"They Say It's Your Birthday!"

"You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too, yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have

a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you!"
                 ~ The Beatles

Do you have it in your head now? If so, GOOD!! Then I'm not the only one!! I had it in my head so much that I just had to listen to it on YouTube while assembling this post- LOL!


I wanted to jump in a few of the fun challenges that are going on right now, so here's my entry hot off the presses (well at least the Stickles are still wet):

 Rocker Girl!!

This card would fit in a business-sized envelope.

Here's a little side view giving a peek

into the greeting on the inside . . .

Can you tell she's a wobblin'?

Maybe not, but she IS on an action wobble!!

Those things are so fun! I'm so glad

Scrappy Moms is carrying them now!

I'm Dreaming of A Vinyl Christmas!

Here are more of my Christmas projects I've done over the last couple of weeks. All of them involved vinyl in some way. Ya think I'm a little addicted???

This charger was for my friend. I totally CASE'd it

from a Cricut MB member named 5 Lil Monkeys'-

THANK YOU!!

Apparently she CASE'd it and added her own twist,

but she doesn't recall where she found it originally. 

No twist for me! I loved this design just as it is. And my

Gypsy and transfer tape made this a pretty easy project!

This was my first attempt at glass etching- a letter E using

the Gypsy Font digital cartridge that was preloaded on my Gypsy.

I haven't etched anything else to date, but I'm

guessing that a thicker glass will produce a better etching.

The ornament glass is super thin.

I wasn't especially fond of the Hallmark Godchild

ornament this year, so I thought I would go another route

for the 3 godkids that came into town this past Summer

and went to Legoland with me and my family.

I purchased a set of 3 Lego Santa ornaments off of eBay.

I had my daughter assemble this Lego for the inside of the

ornament because this recipient is too young for Legos.

Also this ornament would act as a sample for the older 2 kids

to see what their ornament should look like

after they put their Lego together.

I personalized this ornament in red vinyl

with the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.

Here is a view of the Santa Lego assembled.

Here are the 3 ornaments together ready to be put back

in the box- the fully assembled one for Avery and the other

2 for the kids that are old enough to put the Legos together.

I also added tags with a group photo from our

Summer Legoland adventure.

Bath & Body Works had cute mailboxes

with travel-sized holiday bath products in them.

I thought this was perfect for one of our young cousins.

And of course I had to personalize it!

I used the Cricut Alphalicious cartridge for her name.

Maybe she can use the mailbox to hold her valentines.

I also vinyled one of these mailboxes for my older daughter

as she admired it in the store earlier in the season.

The younger daughter got a Bath & Body works gift set

that had the bath products in a mini bath tub- so cute!

I vinyled her name on that, too, but didn't grab

a photo before she took apart the gift set. Oops!

I found these mini ornaments in the dollar section at Michael's.

My nephew plays both of these sports quite intently

so I thought this set was perfect for him.

And, yet again, I had to personalize with my

new favorite crafty medium - VINYL!

I used Plantin Schoolbook for the font cartridge.

Here is a little metal pail that I doctored with vinyl

for my adult niece. I added some Bath & Body Works

mini products-  just a little gift to let her know she is thought of.

The buckle was cut using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge

and the black "belt" was cut using a trimmer.I must say

that putting vinyl on something round like this was a bit tricky!

Ok, that's it for my Christmas projects. I really wanted to personalize all of my gift tags, but ran out of time. I felt really bad about it, but I think my family had a pretty good Christmas even without my personalized tags (sniff, sniff).

I am entering this post in Robin's Creative Cottage Link Up Party! Come join the linking fun! The party ends January 2nd, so pop by soon.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a very Happy New Year celebration all!!
