Another T-shirt Adventure

So my friend Margaret is down in Texas having Sister's week. She thought it would be cool if all 5 sisters had a shirt to commemorate their time. She asked me to help her make shirts. I've made some before but just one or two at a time. This was 5 and it was front and back. Boy did this turn into an Adventure for us both. We laughed a lot and sure prayed a lot. I think Marge worked her fingers to the bone. It was great though to spend time together, a day and a bit. Below is the finished product. I used my Cricut Imagine Best Friends Cart for the dolls and to flood fill the font on Cricut Storybook. I hope the ladies enjoy the shirts.

Doesn't she look marvelous!

Thanks for looking!

Red White and Blue Challenge

I decided to participate in the Red White and Blue Challenge over there on the Pink By Design Forum.

I had fun and this took me a couple of days. I just finished it. I'm gonna list this on Scrapbook.com with all the products that I used. Some things I will quickly mention was Tim Holtz Idea-ology items and my Cricut Imagine.. JT Art and Stand And Salute cart.
Thanks for looking.
Happy Memorial Day.
Happy Scrappn.

My next set of Iron-On Shirts for a baby shower

I didn't want to get depressed. I lost my job this week after 8 years. They just decided to eliminate.. Computer Admin. So if they aren't ... replacing me.. who is gonna do the backups , updates new purchases and the gazillion other things  I did daily. Hmm They said to clean out my office the next day. Hmmm Ok what's the rush. Hmm and they don't pay into unemployment. Luckily I will get a severance check.
So since I had already purchased the shirts to go to this shower...the daughter of a former coworker.. I thought what the heck Lets go!
So I doctored up the onesies. The sun was not shining well for me today. LOL

My entry for Creative Time for Me

Emma is using Celebrations again for a super cute Christmas theme.
Check out her blog at: http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2010/10/throwback-thursday-challenge-christmas.html

I used my Cricut Celebrations Cartridge ON MY GYPSY. (Love it!)
I used Cottage Cutz & Peachy Keen Stamps in their special Duo called Penguin Doll. (too adorable)
I used the set of stamps called Christmas Wishes from Pink by Design. (love them)
Then I used some Karen Foster ribbon, My IROCK to bling my Penguin up from the collection of Hot Rocks Compact Jewels, black Bic Mark*it marker, Copic Markers 100,E00,and RV11, and Chalk.

Wrapped in Joy

This was fun.

My First EVER IRON ON T-SHIRTS using the Imagine!

I've seen so many cute shirts out there. I thought I'll give it a shot! I am showing the item I bought at Michaels and the 2 shirts I made for my nephew Kai. He was born on Halloween. He will be 3.  I'm waiting for JT and the Carnival carts to arrive so in the meantime I am playing with what I got. The first shirt I used Imagine More. The second shirt I plugged in Life is a Beach and flood filled from Imagine More. Today Michaels has that coupon for items that are onsale so  I might get some more shirts cuz I think my niece needs some shirts as well. I had problems with this FUSE sticking to the mat. The second shirt I had to hit stop and manually cut out all the elements. Hmm wonder how I can get it to stick better hmm.

Bought at my local Michaels

That's all for now. I hope the colors show. I did take the pics outside.

Here are some Images of things I cut out using the layer feature on the Imagine when I first got it.
