Girls Just Wanna Have Sun!

I found this cool pool chair towel at Wal-Mart

So many cool features!

I wanted to add a little bit more to make it summer ready.

I grabbed my Silhouette and heat transfer fabric and did this

Now it's ready to hit the pool and soak up some sun!

Date Night!

Have you seen all the fun date night packet ideas on Pinterest?

My friend is getting married so I thought it would be fun to put together 

a date night box for her and her soon to be husband.

I went to the dollar store and just browsed the aisles for 

ANYTHING I thought would be fun.

I also hit up the dollar aisle at Target.

I grabbed some envelopes at the dollar store to put everything in.

Here's all the dates I came up with

I got the 20 Good Date Questions for Married Couples to Ask Each Other

HERE

I also included a list of 50 Fun Date Ideas. I came up with some on my own and

the others came from Six Sister's Stuff.

I made all the tags and instructions on my Silhouette.

I think I want to make one for me now! 

Missionary Sign

My brother left to go on his mission 6 weeks ago.

I found this quote on Pinterest and LOVED it.

So, I made my own sign for a Mother's Day present for my mom.

I made it out of a canvas board I bought at Hob Lob.

  I Mod Podged some scrapbook paper onto it

then used my Silhouette to cut out the words onto black vinyl 

and as easy as 1,2,3 it was done!

Now we just need a picture of my bro to put beside it!

Baby Gift

My friend had a little girl not too long ago

This was my present I gave her

I went to WalMart and bought the shirt and skirt

I got out my Silhouette and found the cute butterfly pattern

I then used my Rhinestone kit! 

I got the flower and head band from Hobby Lobby

There you have it!

A super cute, easy gift!

This Night is Sparklin!

I finally got the chance to go to see T-Swift! I got my tickets in March and the concert was Sept. 28th! That's a long time to be excited! I started making plans for a T-shirt....ha ha! the day I got my tickets.

             Here's what I came up with

           Front: Taylor's signature hand signal

       and.....

  

the back

  Her name.... of course and her favorite number.

I cut out the letters and numbers using freezer paper on my Silhouette. For the hands, I googled "heart hands" very descriptive....I know. I found a picture I wanted, traced it onto freezer paper, then cut it out using an Exacto knife. I used the technique that Cheri from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar uses.

 Iron the freezer paper onto the shirt. I painted it first using black paint. I didn't have a ton of glitter (which is the next step) so the paint was necessary for this project to succeed....and the glitter of course.

Next is the fun step. After the paint has dried, spread on glitter bond glue, sprinkle on as much glitter as you like then shake off the extra.

Whala....you have a sparkly shirt fit for a shiny, sparkling night out!

Yep... we went there. We're easy, we're breezy, we're beautiful, we're Covergirls!

And the moment we were all way to overly excited for.....

BEST NIGHT EVER! She is awesome! We had a great time! Thanks to whoever created glitter, thanks to my sis and friend Lori for going with me and singing at the top of our lungs, and thanks Taylor for being an awesome person and writing about my life!

Harry Potter Shirts/Memories

I still can't believe it's all over! Harry Potter has been apart of our lives for so long. Yes, I'm a fan. Yes, I've read every book multiple times, seen every movie and cried through almost the entire last movie. I have a crush on Ron Weasley, and WILL go to Harry Potter land some day.

As a Harry Potter fan it was my duty to make something festive for the occasion.  This is what conjured up with a little bit o' magic.

I used my wand Silhouette to create this. I cut the image out on freezer paper, then ironed it onto my shirt as a stencil. I decided to use glitter instead of paint to make it look all magical. I used the freezer paper stenciling technique. There are a lot of good tutorials out there for freezer paper stenciling if you don't know how to do it. I bought this Tulip Glitter Bond to apply the glitter.

Basically I just rubbed the bond onto the shirt making sure to get it all even, then sprinkled away with my glitter. I peeled off the stencil as soon as I was done and it came off really well, no cracking or peeling of the design. It was kinda of a big huge giant bogey to do. Some of the writing was really detailed and it was a pain to peel off the stencil around those parts, but so worth it in the end.

 Hailey got her and I some Harry Potter glasses and wands! She had Hermione's (until she lost it at the movie theater) and I have Ron's. Here's when we got home, one lost wand later.

Here is a close up:

We love you Harry! Thanks for so many magical memories! Our true home will always be Hogwarts as well!

Spiced up plant

My mom got this plant and watering can at IKEA for a friends birthday. 

We decided to spice it up a bit.

 I found the images on my Silhouette, then cut it out on vinyl. 

Super easy and adds a little something special.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

We went to a Dodger's game when we went to Cali this summer. I found a cute baseball image on the Silhouette store and bought it to make a shirt or hat.

I decided to make shirts for the game!

When I bought my Silhouette, I got the heat transfer material with it. I tried it out for this project. It was so easy! Cut and iron!

We got to the game 3 hours early to get these bad boys......

They are bobble heads...of who I don't even remember. The Dodger fans seemed pretty stoked about it. The player was Hall of Famish and was there at the game. It was a pretty big deal for the ole' Dodgers.

   and....

    my dad

Yep!  He is proud of his bobble head! I think this was the highlight of his trip!

      Thanks for a fun night Dodgers! Play Ball!
