to Pinterest for some pinspiration to celebrate the engagement.  I decided to create a magazine holder and fill it with bridal magazines to kickstart the wedding planning!

This project required a quick trip to Ikea where I bought a magazine file.  I believe it may have been "Kvissle."

I then worked in Cricut Design Space testing different fonts to find two different styles that would work well.  I ended up using Soiree Lettering - Grace Script for the words: Congrats, Ever, Best, and Day.  The word "Congrats" is 1.59 inches, "Ever" is 1.57 inches and "Best Day" is 2.18 inches.  For the remaining words I used Cricut font Elizabeth.  The word "Time" is 1.54 inches while "to" and "the" are 1.32 inches and "plan" is 2.06 inches.
I then imported a google image of a ring.  I cut all the words using black Expressions Vinyl.

Peeling the letters and adhering them on a slant was the trickiest part of this project.  I found that using tweezers was the most helpful.
