My son's room had a spot that needed a little something, so I thought, why not make my own piece of Subway Art that reflected something that he was passionate about? He is a runner. He runs track. He runs cross country. And, if I do say so myself, he is pretty dang good at it! :) Anyway, he has running quotes that he likes and so I used those for my inspiration for my art piece.
I took a regular artist canvas and cut out vinyl lettering on my Cricut. I used a variety of different cartridges for this project. I designed the look I wanted using my Cricut Design Studio. I LOVE IT!
I join in LINKY PARTIES HERE and I BLOG HOP HERE. Pop over and check them out! Also, mark your calendars, I am starting my own Linky Party a week from this Thursday (September 2nd) called Thrilling Thursday. I hope you will join in!!! :)

Great job on your project! I've been wanting to create something similar - but listing the places we've traveled to!! This may just be the motivation I need (esp. since I have two BLANK canvases parked in the garage just begging for a project!)
