I did this t-shirt for a firefighter friend of mine for Christmas! He loves Black Helmet gear and has the same pic, that I put on the back of the t-shirt, on the back window of his pickup. The front is a firefighter logo, but instead of all the fire stuff in the middle, I removed that and put the town name with his name and badge number to personalize it a bit more, he loved it! TFL

More Christmas Projects

There are just a few of the projects I worked on today in between wrapping presents and making Christmas candies! 
The Mug images are two different logos from the video game Black Ops, which my nephews are totally enthralled with.
The Gourmet Doggie treats (which contain no chocolate) are for some sweet little doggies that belong to some family members. I was going to staple them on to the ziplock, but decided to use some mini brads to hold them on instead, that way their owners can easily remove the bone insignia's and use then for a scrapbook or keepsake without damaging them.  The sign is done in aunt Valerie's favorite color - purple~! :)  TFL

KCC Mug

Did a Dollar store mug for Uncle Randy for Christmas.  He is a big Kansas City fan.  Hope he likes it! :)  TFL

Chicken Cross Stitch

Here is a picture of the "Early to Rise" cross stitch picture I did for my boyfriend's mom for Christmas.  She collects roosters and has them all over her house.  Thought this would be a nice addition to her collection.  Sorry about the glare on the glass.   TFL

Above Rubies Studio Give aways!

For all of you who aren't yet familiar with "Above Rubies Studio", here is a really fun and excellent way to get acquainted with it!  Megan is currently having a 7 days of Christmas giveaway and the best part of this giveaway is that the gifts are wrapped presents, so you have to wait with excitement to see what you get, if you are the lucky winner!  How fun!  http://www.aboverubiesstudio.com/blog

More Christmas stuff!

First off I made a floating frame sign, as a Christmas gift, for my aunt Marilyn who loves to cook.

Then I worked on some stocking stuffers for my grandkids.  The Snowman wrapper fits a full size hershey bar and was the friday freebie from My Scrap Chick.  The tic tac cover was just a spur of the moment thing, I just cut the covers and then used the christmas tree from the potpourri basket cartridge.

More Christmas Presents

I love making these signs.  They make wonderful gifts.  The tile was my first try at splitting a font.  I watched Denise's from Paper Pastime's tutorial on the Smartbuygal forum.  She does a wonderful job at explaining how to achieve this effect.  In fact she explains it step by step so there is no mistaking what you need to do next!  This one is for my nephew and his family.  I know you can't see it in the photo but there is a halo over Renae as she passed away when she was a baby.  The halo I did in black as well but it has irridescent stickles on it.

The other two are both for Christmas as well.  One is for my boyfriends oldest daughter and the other is for his cousin who is an avid wine connoisseur.  I just really liked the the saying, though I am not a drinker...it struck me as funny :)  TLF
