Two! TWO! Two posts in one!

Hey Krazies -

So I woke up yesterday with tons to do. A baby shower to attend, a gf coming over early evening and another crafty friend coming over to play after dinner.  Instead, I woke up feeling AWFUL - congestion, lil fever, etc.  So I had to cancel the first two events (I'm not getting a pregnant person sick!) and around 8:30 Christie came over (my crafting twin)  and boy did I have a surprise for her!

Hubby hates when I'm sick - he's a very sympathetic nurturing caring guy - I'm so lucky!  I was whining about having to put up another table for Chris to play on and wishing I had one of those fun door/shelf tables so many gals are making - next thing you know - hubbalicious went to the Depot and made my wishful thinking come true!  You saw the post yesterday I won't bore you with more details. I'll bore you with other shiz.

ok so Chris and I had a great time until 2am playing around.  I got the Melamine tape for around the table so you don't have that rough crap - she spent the first hour ironing that on while I bossed her around.  Then she played with the new Pazzles and I was working on projects for this week's posting.

Today you get TWO posts in one cause the project I did for tomorrow is so craptastic that I decided to not even waste video on it and just snap a pic - here ya go!

A garden of Words - This is a Classroom Cartridge so it does not have a project in the binder.  I went to the very first page and did all the cuts on that page.  They were so crapful I didn't want to waste a piece of 12x12 to glue them on. I'm not sure why I bought this cartridge.  Maybe it would work out for a early education teacher, but not a good addition to a scrappers/crafters collection that's for sure.  What cha think?

This next project was fun!  I was going to make the Karen's on our bowling team a cup for their adult beverages they bring every week (on left) they turned out so darn cute I made another set for a friend and her husband (on left)  These were svg's and I used Make the Cut to cut the vinyl.  Filled the cups with candy and waahlaaa - instant cute gift.  I do kinda wish I  had done a shadow layer for the names but ahh they are cute none the less.

There you have it! Your 2, 2, 2 posts in one!

See ya tomorrow with the project from All Sports - LOVE this cartridge!

Hugs and Chirps!

Vinyl projects Cups & Clipboards

 Hello Krazies!

Alas I could not share the Art Philosophy cartridge project with you today. I am having a wee bit of trouble with those roses but hopefull will get to it tomorrow.  I promised you a post today so here it goes.

 Made these mugs for Mom and her Night Attendant Betty.  Mom loves fairy's and Betty loves birds. I just wish I knew where I got that shiney vinyl. Looks blue but it shimmers and I don't remember where it came from. They turned out cute though don'tcha think?

I have 3 girls at work who are my inspectors - they are awesome!  They were carrying around drab clipboards and one day Rolanda tied a ribbon on her's to pretty it up. So I decided to make them clipboards and matching mugs.  Rolanda LOVES peace signs - so that's what I did for her. There is a big peace sign on the back of the clipboard and also on the other side of the mug - I have no idea why I didn't take a photo of that.

This one is mine with the pokie dots!  Oh how I love my polka dots!

Toni loves elephants so this was done for her. Notice the graphic on the back of the board is the same graphic on the cup.  Martha loves flowers and pretties - so this is what I came up with for her.


The girls LOVED their surprises and I loved doing it for them.                              

The cups were purchased online from discountmugs.com  If you buy 24 of them it's 61 bucks (with shipping) so you are looking at 2.50 or so a cup.  If you order 12, it's 58 dollars LOL yeah, I'll take 12 extra for 3 more dollars please.

The clipboards are standard - I think I got them from office depo.  I used DCWV various stacks to decorate the front and back - the bottom borders are from whichever mat stack I used (like the groovy stack for the peace signs, etc)  I used spray adhesive - I just sprayed the clipboard and laid the paper on it then used a craft knife to cut around it.  Of course I used polka dot ribbon silly!  The vinyl..... hmmm...... I get vinyl from everywhere so there is no telling where it came from.  I used MTC and various SVG's (elephant, peace sign and flower) that I found via google.

I hope you enjoyed this post and will be posting again tomorrow.  There WILL be blog candy with the Art Philosophy project post so be sure to come back and leave a comment.  Who wants a fantabulous gift bag from the Circle Crop in February that is full of fun stuff?  If you do, make sure to come back and read all about the Art Philosophy Cartridge.

If you leave a comment here just for giggles - I'd appreciate it :)

Hugs and Chirps!
