Right before my birthday last year I "accidentally" bought a Cricut machine on ebay. Have you ever done that? Put in a price knowing there is NO WAY you'll get it for that cheap, and then won? Well, I won. I didn't have much time to play with it because we ended up moving a month later. The poor machine has just been sitting in it's box. I wasn't too thrilled with it at first, but as I've come to understand it a little better, it's starting to grow on me.
A few months ago I saw a really great deal on transferable vinyl. This is the stuff you can iron on clothes. I bought it thinking I could have some fun with it. Well, it was put aside with the Cricut box to deal with at another time. I FINALLY pulled it out last night to create some one-of-a-kind shirts for the girls for Valentine's Day. After hours of hair pulling last night (and maybe a few tears) I was ready to give up. I'd been practicing on cardstock paper and it just wasn't working out. I said a prayer last night and again this morning, BEGGING that it would work. I know, lame for asking for such a blessing, but thankfully my Heavenly Father knows me and knows how much this type of stuff stresses me out. Gratefully his answer to my prayers was a YES.
What a silly story, I need to just show you the pictures. Sorry for the blah, blah, blah. Without further delay, here are the pictures:
I'm so HAPPY!!!!! I absolutely LOVE the shirts! We have an Anderson Family Reunion coming up in August. I was wanting to make shirts for all the kids, but was a little afraid of how it would work. After making these, I feel a LOT more confident making more. Yipee!!!!!
