I am back!!

Hello my crafty friends,

 I cannot believe I have not posted anything since November 2012.  I started a new position at my job the beginning of last year and took a small break from crafting to absorb my new role. It was not easy staying away from the craft room, each time I passed my craft room I could hear my supplies calling my name, LOL!  So while I was away I still completed a few projects.  I completed two diaper cakes, hosted and coordinated decorations for my family reunion,  coordinated decorations for my niece sweet 16, created Mother’s  Day and Father’s Day gifts for my church, hosted a DIY Christmas ornaments with the kids at my church and most recently completed a towel cake.  As you can see I still hand my hands in the craft room and I am back.

Today I will share my diapers cakes that I created last year.  One is a Teddy Bear-wagon diaper cake for my God-Daughter, husband and baby Maddox.

The second diaper cake was for my sister’s God-daughter and we created a princess diaper cake.

            

I will share I hope you enjoyed and thank you for coming by.

My First Disney T-shirts

Hello my crafty family and friends,

Today I am sharing Disney T-shirts I made for my co-worker Amy.   As you can see they are going to my favorite trip destination Walt Disney World. 

I am so excited for her kids that I asked to sneak me in their suitcase; I will be a quiet tag-a-long..lol.   These t-shirts were easy to make, however getting the stamp of approval from Amy’s daughter Isabella had me sweating.  Amy is a scrapbooker too; I know she will be taking that perfect photo-op to make magical memories.   So, Amy and family have a blast on your first Disney Trip.

Oh What New Things I Have.

Hello my crafty friends,

Today I am sharing t-shirts I made with my two new machines.

I have been researching heat press machines and a new die-cutting machine.  Proworld had a good deal during the Memorial Day weekend, in which you buy a specific amount and get a discount on the heat press machine so I jumped on it.  I was intimidated by the heat press  machine, however after completing my first t-shirt job I asked myself why I did not buy it sooner. 

  

I have been a loyal cricut customer for a long time.  When the company stops supporting non-cricut software it limited my options to design, I started  research on various die-cutting machines.  I gave my husband a wish list for my birthday/Mother’s Day gift. I was very surprised to receive this in the mail Wednesday. 

Even more surprised because I just ordered the Silhoutte Cameo over the holiday weekend.  The Cameo is currently on back-order until the end of June, I will probably cancel that order. 

The KNK-Zing die-cutting machine is the total opposite of the cricut and cutting layout so now I have to retrain my brain..lol.  Making these t-shirts was my first project using both machines.  It is definitely a new learning curve but I absolutely love the way it cuts the vinyl. 

Here are Dr. Seuss’s Thing 1-Thing 6 t-shirts I made for my co-worker.

Gildan Red T-Shirt (youth L,M,S, 3T, 18M, 12M)

I can not wait to try other materials on the KNK Zing.  I am planning to keep my Expression 2 to have more options.  Now on to my vacation t-shirts and reorganizing my scrap office again.

I hope you enjoyed, thank you for stopping by,

Max's Diaper Cake

Hello my crafty friends,

We are still in baby season; here is Prince Maxwell Diaper Cake.  

My cousin absolutely loved it. She did not want to open it.  My sister Athena (Toosie) is learning to make the diaper cakes as well.  When we are finish with all five she will be a pro at it..LOL..Again we added extra perks (outfits, onsies, baby towels and burp clothes) in the cake, so I reminded her to open it..LOL!! I made the baby and his sister t-shirts and monogram piggy banks too.

Happy 5th Birthday Ayanna Boo!!!

Happy 5^th Birthday Ayanna Boo!!!

My youngest niece turned 5 years old yesterday.  She started off the month counting down her birthday and on Tuesday yes said “I can’t wait until tomorrow it is the best day in the universe” and her Auntie agree with her.  She was such a proud princess.  Her classmate sang Happy Birthday to her and then she had her favorite dinner with family and friends.  To top her special night off she enjoyed the family/friends serenading Happy Birthday with cake, cupcakes and ice cream.  By the end of the evening the sugar rush was in full force. LOL.  Here is a t-shirt I made for her.
