In His Grip: Jumbo Scrabble Tiles

I know that I am a bit late this week in posting the fun, creative, crafty things I have been doing around here lately. But I have had a new opportunity that has come my way (I will post about that at a later date) and I just have not had a moment to sit down and write a post. Scrabble is a game that I remember my Grandma Nelson playing all the time with us as kids. Even though I played this game often, it did not help me in the spelling department. I am not sure if Grandma let me get away with misspelled words or I am just a very slow learner. Even so, there is just something nostalgic about the game Scrabble for me. I have purchased individual Scrabble tiles in the past for projects and you know me if little Scrabble letters make me happy, giant ones should make me jump up and down with joy, right? I have to admit that is pretty much true. I literally did this project in one hour. I cut 1 x 6's into 6 inch squares, cut the letters out of adhesive vinyal with my Cricut machine, stuck them onto the wood squares, quick spray with clear coat, and wallah! Giant Scrabble tiles.

Because I wanted my tiles up for more than just Valentines day. I made three additional tiles so that I could spell out our name. Four of the tiles have the letters LOVE on one side and our name on the other. It does not take a lot to make me happy.
