Tiles

Today I am sharing a picture of one of two tiles that I made as gifts, I didn't get to take a picture of the other one.  I actually thought the receipient would keep it at work but she took it home.  The tile pictured was made for my manager as she seems to enjoy handmade items.  This was my first time making tiles using vinyl, I backed them with adhesive felt and included the stand.  This is a project that I will more than likely be doing again, now I need more vinyl.  The elephant and greek letters are both from the silhouette store.

I am sharing this project for the Freestyle challenge #180  over at Hiding in my Craft Room.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you'll visit again soon.  Best wishes to you and yours for a prosperous new year!

Spirit Day

Today is spirit day at my daughter's school and we haven't purchased any gear yet so she asked me to make her a t-shirt.  She told me what she wanted on it so we just had to get an orange t-shirt , the school colors are black and orange.  I think it came out cute, and she was pleased, I used the Quarter Note cartridge for the vinyl lettering and Create A Critter for the glittered heart.  My laptop had the blue screen death this morning, I sure hope it comes back alive!

Using Vinyl w/the Cricut

Today I'm sharing a vinyl project that I finished a few days ago. The girl scouts are going to Washington, DC this weekend as part of their 100th anniversary so my daughter wanted a water bottle to take along with her. Funny how she wanted it for her trip this weekend but she has been carrying it to school for the past few days. I had a hard time photographing it but I did want to share it since she's so proud of it. It has her name on it (of course) and two butterflies and a ladybug(her pet peeve name from her father). I used the pooh font cartridge for her name, doodlecharms for the ladybug and wall decor and more for the butterflies.
