Center Pieces/ Tile

So I was able to finally go home this weekend. Amazing I love being home and having mom's cooking wish I would've felt better with my tooth and all but it was still fun. Friday we got back late and Saturday I was pretty much on the couch all day but Sunday I was able to finally cut out some small designs we might use on our invitations. 

Mom and I also started playing around with the polymer crystals. I brought mine home to show her how mine looked and how after sitting for a week the middle did turn teal. Mom took a small candle glass and pushed it into the middle of the glass. She then put a tea light into the glass and we lit it and this is what we saw.
This was the type of glow I wanted and was quite impressed how it turned out. We then took out the top layer to see how it would look coming through the blue. It still turned out green since the yellow flame was going through the blue. It was decided that we would just use the green polymer and put the blue in another way.
 So this is what we came up with. Blue doily, green polymer crystals, and pearls around the for my decoration. I think this looks good and excited that one thing is pretty much done. 
Well while working with the Cricut I thought that our apartment doesn't really have a lot of decorations. So I had mom bring up an old tile she had left over from doing her counter and I started looking through quotes. Aaron and I decided on the quote "We may not have it all together but together we have it all." I took the quote and cut it out on vinyl and placed it on the tile. It's kinda crooked but it gives something else to our apartment to make it home.
