This one took me about 2 hours to make, but it was worth it.
Once again I owe my inspiration to my sisters. Two of them are into small touches of nautical accents so they have inspired me to try some things I wouldn't normally do.
My younger sister will be getting a sign very close to this one as soon as I get it done.
I actually made a "crab stamp" so that I can use it over and over. I've done this with a few other things, like birds and such. It really cuts down on your total time spent making something and you know what it will look like each time.
Join me tomorrow for We Can Do It Cheaper!

These signs are awesome! I love the rustic and weathered look.
Awesome sign! I know that A can't wait to get hers! She told me she already has a place all ready in the boys room. It looks great, as always!
Love signs!! I think I'm obscessed! :) I'd have signs in every inch of my house if it was entirely up to me. Curious about how you made a crab stamp?? It turned out great!
Wow, you are much better at this sign making stuff than me! I love the writing you used and your colors are so pretty. You'll have to do a tutorial on how you make your stamps.
I love these! Great job!! I use to paint crabs and other sea creatures and sell online... great idea that you made a stamp for your crab! Love the colors!

sorry I haven't been by in a while. I love your signs. Never been to Tybee Island but I have seen Layla over at the Lettered Cottage talk about it and show pics. Looks like a place I would love to go. Now that crab sign reminds me of home. We alwyas vacationed on the Easter Shore in MD. Now I am hungry for crabs. : )
Love it! It turn out so good!
Love it!! :) You need to do a tutorial on how to make your own stamp -- love that idea!
Cute signs! You have a great Blog!
Love all your signs! They look great.

I am traveling over from Transformation Thursday. Love the signs! I like the rustic look and think I might have to try my hand at it a little!
Must you make your sisters jealous of each other? Not very nice....now I'll go make some she-crab soup and I'll be darned if you get any!
I love those signs!! Do you sell them??
How cool! I have lots of decorations, but not very much on my walls. I would love to try these!
