Here is my Life is Good sign I made. I love how it turned out. I cut out the words in vinyl and put them on, but it was pretty boring, so it needed a little something more. It took me a long time to find something that would work. I originally had a simple little swirly thing in each corner, but it wasn't completely satisfactory. However, I was tired to trying to find something, so I was just going to leave it. When I showed it to Dan, he said it still needed something different. I'm glad he said that, because then I was able to come up with the swirlys it has now and I love it! It's so much better than what I had originally. I'm glad Dan told me what he was really thinking and didn't just say, good job. :) These husbands are good for something. Lol.
This is made from an art canvas (Dan found some left in his classroom). I spray painted it red. I bought the cheapo stuff from Walmart, for $1.12, then the lettering seriously cost about $1.50-$1.75. I got the idea of using a canvas from http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com She seriously has such good ideas!
I already had the ribbon, I bought for $1.50 from Joannes a while back. Soooo, it was a pretty cheap project. They sell canvases at Michaels or Joannes for I think around $8 or so. If you get a 40% off coupon, it's not bad at all.
