Turkey Wall Vinyl

As many of you know I have a Cricut wall that I change with the holiday or occasion. For Thanksgiving I created a Turkey banner "Gobble till you wobble" Because thats what we do right? Ok maybe its just me then LOL....

The circle challenge is to have two elements a type of bird and stitching of some kind. So I made this out of vinyl, ribbon, rhinestones, and used my white gel pen for the stitching.

I used Don Juan, Create a Critter, Designers Calendar and Gypsy Font. This project spans approximatley 2 feet by 2 1/2 feet

Challenge for Jinger !!!

The Challenge was to make a layout about enjoying ice cream! So I had my little girls dress up like little girls like too and let them eat ice cream! Normally we use pretend ice cream, but for the occasion we used my daughters favorite Neapolitan !!

It was quite the challenge for me to make the shaker cup I created. I used my Gypsy, Gypsy Wanderings, George, and DonJuan. Since I'm not really skilled at the gypsy it took me an hour to design it to cut just right LOL.

Cindy Loo was used for the font. Sweet Treats and Indie Art for the ice cream and Home Decor for the cherries on the top! Of course ice cream needs topped with a sweet cherry...and what's sweeter than my girls? I used the centerpoint feature for this.

I used stickles, Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch, Rhinestones, and glass beads! I pop doted everything but the letters and background !!!Enjoy !!!
