New Trumpet T




Here is another trumpet T for my son- front and back- (made with Heat Transfer Vinyl). The design looks skewed a bit, but it is because he is wearing the shirt and it is not laying flat.

Happy Halloween




These are donut hole eyes I made for an event today. Just got the donut holes at the store (we could only find glazed, so we rolled them in powered sugar). Then I used a little frosting to stick the candy eyes on them. Cool huh, and tasty too! (I made the eyes from royal icing and sticking a mini m&m in the middle)

I can't wait for Halloween




I love Halloween, this is the treat bucket I made for this year made it with some vinyl scraps I had around. (front and back views). The eyes I just made with a circle inside and oval. The "boo" cut is a few posts down available for you to have!

An Earring Makeover



I saw these ugly earrings on clearance at Kohl's and knew I could easily vinyl them and make a cute pair of Halloween earrings. (When Halloween is over, I can just peel off the vinyl and start with another design). I just put on the black stripe and orange polka dots.

Yummy apple pies




Here are the yummy apple pies I made with a friend. The minis are made by just putting a small round of pie crust in the bottom, then added small diced apples, cranberries, sugar and spices, topped it with crumble topping (bake at 400 about 30 minutes). I have to say the minis are wonderful and I will be making them for Thanksgiving and I'm sure many times before that. It is a little bite of pie and all of the flavors without the calories!

What's old is new Again...



Two years ago I blogged about Wordle.net. This is a great website where you can make your own word art, and this style of word art is so popular now. I love making cards from Wordle. They are so original and you can personalize them so well. Here are some cards I made with wordle.


How do you get your wordle creation to be on a card??? Once the wordle is done, I print it to my "cute PDF Writer" (it's a free application - cutepdf.com), which prints it to PDF format. Once I have it in PDF format, I then convert it to jpg format through this free converter(http://convert.neevia.com/pdfconvert/) . Once I have it in .jpg, I can do whatever I want with it, resize, etc...It's really not complicated...

Trays, Trays, Trays











I posted these on the message board, but wanted to share them here. I got a whole bunch of trays and chip n dip containers. The trays are great, and the perfect surface for vinyl. I want to sell them for kids too as snack trays or homework trays, or even to put on their dressers to keep things organized. I got them in lots of colors at the Christmas Tree Shop on clearance at about .50 each.

New Ts for my son




Here are some iron on vinyl t shirts for my son. He helped me design them. The dragon one is made with the glow in the dark iron on vinyl. The trumpet on the blue one is silver metallic iron on.

Halloween candy/cookie jar



I love Halloween so much, I just can't help myself and keep making Halloween stuff. I got a whole bunch of these plastic jars from a local dollar store. I just added vinyl words and hanging spiders and dots.
