Glass Cutting boards

Have you seen these little glass cutting boards? 

 I absolutely LOVE them.

They come in square and Circle.

I flipped the design before I cut it out.  Then applied it to the back of the cutting boards.

I personalized one for my sister for a small wedding gift.

It was hard taking pictures of these since they are clear. 

But thanks for stopping by and taking a look. 

Hardships 12x12 tile

Hello, Today I want to show you a 12x12 tile I did up.

There is a local police officer fighting cancer and they are doing a fundraiser dinner and silent auction.  I'm going to donate this tile.  I thought this saying was fitting for the circumstances.

I've gotten so good a weeding the vinyl I'm thinking about doing a video showing you how I do it....

Anyways, thanks for stopping in to take a look.  

Teacher's name Wooden sign

Hello and Happy Sunday!

Today I wanted to show you a wooden sign I made for a teacher friend of mine. 

This gal has been through so much and fought so hard to get where she is today and I'm so proud and happy for her.

I love working with wood and building things. So I made her this name sign out of wood.  

                        I cut  a 2x4 and then cut a point out of the top all with my miter saw.

Then I painted it.  I painted both sides of the sign so no matter where she put it her name can be seen.

I then wrap some twine around the end by the eraser to give it some texture. 

I really loved making this sign.  I think I might try my hand at some more wood projects!!

Well thanks for stopping in and taking a look, come back again soon!

I am as Lucky as can be....

Hi! I hope you've had an enjoyable Sunday.

I wanted to share a quick project I did for a cousin for Father's Day.

Of course there needs to be a photo in the center, it was added later.

In case you can't read it, it says; 

I'm as lucky as can be

the Best Daddy in the world belongs to me!

I think it turned out super cute and it was quick and easy to make!

Thanks for stopping by, come back again soon!

                                                                       

Super Avid Card

Hi! So much going on these days. 

 I can't seem to craft and blog at the same time.  I either blog or I craft. 

 Well your in luck, and today is blog day. LOL!

So my son is in a school program called Avid.  He absolutely loves his Avid teacher and wanted me to make her something special for the end of the year.  Of course this is the night before (sigh*).

I went with the A in the Super Man shield.

Then I made her a tumbler.  What teacher can't use a Tumbler especially when it has her name on it! 

I hope that she liked it.  

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  I have lots more to show you so come back again soon!!

Hello Everyone!

Today I wanted to show you a tile I did for a friend.  These are 6x6 ceramic tiles that you can purchase at your local hardware store.

I created the word file myself in Silhouette Studio (Designer's Edition).

I cut out the vinyl and transferred it to the tile.

I think that they turned out really nice.  She was giving them as gifts.

Well thanks for stopping by to take a look, come back again soon.

Green Bay Packers Bottle Light

Hi I'm back with another Bottle light.  This one is, well, the Green Bay packers!

This started as a plain green wine bottle.

I used the Frosted spray paint to give it a soft look.

Drilled a hole in the back and strung in some Christmas lights.

Then added some vinyl and a bow.

Well thanks for stopping by and taking a look, come back again soon.

Hello and Happy Monday! (If there is such a thing, LOL)  

I have been super busy crafting, daily for months.  I have so many things to show you.

I don't hardly know where to start.  A lot of things are Christmas, so sorry I'm a little behind.

 The first thing today are these Christmas Ornaments.

They start out as clear glass ornaments.

Then I coat the inside of the ornament with a wax floor care.
Make sure you pour out all excess floor wax.

Then I pour in the Glitter.
You want to just rolled around the ornament until the whole thing is coated with glitter. Then you can pour out the excess glitter to use at a later date.

Now your ornament is ready to decorate.
This is the sentiment that is mostly use.  I use my Cameo to cut out with vinyl. Then I tie a little toole around the top.

This ornament was made for a gal who just lost her dad.

These ornaments look pretty in any color glitter and are so much fun to make.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look, please come back again soon!!  

Play Ball Bottle light

Hello and Happy Saturday!

So I've been making these wine bottle lights but, since I don't drink, I asked a friend who waitresses at PF Changs to pick me up some bottles and this was on of the ones she brought me.
My son loved it. So I made it for him.

He is 12 years old and a HUGE Baseball player/fan.  

I spray the bottle with this Frosted glass spray 

to give the bottle a "frosted" look.  It softens up the light.

I drilled a small hole in the bottom back of the bottle 

and strung a 20 light sting of white lights in.  

Used some vinyl to decorate and a ribbon to top if off.

Well thanks for stopping by to take a look, come back again soon!!

                                                                      

Calendar

Hi! So you know those ugly black calendars you can get at the $1 store? 

 I love the insides, they usually are fine, its a calendar.  

But the outsides of them are so boring.

So this year I decided to make mine a calendar I wanted to carry around.  

My newest thing is chevrons.  I just cannot get enough of them.

I used pink, white and black vinyl.  The saying is from the Silhouette Store.

Isn't it cool?

Then I noticed with all the extra vinyl it helps reinforce it.  

Since I carry it everywhere,

 I need all the extra support I can get

  

So there you have it! My Calendar.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!!

Stand Ye In Holy Places

Hello! Happy Hump day!

I have another bottle I wanted to share with you today.  I'm so hooked on these bottle lights. 

This one the inspiration came from a church calling that I have.  This years theme is to "Stand ye in Holy Places, and be not moved"

The Vinyl cuts all came from the Silhouette Store.  The little bunch of White berries are from Michael s and then I just used White Toole for the bow. Easy Peasy!

Thanks for taking time to stop by and take a look!  Do you make Bottle lights? If so, I'd love to see them so send me a link. See ya soon!!

My Little "Criminal"

                           

Hello and Happy Saturday!  

Today I'm meeting with the Sister's from my church to craft and I'm super excited.  

But first I wanted to show you a notebook I made for daughter,

 the Yuma High School Criminal.

My daughter is a freshman at Yuma High School.  Back when Yuma High was young like 1920's it caught fire.  The students couldn't meet there so they ended up meeting in the old Territorial prison that was closed down.  Well when other sports teams would come to town to play YHS they would call them criminals because they were in a Jail.  Well the name has stuck with the school ever since.

Besides the fact I attended High School at YHS's rivalry school across town I have grown to like this school too.

So my daughter needed a composition notebook decorated for a class at school and all the kids were required to take one in.  So I made hers undeniably hers.

I love decorating these kinds of books and  I love how this one turned out.  I used my Silhouette Cameo for the logo and name and the background shape cut I believe is from my Cricut.

Well thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Please, come back anytime!

Wine Bottle Lights

Hi and Happy Fall, I guess it's fall?  

Its still in the 90's here in AZ and I couldn't believe 

I had my A/C on in the middle of November.

So my latest venture has been turning wine/Alcohol bottles into lights.  They are so much fun and super easy to do.

The first problem I had though with this project is I'm not a drinker, at all.  So who was going to drink all this wine/Alcohol?  Not anyone I knew really so I had to looks else where.

I remembered that every time we go to Olive Garden they always ask if we want a sample of wine.  So that's where I went.  

The manager was super nice and was able on the spot to pick me up 15 bottles.  So in return I told him I would make him a light and to let me know what themed light he would want.  He then told me to come back in a couple days and he would have more bottles, so I did.  My kitchen table was covered in wine bottles, LOL.  I asked him on the second trip what theme he'd decided on and he said that since they were Olive Garden bottles that I should make one for the Olive Garden, so I did.  But I thought it was super nice of him to not take the bottle for himself so I made one for him as well.

Here is the Olive Garden one (plugged in)....

I made the Olive Garden Logo using my Silhouette Cameo.  Bought the grapes from Michael's and wrapped it all up with some raffia I had on hand.

Here is what it looks like when it's not plugged in.....

Ok so the Manager said he liked the 49ers, so I found a logo and worked with it the best I could and came up with this.  It seemed rather plain for me but if I added too much more to it I was afraid it would look too feminine. 

Here it is plugged in....

When I brought the bottles back for him to see what I do with them I couldn't believe how excited they all were.  All the employees were coming over and trying to call dibs on the SF one, LOL.   So needless to say if and when I need more bottles I think I shouldn't have a problem getting some. Thanks Olive Garden!!  And thank you for stopping in and taking a look.  Hope you come back again soon.
