Heat Transfer Vinyl Back Packs

My grandkids took advantage of the free back packs from our local McDonalds.  They are all identical and we have 4 school agers in my house so of course grammy had to make them recognizable to each child by putting their names on them with HTV.  Sorry the pic is so bad...they are really vibrant in person, the colors the kids chose for their backpacks were Silver, Red, Neon pink and neon green.  Nothing special, just their names, but I am happy with how they turned out.  TFL

Sharpie Marker Tye Dye

Ran across a cool little pic on Pinterest that I just knew I had to try with my grandkids.  Sharpie Marker Tye Dye.  It was super simple and the kids had a blast with it.  All it takes is sharpies, a white shirt, red solo cups, rubber bands, an eye dropper (I used an old medicine dropper), some rubbing alcohol and a little imagination.  The shirts of course varied in art skills with the ages. I loved how they all turned out, but was pretty impressed with the Poke balls that my grandson drew on his, though it is hard to make them out in the pic, they are very cool in person, they turned out so neat looking lol.  The second one was done by my 6 yr old grand daughter, she made a catepillar, though it's hard to see his little face lol, the third was done by my 5 yr old gd.  She asked for help with the leaves, but the flowers was all her own artwork.  My 4 yr old did the circles for what was to be her kite... lol but she accidentally flipped her shirt in half.. so we have some interesting markings, but she still had fun.  TFL  Oh btw, the mess was very very minimal, almost non existent because all of the alcohol is caught in the solo cups.

Unicorn Pillow Pet

My grandaughter just turned 4 this July.  When I asked her what she wanted for her birthday she said she wanted a pillow like her brother's because it's soft and he never shares it with her.  When my grandson turned three, (7 years ago) I crocheted him a doggy pillow and he still sleeps with it today!  So off I went to the world wide web in search of the perfect pattern to fill her request!  I found the perfect pattern for a cute little unicorn pillow pet on the Crafty-Anna Blogspot.  Well it was a little boyish looking to me and this was for my darling lil girly girl grandaughter so I changed colors, and made my own mane and tail, as I didn't care for the mane and tale that went with the pattern.  I also modified the body as I wanted a pillow and not the fold up pillow pet.  Anyway this is how it turned out and she is tickled pink with it.. no pun intended.  :)  TFL

Mugs

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...life has been so hectic.  I have had these mugs done for quite a while, just haven't found time until now to post them.
The first set was done for some friends of my daughter who are very into playing the game "War Commander on Facebook. Their alliance is called "The Grey Star Alliance" and a few of the members wanted to have a mug to commemorate thier game status, so here is the pic of those:

Nurses Week Card

Nurses day is coming up and one of my clients asked me to make a card for the nurse at her school. This is what I came up with. The Nurse hat shape came from Cricut Critter Scrapping Heaven and the Syringe came from Cre8ive Cuts. I initially cut the hat shape card out but it didn't match up no matter how much I tried and trimmed. I think what may have happened is that the creator forgot to flip one of the hat shapes so that they would match up when folded...but I was able to take the top cut and flip it to make my own card shape from that. The syring base is actually silver irridescent paper from Crayola...but when I used the flash, I got this rainbow of colors. TFL

Spring, Easter Cake

Ok, so my grandaughters and I were surfing the web to find a fun easter cake for them to attempt when we came across the Spring cake with the easter peeps.  They fell in love with it and so today grammy supervised as my 3, 4 and 6 year old grandaughters made the cake and waited for it to cool.  Then their brother, 9, frosted it and placed the peep chicks in their rightful places.  The girls then took over to finish the center of the flower by sprinkling mini chocolate chips in for the seeds.  They made the entire cake, start to finish....not bad for their first try :)  TFL
