Quick vinyl project

We had a new front door installed back in the fall.  It looked really plain so I decided to jazz it up a bit.  I saw a post on Fantabulous Cricut a few months ago that I loved and thought it was the perfect thing. It was a simple initial with a flourish next to it.  I couldn't find a scroll I liked so I opted for a crown.   I used the latte colored vinyl from cricut and cut an "S" from the Happy Hauntings cart.  I believe it was the spooky font because I like more gothic type things.  The crown is from Rock Princess.  

It turned a boring door into something a bit more regal.  :)

Saving for Disney



We have been yearning to go back to Disney World ever since we left there after Thanksgiving.  To save up and keep all the spare change from getting lost in the couch cushions, we are using an old glass bottle from a water cooler.  Although no one in this house needs reminding what the bottle of change is for, I decided to cut out vinyl from the Mickey and Friends cart.  I told the girls that there was a hidden Mickey in the house when they got home from school.  They had fun trying to find it and now the spare change is starting to pile up. 

Challenge Me Monday #51



Here is my submission for this week's challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut.  The challenge is green and gold on a square card.  Somehow out of all my cartridges (which isn't many)  I don't have one that has a shamrock on it.  So I busted out DS and welded three hearts and a "C" together off of the Jubilee cart.  Hope you all like it!  :)

Cutie Patootie Valentine Shirts


I had these two little t-shirts laying around since before Thanksgiving and I had planned on making them for our trip to Disney, but time got away from me.  So I figured I better use them before my two little ones grow out of them.  :)  
Here's an up close of what the hearts look like.  I wanted something a little more than a plain heart so I made it gathered.

I cut a six inch heart out with my cricut.  I traced it onto my heat n' bond and cut it out.  

I then ironed the heart onto the fabric.
Waited until it was cool and then cut the heart out and then peeled the paper backing off.  
I then ironed it onto the t-shirt.  To secure it even more I stitched around the heart.  The other shirt I ran a zig zag stitch around the heart.   I thought this shirt needed something else so I added the wide brown grosgrain ribbon to it.  I, of course, gathered that too.  
To attach, I just ran a stitch down the ribbon and cut the ends to fit to the heart.  And here are the finished shirts.


My two girlies couldn't wait to put them on when they got home from school.  :)

Wacky Wednesday #23-Color Challenge

This is my first Wacky Wednesday Challenge at More Than Favors.  The challenge is to use the colors pink, green and brown.   I cut the boot from the Paisley cart and the flowers were cut from Pagoda.  These were actually the second set of flowers that I picked out to use.  The first bunch looked atrocious when I started putting the card together.  I hate that!  I have something in mind and then it just doesn't look right when I put it together.  But I think these flowers turned out pretty cute.  :)
