New tiles for craft show

This past weekend I spent some time designing some new tiles for a craft show I am doing later this month. I hope you like them, Thanks for looking

Lampshade using vinyl and A child's first year

This was a fun project. It was also the first time I wish I had design studio. I would have been able to get the images to scale. The images are just cut on white vinyl and placed on the inside of the shade. When the light is turned off, you don't even notice that they are there. Thanks for looking

Survivor Tile

Happy Sunday everyone. The weekends sure do go by quickly. I just wanted to share a tile I made yesterday for a friend battling breast cancer. Sadly, I need to make a couple more of these. I'm not very good at the designing part. This had so many words and I knew it might be difficult to weed so I kept the fonts very simple. I still managed to loose a comma or two and all the "I"'s are not dotted. I hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by.

A couple more tiles

I really haven't been slackin' everyone. Have lots of pictures I need to get on here and will try to catch up over the next few days. But for now here are a couple of tiles I did last night. These are not my designs, but were purchased from myvinyldesigner.com. They have some really nice pre-designed svg's.
Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.

My First tile with vinyl

After 2 weeks of total frustration, about 3 yards of wasted vinyl, it's all starting to come together. I never thought I would get the settings to where it would work. Most people are using 3 for pressure and 3 for blade depth, but I had to go with 6 for blade depth and 2 for pressure to get that kiss cut. It made all the difference in the world. Weeding is now so easy. Hopefully, my frustration on trying to learn inkscape will not last so long. This particular design was purchased from myvinyldesigner.com Thanks for looking

Scrapbook layout of my grandson Bobby

I made this layout for a contest at a local scrapbooking store. The picture of my grandson had an old world feel to it...so that's what I tried to go with. The paper is all Graphic 45 .Communique collection, the corrogated cardboard pieces were torn from an old box and inked up. The chipboard letters have been in my stash for years and just about everything else is Tim Holtz. I received a phone call last night telling me I won first place. I was pretty excited. The prize is the Cricut Create.

An altered letter

I altered this paper mache letter using Graphic 45 Jack and Jill, from the playtime past collection. Graphic 45 has become my most favorite paper. This was a real simple project, using mod podge and adding a few buttons and a tag from the same paper line. Thanks for stopping by!
