My youngest sister has been painting on clothing for me for a few years! However, she moved to North Carolina and I wanted to make a personalized denim jacket for Marlee. Someone suggested using denim patches or iron-on vinyl… but I think that fabric paint might last longer. Now, I’m not an artist like my sister and I have shaky hands. Getting it to look right was my problem! I thought about a stencil but I wanted to make sure it didn’t move. I’ve seen projects on Pinterest where they used removable vinyl as the stencil. So I had to give it a try! The design I wanted wasn’t that big and I knew this was the perfect project for my new Cricut Joy!
I got a head start shopping for the kids’ Valentine’s Day gift baskets this year. Good thing I did, because I went last minute shopping for Maya’s class on Wednesday and there wasn’t much left! I love shopping at the Dollar Tree and Target Dollar Spot for basket fillers! I was able to find all their favorite treats and the cutest toys! Since I had some time on my hands yesterday, I decided to craft with my Cricut! I added their name on their baskets and made some personalized tees for the girls.
We decided to do a little something different for our family photo shoot for the Holidays this year. I used to stress about outfits and making sure I picked out clothing that my kids would be comfortable wearing. If you have kids, you know it’s a struggle to get them all dressed up. LOL. So I decided to just go trendy & casual this year. We skipped the dresses and button-up shirts. We wanted our personality and FOREVER VIBE to show through our pictures.
