Winnie the Pooh and Baby Too!!

  Hi Blog Family,

I hope that this post finds you all well!

 Life for me has been busy as usual; however, I've managed to find a little "Me Time" in all our family mayhem.

Recently I attended a baby shower for a family friend whose nursey theme will be Winnie the Pooh. At the last minute I decided to purchase the Pooh diaper bag but I couldn't find anything to go inside soooo... Vinyl and MTC to the rescue.

In a hurry I was able to create a few cute little personalized items for Baby Christopher.

Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Long time no see... Recent projects!

 OMG, I cannot believe four months has gone by since I have last updated my blog...

Where did the time go?

I tell you it seems like the summer months were a complete blur; between travel basketball, cheerleading competitions, work, family vacations, and general family things I haven't had much "free" time . I have been crafting, just not posting ( I know sad excuse for a blogger). So let me catch you guys up on a few things...

 In July, I attended my first ever swarm and it was AWESOME!!! The swarm was hosted by Sista's Scrap TOO in Jasper, GA where I got to meet the most fabulous group of crafty people... I had a ton of fun and didn't want the weekend to end, I cannot wait to do it all over again. I've joined a couple of swaps which is something I NEVER do, I'll be sure to post a picture once my projects are delivered. I've been getting more familar with my new DSLR and I LOVE it...

So on to some recent projects... I hope I don't give you all picture overload.

My youngest son's basketball team was invited to the USBA Nat'l Tournament in Myrtle Beach over the summer so I made us all t-shirts using HTV, MTC and files that I found on google :

I've always loved the Smurfs, so imagine my happiness when the movie was announced!  I just had to make a tumbler with my two favorite characters. Anywho, I used outdoor vinyl, MTC, a coloring book page for Gargamel and the smurfette svg was found online ( sorry I cannot remember the owner)

These next two layouts are my most recent projects.

I have challenged myself to create at least two full page layouts per month for my family. So far I'm on target and find that I actually enjoy working with paper, now I just need to get the pictures printed.

Hittin' the books.

I used MTC, files found on-line and svgcuts.com kit to complete this lo. The apple and chalkboard were created using chalkboard vinyl!

The Micheal Jackson Experience...

Earlier this year my husband and I hosted a Wii party... OMG, we had a ton of fun and our guests couldn't stop laughing and talking about the party. I knew that I had to create a lo to capture these memories, I cannot wait to add the pictures. I used MTC and images found in google and online, an assortment of glittery cardstock and print and cut for the lp albums.

That's all for now, I promise to post again soon! Hugs

2011 Teacher Appreciation Gifts

Hi Bloggers,

The past week I have been super busy preparing teacher appreciation gifts.

This year my kids have a great group of teachers who deserve to be appreciated daily.Our teachers do an amazing job and I cannot thank them enough!!!

 I wanted our TAP gift to be useful and something that the teachers would enjoy. My ideas were all over the place and I couldn't seem to focus on a central theme ( that's what I get for blog hopping). Anywho, using the ideas from several blogs I was able to put together a few items that I hope our teachers will enjoy. In total I created 15 TAP gifts ( not all teachers received a gift basket).

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Royal Knights static cling vinyl car decal

Long time no see fellow bloggers:-)... Once again, life has gotten in the way of me having fun; however, I took a few minutes to try out the cling vinyl that I purchased from craftvinyl (btw,super fast service and the products are great). Okay, on to details about the project... my husband and a group of coaches/friends recently started an AAU Youth Basketball Team (Royal Knights) and of course we needed decals... so cricut to the rescue!!! My co-worker who is super kind created two awesome logos for the team to use (thanks Chris)!!!

 After tracing the image in SCAL2 I was easily able to cut the logo using vinyl (cricut vinyl and wallpops). Once cut, I used transfer paper and attached to the static cling vinyl... Super easy and it holds up well...

BTW, the pic was taken with the cling on the outside window for picture purposes ONLY!!! Cling should be applied to the inside of the window...

Birthday Diva on Board!!!!

On Saturday, my daughter Trinity celebrated her 10th Birthday with an outing to the nail salon and mall with six of her friends (whew what a day, these little ladies have some energy!)...

Oh my, why didn't someone warn me before I agreeded to take on this Birthday wish????

All in all we had a wonderful and eventful day.

In keeping with the Birthday Diva theme, I altered a canvas bag for each girl using HTV and iron on bling... Oh what fun. In addition, I created Trinity her very own Birthday Diva t-shirt once again using HTV, SCAL and the I-Rock
( If you don't have this nifty lil tool, you should go out and get it  ...)

It's the Birthday GIRL!!!

Wonderful World of Disney!!!

Three weeks and counting... the kids are so excited about our upcoming Disney vacation, and I will admit that I'm having tons of fun creating Disney related items for them to enjoy!!!

This week over on platinumscraps the designers were asked to create any altered item, so to keep the Disney mood going I altered a couple plain t-shirts that were purchased from AC Moore using Siser EasyWeed Heat Transfer Vinyl and the Mickey and Friends Cricut cart...

Sea World T-shirts

Whew, its been a minute since I've posted to the blog... Our schedule has gotten quite busy with all of the kids activities and work; however, we are less than one month away from our Disney/Sea World vacation so I need to get cracking!!!

To help save on cost and add a little personalization to our trip, I decided to make custom Sea World t-shirts... I created the logos using SCAL from images found on brandsoftheworld.com and freelogovector.net.
