Valentine's Day Magnet

I like to give my hubs a Valentine's Day present from our kiddos. My idea was for them to hold a sign looking sweet and with everyone smiling and looking at the camera. Also, with no glass glare. Is that too much to ask?







Obviously, it was too much, so I used a photo shop type program and cropped the best photo of each of my kids from 4 different photos .









Then I grouped them together. It looked better than my original plan. I then printed it on a sheet of magnet paper, cut it out, and it is on my hubs filing cabinet at work. Now he gets to see those four precious faces all day long.

Birthday T-shirt

My first post on this blog. Woo Hoo! I am so excited to start a crafty and creative blog. I hope everyone enjoys it.

I was wanting a fun birthday t-shirt for my little boy. This is what I came up with.

I used wax paper for my stencil. I used my Silhouette (love, love, love) to cut out the circle with the #3 in the middle. You want your design to be cut so it looks correct on the non-shiny side.
Next, I ironed the wax paper shiny side down on my old plain t-shirt.



Then I took silver acrylic paint and mixed with Medium for fabric and started painting. Since I had a dark shirt it took 3 or 4 coats. It took longer than I had hoped.



After letting final coat dry, set the paint according to Medium instructions.
This is the final product.
You may notice the black rings around the silver. Some of the silver bled under the wax paper stencil, so I took a black sharpie and added the black rings I like it better. Some mistakes turn out to be better than the original plan.



I think he looks pretty darn cute!
