Secrete Santa Gift

Hubby's work does Secrete Santa every year. He has always had a woman, so I have made the gift every year. This year, it was a woman again and word has gotten out that if Dave is your Secrete Santa his wife will make you a cute decoration. He is in high demand now and has been informed he is being fought over;) Here is what the lucky winner gets this year. Using THIS printable I made last year, I cut it out in vinyl and placed it on a tile. BUT I think for myself it will be put on a distressed wooden board:)

Sorry about the lack of Magical Day of Make Believe Series, I have been down for the count with a wicked head cold. I am working on it and will have it done beginning of next week:)

Make and Mingle

My sisters and momma are planning on coming to visit me in October. As usual, they want to make crafts with me. Last year I spent most of my time on the computer getting the everything ready to cut vinyl for them. This year is over the top crazy for me right now, and I am loving every minute of it. I always enjoy crafting for other people when they are paying for it because I get to do what I love without breaking the bank:) The plan is to get everything ready for them to paint and apply vinyl. That way we can spend much more time hanging out together. Here is a line up of our up coming crafts! I even have a few surprises for them that I whipped up. BUT sense they read this blog I won't tell you what it is until they come to visit.

My sisters and momma are making this. It's reversible.

 I decided I wanted to make this frankenstein instead. Mine will be reversible too!

 This is what will be on the opposite side of mine.

 This little guy is going on spare tile from my floors.

 We are going to put this one in a floating glass red frame

 This one we are putting on a piece of metal instead of wood and I have frosted vinyl. It should be very cute! I hand drew the pattern and scanned it in and turned the file into an SVG file.

 This one is double sided, but they haven't told me what they want on the other side yet. I am thinking something Easter.

I fell in love with this advent calendar. It is super-d-duper cute.

So, I have it all laid out, I just need to finish cutting the vinyl. It is a slow process because my cricut isn't really fast and I have to cut out 5 of each thing. So there you go. That is what I am up to. Next I will be sanding and maybe priming a few things. Oh the things we do for those we love:)

T-shirt Vinyl

I have been playing around with t-shirt vinyl again and I have to say I am addicted. I made a few onesies for a friend who is having her 3rd boy. Yep, it's true, she only makes boys;)

P.S. more projects are coming, I just need to get my pictures onto my computer. Hubby bought a USB cord yesterday:)

Star Wars Silhouette

I needed a template for star wars. I wanted to make matching "manly" aprons for my son and hubby.
Here is what I found. Coloring pages make GREAT templates. You can find them everywhere just by googling it.

Star Wars coloring pages can be found HERE or HERE. For the clone helmet I used THIS picture and put it in a word doc to adjust the size.

I used t-shirt vinyl found HERE. It was my first time using it and I am hooked:) Super easy to use. I taped the picture onto the vinyl and cut it out with scissors. You could also use it on any cutting machine, but I am still learning to use the Sure Cuts Alot so adding images is beyond my knowledge at this point:) I am working on it though.

Here they are in all their glory on the top of the aprons. They are going to be reversible.
