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...

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.

Acrylic Post-it note holder and Design a Mug

This year for the Holidays, I decided to give each of my kids teacher a "custom" Acrylic post-it note holder with pen and a "custom" designed coffee tumbler. This project was really quick, easy and inexpensive to make using the tutorial from Split Coast Stamper http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/acrylic_post_ittrade_note_holder/   

I purchased the acrylic picture frames (5x7) and the design a mug from the Dollar Tree, the pens are Pentel RSVP from Staples. The PP is from My Mind's Eye- For Storytellers & Phototakers stack, ribbon is Stampin Up. I used Indie Art for the butterfly and SCAL for the scalloped circle and monogram.

BTW, this stack is FILLED with beautiful glitter pages...

Monogramed with the Teachers inital using a scal font
