When Geeks & Crafting Collide - the Dr. Who Edition





By special request of my brother for his laptop, this week I cut out two Dr. Who decals.  I actually love the way they turned out.  He was pretty pleased too!  He wants the Tardis in white for his car which I'll do next time he visits. (Sorry for the poor pictures, his laptop cover was metallic and the glare was terrible.)  I'm planning to make a home-made light box soon for these pictures.

Heat Transfer Vinyl - Custom Alabama T-Shirt


I've been wanting to try heat transfer vinyl for a while so I finally did it.  This was such a fun project!  I will definitely be doing more in the future.  I've seen so many of these "Keep Calm and ...whatever" sayings for all kinds of things so I thought it was perfect for my Alabama-obsessed boys!  I put together this design for my youngest who was thrilled with it!  I think he has as many ideas as I do for shirts.

You Can Vinyl ANYTHING! Coolers Included


You can vinyl almost anything.  My husband came wagging home with this nifty floating cooler for our pool.  It's basically a little raft with an inflatable cooler inside.  I decided it needed vinyl and put lyrics from Toby Keith's "Red Solo Cup" on it.  Infinitely suitable.  We love it!!

Yellow & Navy Vino2Go

Another custom Vino2Go yellow with navy dots.  It's a new font too - 2 Peas Mr. Giggles.  LOL  The name of it just makes ME giggle.

Vino2Go - Wine Glasses for the Summertime!


Aren't these the cutest?!  I made these for use around the pool.  They're the double-wall acrylic wine glasses called Vino2Go.  I couldn't decide which monogram to use so I did one of each just because I can!  LOL

Baseball Tumblers

This was a custom request from a baseball team.  Each cup has both designs on it.  I'm very pleased with how they turned out.  We selected a 'boyish' font to use and added the baseball and date on the other side.  These were for boys around the 11- 12 year old age range.  My own son this age loved them so I hope the recipients are just as happy!

Mother's Day Tile

I've seen these floating around the internet for a while.  I love the sentiment and always think something handmade is nice.  I get my love of crafting from my mom so what could be more perfect!  This has brown and gold glittery vinyl.

Mickey M0use Clipboard

My son's 2nd grade teacher loves all things Disney so when the room mom asked me to decorate a clipboard for her, I was inspired.  This is the back of the clipboard with the Mickey ears and the W@lt Disney font for her name (sorry for the glare - hard to balance a clipboard, poster board, and phone all at once, lol).  On the front, I also put her name at the very bottom so when papers are clipped on, you'll still see it.  It's going in the gift from the class that get's presented tomorrow. I haven't gotten in feedback yet and I'm excited to hear if she likes it.

Pencil Bouquet for Teacher Appreciation


I just love trolling on Pinterest.  It feeds my need to craft.  I think this turned out amazing.  A huge thanks to http://www.thehappyscraps.com/2011/05/teacher-appreciation-gift.html where this originated!  I found these darling pencils at Target last Easter and the small tin pails too.  How can you go wrong with a little personalization on the bucket?  It's the perfect size to reuse for class room school supplies!  I cut the flowers and out of card stock on my Cricut using an svg I found on the internet somewhere.  I hope my son's teacher loves it as much as I do!

Embroidery on Towels!

There was more excitement today!  My mom (hi Mom!!  :) is teaching me how to embroider on her embroidery machine.  I'm so thrilled!  I found these cute beach towels at Sam's (for $12.98).  They are the huge "sheet" style.  Anyway, she taught me how to line everything up, hoop, add stabilizer, the whole nine yards.  She did the towel on the bottom with me learning along the way.  I did the towel on the top.  My mind is spinning with ideas and I can't wait to learn more and try some new projects.  I'll keep you posted!
