Sesame Street

I guess I was on a Sesame Street Kick tonight.

My assistant wanted an Elmo for her grandson's room.  He loves him some Elmo!!  This guy is about 11 x 14.  I got the file from Mary (Mardenz)  You can find the SVG here, along with a couple more of Elmo, Zoe and cookie monster!!


I also made an apron for a friend who invites us out for trash can dinner every year during the annual Northwestern Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion.  It is a big deal in Rollag, Minnesota every Labor Day weekend.  If you are into steam engines and history, and find yourself in the area Labor Day weekend, it is a MUST see.  A very cool weekend with a very cool bunch of people.  Anyway, his wife bought the apron and I dressed it up with some heat transfer vinyl.  I made the file but I am unable to share it here as Oscar is a licensed character and I do not want the Sesame Street Police coming after me!!  The font is LD Note Pad from Lettering Delights.  You can pick it up for $3 here.  (If you wait until it goes on sale you can get it for $1.)

Thanks for looking!!

A Teacher Gift

BEFORE:

AFTER: 

Just add a litle heat transfer vinyl and this cute little bag looks great!!  What a great teacher gift, and so easy!!

T-shirt for the Hubby

I made a t-shirt for the hubby with heat tranfer vinyl.  The graphic matches his snowmobile windshield and the saying is a poker related.  We enjoy playing a little poker with friends from time to time, so this seemed fitting!!  It says:  "Nice Hand, Sir! (And by hand I mean catch, and by Sir I mean moron.)"
I think he likes the shirt, but the blue is a little bright for him.  Can't win them all!!
Thanks for looking.

A couple Toddler Shirts

I made a few things for my friend's daughter using heat transfer vinyl.  Gotta love that stuff!!
Font on the blue and brown outfit is Mr. Giggles.  Thanks for looking

Our Little Angel!!

We picked up this shirt with the angel wings already on in the dollar aisle at Target for $1.  We used heat tranfer vinyl and the font AR Decode (see this post) to make sure the world knew he was Macy's little angel!!  (Macy is my daughter!)  AR Decode cut and weeded like a dream.  I highly recomend it for your vinyl projects!! 

Here he is sporting his new duds.  His name is Marley and he is a cavachon.  (Cavilier King Charles Spaniel /Bichon cross).  Thanks for looking.

School Spirit Shirt

I will blame this t-shirt on the weather, the GREAT weather we are having. I live in Northern Minnesota and it is going to hit 80 tomorrow. We'll take it!

Tomorrow is spirit day at school and the only school color garb my daughter has are sweatshirts. Ya can't send your kid to school in a sweatshirt when it is 80 degrees outside. A little heat transfer vinyl took care of that. Yes our team name is the Spuds, it is true. Ya gotta be tough to be a vegetable!! The font is Mr. Giggles, my new fav!! Thanks for looking.

GO SPUDS!!

Let's Go To Disney!!

My daughter is going on a Disney Cruise and then spending a few days in Disney World with her Dad, her aunt and uncle and two of her younger cousins. We thought she should have a couple t-shirts to take with her, and we could not leave the little ones out!!

The biggest challenge in this project was finding toddler sized t-shirts with nothing on them. It is safe to say there are no summer clothes left in Minnesota!! Once I did find them, I hit the jackpot though, .99 each, yahoo!! At that price, they got a pair to shorts to match!!

We made the top shirt for Macy (my daughter) to wear at Disney World. She placed, layered and applied all of the vinyl in this one. I am so proud of her, she did such an awesome job. Not bad for a nine-year old. The next ones are for Macy and her cousins to wear on their cruise. The Wonder, Dream and Magic are the names of the Disney ships. We put their last names on the back.

My hubby is gone this weekend on a motorcycle trip and my daughter leaves for Florida after her game tomorrow. What that means is I have 26 hours alone in my house.

What shall I do . . . hmmmmmm . . .

I Love Heat Transfer Vinyl

If you have never tried heat transfer vinyl, get some. Coolest stuff ever and soooo much fun. Here are a couple of shirts I made with it. Oh the options are endless. The black one was for my four-year old niece who came to town this summer from South Lake Tahoe and loves to go fishing in Minnesota with "fishing grandma and grandpa." This one is priceless. The other one I made for my nine-year old daughter, my soccer player.
