Pillow cases- sweet dreams!

I decided to give vinyled pillowcases a shot. I have the heat transfer vinyl and just created designs. These are for some neighbors who are moving away. I have some other ideas in mind too. Of course I will HAVE to do a monogrammed pillow case. These would be really cute for party favors for a sleepover, or for kids going to college with the college logo on them. Cllick on the picture for a better view...

Unknown said...: Those are wonderful. I was checking out the H&H website for vinyl. What type of vinyl do you use for projects where you will be applying to a wall? I dont want it to rip off my paint!; July 29, 2009 at 4:04 PM
TA said...: I was wondering if you have any advise or if you had done any vinyl on plates. I was thinking of doing white plates with christmas designs for gifts. I just don't know if they need to be sealed or what. You seem so knowlegable I thought I would try you first. Thanks; July 30, 2009 at 6:53 PM

I went to the H&H site, but came back to you for a question. What type of iron on vinyl do you use?

Have SCAL2? Trace any image with these easy steps...really it's easy!

Images with little detail work the best - images in silhouette form, just black on white.

1. download a picture on your computer - usually if you see an image you can right click right on top of the image with your mouse, and then choose "save" or "save as" rename it if necessary - you can find images on blogs (my blog here too), websites, all over. Put it in a folder on your computer where you can remember. The image should be in the form of a .jpg or .bmp. I have a separate folder for scal files (and then I categorize my images by category)...

2. open scal 2 (this only works in scal2, don't have scal2? click on the link below to get it...)

3. click on the tree symbol (looks like an apple tree) a the top of the screen

4. it will bring up a search box, now find the file you saved, by clicking BROWSE.

5. once you click it and click OK , it will appear right on the scal screen, you can size and change it as needed.

My favorite quotes

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.- Barack Obama
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. - Barack Obama
Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and DO GOOD.
Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or har dwork. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
"What would you do if you knew you would not fail?"
I'm not very religious, but I just like this...Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.
