Welcome Plaque

Hello Crafty Friends, 

Today is my day to share on She's a Sassy Lady, Thank you so much Sheila for this opportunity, I am always so excited to share on your Blog....

Today I have a God Bless This Home Plaque,  

I started with a blank wooden plaque I got from the Dollar Store...

Next I did 2 coats of White paint, and let it dry

next on my Silhouette software I designed this plaque, I used the Lavanderia Font.....(I LOVE this Font!!!!) for the God Bless and the couples name.... and the other font was Times New Roman, I have the Designers Edition Software, which is great for tracing, so I was able to trace the flourishes, and found a cute house in clip art and trace it...  

Next I cut it all out in Black Vinyl and applied it to the Dried plaque

I made this for my Mother In Law, and she LOVED it...
Thank you so much for stopping by today...

Memory Tile

Hello Crafty friends!!!!
welcome, I know I have been MIA for quite awhile, but I am really hoping to get back to creating, life really does get in the way of all my fun....lol
well luckily Sheila at She's a Sassy Lady is still having me guest design for her fabulous blog!!!
So this is what I have today, its a Memorial Tile, I lost me dad almost 3 years ago, and miss him so much, Cancer sucks....he was way to young, only 60....and I was daddy's girl,( partly the reason I have been MIA...actual lost my dad and my brother within a year of each other...)
so now I have this beautiful glass block to look at and the Tile went to my Step Sister, who absolutely loves it....
Here  is the finished Tile, its a 12 x 12 Tile from hardware store, 

 here is the original pic of my Dad

 Using Photo shop i edited the photo, I had to do a little drawing on his beard and hair...but it looks pretty good.....

I also made a glass block etching for myself...It was actually a boo boo, my first attempt to weed, well it didn't go so well...but I had the negative...so I thought why not etch it....there are no boo boo's in crafting!!

Here he is all weeded,....

and here I have applied him to the 12 x 12 tile, with the words......I love Make The Cut, it makes tracing pics so easy.....

 Thank you so much for stopping by today and be sure to stop by She's a Sassy Lady for lots of inspiration....

Vinyled Tile

Hello Crafty Friends!!!!
Today is my day to share a project with my friends over at She's A Sassy Lady, and I have a great project for you today, a tile, a ceramic tile with some vinyl on it to be displayed on a plate holder, A friends mom just turned 65 and She loves her doggie so much, and I had no idea what to get her and this idea popped in my head, I have seen so many of these done and thought I would give it a try,
here is the final product.

starting with a picture of the dog

 My son helping me with the photo editing,  I used adobe Photo Shop, we created an image I could cut out

I imported my image to MTC and added his name

 here it is all weeded, that didn't take as long as I thought it would, plus weeding is my favourite part...lol

I picked up a tile at my local hardware store, it is a 12 x 12

 using transfer tape I applied it to a clean tile,
She actually cried, she loved it, and so do I, I can't wait to make another one,

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my prject...

Tank Top Iron On Vinyl Project

Hello Crafty Friends, 

I am so happy to share with you and my friends over at The Bugbytes today, I just LOVE this new Cricut Iron On Vinyl!!!!!

my son's friend ask if I could make her a shirt, She has wanted this shirt for a while so of coarse I said yes....

starting with the iron on vinyl I placed it on my mat, remember shiny side up, and when cutting your image or words out remember to mirror before cutting, the shiny side is actually the transfer tape and the dull side is what you will place onto your shirt, 

She choose her shirt and I ran the iron over it to heat it up, then apply your vinyl

Remeber to put a thin cloth over the vinyl, between the iron and the vinyl, and use a solid surface, and your muscles...lol alot of pressure is needed

and here she is with her new shirt on, I LOVE it, and so did she,
my son and her and a few others were going to see Jason Aldean, and she had to have her shirt to wear....

Thank you so much for stopping by today, 

and if you have any questions about Iron On Vinyl, please ask away, it is sooooo easy to do...

Iron On Vinyl-Lawn Chair

Hello Craffty Friends, 
I hope you are all well, 
we are looking forward to a Long weekend this weekend, 
Happy Canada Day my fellow Canadians!!!!!!
well let's get to my post, that is the reason you are here, LOL!!!
Today is my day over at She's a Sassy Lady, 
Thank you Sheila, 
Today I have an Iron-On Vinyl project for you, 
I just received an order from my Favourite on-line seller, 
Terri from Stamps Alive here is a link to her, 
She is Fabulous to deal with....
Cricut has recently come out with Iron-On Vinyl, I couldn't wait to 
try it, here is a sneak peak at the finished product.....
A child's Moon chair for my puppy to sit in, yes I said my puppy...
we spend alot of time outdoors, and he keeps stealling everyones chair when they get up, so I found this child's Moon chair and thought this is perfect for him, with a little personalization of coarse...lol

Using MTC I used the LD Red Hatter's Hand Font and some paw prints I traced Remember to mirror your image 

and usinmg Cricut's new Iron On Vinyl in black and Silver glitter

 place the vinyl shiney side down on your mat, note when I cut out the regular black iron on vinyl using the kiss cut setting was ok      3-3-3 cutting once , but when cutting the glittery one you need to do the 3-3-3 but use multi cut 2, it is pretty thick

using your iron heat up the area you are going to apply the vinyl to before adding the vinyl, then place your vinyl ( I did not use my ironing board, because you need to apply alot of pressure to the iron, I used a towel on a good hard wood table)

then placed another thin towel over my images, apply alot of pressure moving iron around and did I say ALOT of pressure, LOL

I would say probably for 3 - 5 mins 

Carefully and slowly lifting the transfer tape (that is already there) while your image is still warm

and voila!!!!  I LOVE IT!!!!!! 

I love the Iron On Vinyl, so many possibilites!!!! 

 here is the final product, I probably could have gone a little bigger but there are so many bars behind this chair, this was as big as I could do it and still get my iron to lay flat

here is Taz enjoying his chair before I got it done, 

he LOVES his chair, unfortunatly he is not here to try it out all done, as he is at the Vets....... he just turned 6 months so he is, well you know what happens when a puppy turn 6 months......hopefully he will stop stealing everyones chair now that he has his own, 

I haven't talked much about my new Puppy Taz, my hubbie got him for me for Valentine's Day, some of you may have seen pictures of my beautiful Pug Lola, unfortunatly we lost my beautiful girl the begininng of Feb., she got out the back door, and ran away, she never would go to far and would always come home with in minutes, but on this day she never came home, and she went a little further away and was hit by a car, I miss her sooo much and have been very upset over losing her, my husband feels responsible as he was the one to leave the door open, of coarse I don't blame him, but it has been very hard for us, anyone who has owned a pug will understand, even though we barely had her a year, she really was a huge part of our lives, those little pug personalities are just something, So I would like to introduce my new baby Taz...aka Tazzy , Taz Man....he is sooo cute, He is a Bugg, a Boston Terrier/Pug Mix  

 This is my little man Taz at 7 1/2 weeks old and 3 lbs....so cute right

and here is my Taz Man today at 6 months old, and weighing 17 lbs.....still pretty cute little guy

Thank you so much for stopping by today, 
and please let me know if you have any questions about Iron-On Vinyl,

Vinyl Stickers for the Truck

Hello Crafty Friends, 

Today is my day to post at She's A Sassy Lady,

Today I have a sticker I made from vinyl, I LOVE Vinyl.....

I must give you a little story on this prject.....

My son LOVES for me to make him vinyl stickers for his truck, bike, and well pretty much anything else he can attach them to...LOL he comes up with some pretty funny stuff.....and I create it....He LOVES to go Muddin' he has a 4x4 Toyota 4 Runner and loves to get muddy, well one day he hit a tree and put a pretty good dent in his back fender, he was upset for about a minute, then he came up with "chicks dig body damage" and said mom.....can you....and I said of coarse, so using my Cricut and MTC I found this great font ( it doesn't have a very nice name)......and was it time consuming to weed, it really looks like someone wrote it in marker on his truck....

here it is on my screen...along with some 4x4's for his friends atv.....

                 

here it is after a lot of weeding

 and here is the final project......
 I think it looks great!!!!! when we can see it...his truck is usually covered in mud!!!! and the Cricut Vinyl is so great!!!!! he power washes his truck 4 times a month.....at least, and some of these have been on there for months......( I have made all the stickers in the picture) 
doesn't the font look like someone wrote it in marker!!! I will put the name of the font in my comments.....I really don't like the name of it....

Thanks for stopping by today, and a big thanks to Sheila for having me......
