Would You Ever Guess Wednesday?!

Okay, I have to be honest, I'm a bit behind!  This holiday season is really kicking my butt!  My little one was home last week with a nasty virus, and as you can image, that just set me back with all my other "stuff".  I kept her home and she's doing much better!
Family always comes first!
That being said, my post for this weeks Would You Guess Wednesday?!, is rather simple.  I used the font on the Car Decals Cartridge to make a page title.  I used to hand-write letters like this "back in the day", while sitting in chemistry class doodling my boyfriend's name all over my notebook!

I also created 36 glasses for a local Veteran's Army/Navy Game celebration.  Each glass was being sold to raise money for the groups future endeavors.  A wonderful Army Sgt. asked me to create these glasses, half said BEAT ARMY and half said BEAT NAVY, so when you are drinking from the glass, the person sitting across from you sees who you're cheering for!  Cute huh!
I used blue and green vinyl to cut each word, then weld each letter together using my Gypsy.  I also used Pebeo Medium Brilliant Gloss Medium.  I painted on four coats of medium and then waited 24 hours between each coat, finally you have to bake the glasses for 40 minutes in order for them to become "permanent" and withstand dishwasher heat.  I think they look pretty good!

Card Creating Tuesday!

Sometimes, it's the simplicity of just creating something so basic that is beautiful!  I often forget that I don't need to over embellish, or glitter something to death.  A simple shape, a rectangle can be folded, and twisted and made into something pretty amazing.  I am making a scrapbook for someone and made this "card" on a page.  I used George Basic Shapes.  I stretched out a rectangle on my Gypsy and cut 2 long rectangles, scored them on my Martha Stewart Score Board and accordion folded them together, to make a card album on a page.  I cut the page protector in order for the card to be interactive and so that you wouldn't have to take the page in and out each time you wanted to see the pictures in the card.
