Got Spirit?!?

Happy New Year!!!

I know it's been a while since I've posted but things have been crazy busy with the holidays and getting "orders" completed but I think things are finally slowing down and can get back to blogging.

So at work we have a spirit team that is supposed to promote a fun atmosphere at work and plan activites. So of course what better way to do that then have personalized T-shirts???



The design was made on my gypsy and then used the freezer paper method to paint them on the shirts.

Materials:
T-shirts
Fabric Soft Paint
Fabric Paint (for the outline)
Freezer paper
Cricut Gypsy:
* 3 Birds on Parade
* Alphalicious
* Base Camp
* Cursive 101
* George and Basic Shapes
* Opposite Attract
* Zooballo

Then the idea came up to have spirit awards. So of course I'm addicted to making shrinky dinks. Takes me back to my childhood. So why not mimic our shirts and came up with these.



The charms at the bottom can be changed for the year/activiy that the awards are for.

Materials:
Shrinky Dinks (Rough 'n Ready)
Alcohol Inks
Cricut Gypsy:
* 3 Birds on Parade

Thinking of fall

So this weekend I was challenged again (are we seeing a pattern here) LOL to make a card or LO representing fall. Well of course I'm super excited that fall is around the corner that I just took this challenge and ran with it. So for the next few days we will be having some fall over here. Our First fall card is this cute set of thank you cards.

Papercraft Star - Challenge 11

This week's challenge at Papercraft Star was to create something for "back to school". Well being that I don't have any little ones here the "going back to school" routine is a little foreign to me. However, I have lots of friends who are teachers and boy do I admire you all and being able to do what you do. It takes a special person to be able to be a teacher. So this is for all of you teachers out there ......



Teachers you are stars in my book!!!!
