4th of July T's

Last year I had grand intentions to make 4th of July t-shirts for my kids. I wanted to use my Silhouette and even purchased glitter iron on transfer last year to use for the shirt. 4th of July came and went and no shirts. I think we ended up buying some at Target.

So this year I was determined to used some of the supplies from last year and I'm excited with how the shirts turned out. Only my girls wanted shirts, so I just made two of them. I found the t-shirts at Forever 21 for only $3.50 a piece.




For Hannah's shirt I used the Silhouette "4th Flowers" design plus my fonts to create her shirt. It took a bit of patience to iron on the transfer, but I think it was worth the effort. She loves her new shirt.


For Audrey's shirt I used Silhouette "Phrase: 4th of July" words on the bottom left of the shirt. This was also the first time that I used the iron on rhinestones for the firework. I loved using supplies that I've had for a while and have been wanting to use.


Now the girls have fun new shirts to wear on Monday.

Happy 4th of July to you!

Banner in Progress

This morning I woke up with an idea for a Valentine banner, so I got out of bed and got to work. There wasn't much time to play because I'm leaving for CHA this morning, but I have a good start.

One of the things that got me excited to make the banner is this new toy that arrived this week.
I'm so excited to get to play with this! It's a die cutting machine that will cut any true type font including dingbats. Very fun.

I have some fuzzy black vinyl and decided to cut "XOXO" out using the Shilouette.

Here's a look at how the banner is shaping up so far.
I picked these red heart dollies up at Walmart a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know what I'd use them for, but I knew they would be put to good use.

Hopefully I will finish up the banner once I'm home next week. I'll be sure to show the finished project.

Have a great weekend!
