Breast Cancer Tumbler

Hi bloggers,

I hope that everyone is having a great week!!!

This weekend, I had some spare time to get some crafty projects completed...

Told you all that I'm addicted to tumblers; however, I'm down to my last two until the next shipment comes in:-(. Anywho, my MIL is going through breast cancer treatments and I wanted to make something to help brighten her spirts...

For this tumbler I used the Fight Like A Girl svg that Todd over on the scal forum created, thx Todd! Brenda and the random words were created with the Hot Fudge font... All items were cut using MTC and Oracal 651!!!

Water bottles and tumblers galore!!!

This has been a super busy and crazy week and it's only Wednesday.

On Friday my oldest son came down with a nasty cold and strep throat, then to top it off I started feeling sick on Sunday night...

Uggh, what awful timing... I had orders that HAD to be completed, basketball mom duties to fulfill and my regular job to deal with ( did I mention, I hate being sick).

Anywho, on to the important stuff:-)...

I was asked to decorate 14  aluminum water bottles  for my  8 year old cousin's birthday party.  The birthday girl requested each guests name with butterflies on one side of the bottle (easy enough)! I wanted to do something special on the Bday girls water bottle so I found an awesome Justin Bieber svg file on the SCAL forum ( thanks Sweetness4713 for sharing your cool file) and I added this to the opposite side. The name font is Storybook created using MTC and the butterflies are a random clip art image that I traced in MTC.

All the other water bottles look similar to the ones shown

My name is Nubian and I'm an addict... YES, I have admitted that I have an addiction. I can't stop altering these double walled acrylic tumblers. I'll be cruising the net, see an image and the next thing you know I'm decorating a tumbler!!!

Whew, what a relief :-)

A co-worker requested these two tumblers for her 13 and 16 y/o nieces. The only information that she provided to me was their names and ages.

My goodness, I haven't been 16 in years and have NO idea what teenagers today really like- so hopefully I hit the mark. The images were found in google and I traced them in MTC. I used the Hot Fudge font on Brianna and the Princess font on Brittini.

Who Dat & two inital monogram tumbler

I pray that each of you had a wonderful Holiday. This year my family hosted Christmas dinner, our home was full of family, laughter, and love... For the first time in over 50 years the RDU area of North Carolina had a white Christmas; therefore our guests left a little earlier then expected:-(  Overall, we had an awesome day and I cannot wait until our next family gathering.

Now, on to our regular scheduled post, I have a couple more tumblers to share... The first tumbler was created for my sista Tsrel over on the Cricut MB... Every year, we exchange Christmas gifts... what better gift then a personalized who dat tumbler and ornament!

The second tumbler was created for an elderly lady that my cousin sits with during the week... According to my cousin, Ms. Finn " drinks out of the same cup everyday" so hopefully she will give this one a try...

I used the font Monotype Corsiva for the monogram, a svg for the scallop and butterflies that I pixel traced into MTC.

Hot Chocolate Cones...yummy

Can I say how awesome and cute these little cones are... well I said it anyway:-)

I "lifted" this idea directly from Heart in the Details blog; if you've never stopped by this blog please check it out, Andrea has some great projects and recipes to share...

Anywho, this year our family will be hosting Christmas dinner... I needed a quick and easy gift to give to our 35 guests so when I saw these on Andrea's blog I didn't need to look any further.  These were so easy to create we made it into a family project...

For this project you will need:

12 oz Wilton decorating bags

1 oz Hot Chocolate packets

mini marshmallows

mini chocolate chips ( we used choc, white, and peanut butter)

crushed peppermints (or not)

small rubber bands

ribbon and gift tags

Head on over to Andreas blog for step-by step details

I created my tag in MTC using the print and cut method... One side is a personal message and the other includes instructions...

My First Floating Frame!!!

After many months of saying that I wanted to create a floating frame, I've finally finished one!!! I'm a serious procrastinator, I'll see an idea, RUN out and purchase supplies and then let them sit for weeks sometimes months untouched...

So, when my cousin needed a Christmas gift for her ex-MIL I figured this would be the perfect occasion to use one of the floating frames that I snagged from AC Moore... This frame is 11x14; I used oracal vinyl with the Shishoni Brush and Aquarelle font.

The tissue paper is here for photo purposes only...

University Acrylic Tumblers & Cake...

I'm hooked on decorating these acrylic tumblers (they are sooo addictive)...

Anywho, as one of the holiday gifts for the kids teachers we personalized a tumbler with the teachers name or monogram and favorite University!!!

I found the college logos on sportslogos.net and used  MTC and Oracal 651 vinyl to complete the look.

Why, stop there... while browsing around Michaels, I picked up these super cute ceramic loaf pans...

My grandmother has the most amazing lemon poundcake recipe; what better time to share than the holidays!! Add some cellophane and ribbon and you have a nice little gift.

Glitter Ornaments

Hi blog family... I'm back with another post!!!

Over the weekend, the kids and I made glitter ornaments; the ornaments turned out perfect and they were so easy to make! 

To create the ornaments we used clear glass ornaments (2 5/8), martha stewart fine glitter, doodlebug glitter for a couple of them and pledge w/ future shine  floor wax.

For the finishing touch we added names created in MTC with the Andantino JF font using oracal outdoor vinyl...

The kids wanted to thank Tameka and Nett for placing an order!
