Loving the Christmas Projects

So many people were making these, and it looked so easy that I had to give it a try. Super easy! Super quick! and Gorgeous! I made these in under 30 minutes for each of the kids and my mom. We put them on the tree just in time for Christmas...

Just take a glass ornament ball (I got mine at Michael's) put a few drops of ink from a re-inker - or alcohol inks. Swirl it around until it completely coats the inside of the ball. Then add some glitter. Cover the top of the ball with your thumb and shake it baby! I finished each one off with a vinyl cut of their names using fonts "Grinched", "Curlz", and "MC Twinkle Star". What do you think??

Christmas Ornaments and SVG's

I have been really busy as of late! I've made so many things and have so many more to go - and the clock is just ticking away. I need to slow down and enjoy a little bit more of the "Christmas" spirit and not so much "rush"...

I used vinyl on both sides of these little glass ornaments that I picked up at Michaels. I also put a little bit of fake snow inside, along with a small cut of something Christmasy - like a stocking, star or toy.

Everyone had matching ribbons to hang the ornaments with.

A better glimpse of the type of decoration I placed inside the ball.

These were super fun to make and really easy! We'll be mailing most of these out this week, and hope that they get there in time for Christmas.

I also did a very rough cut of one of the churches from the Winter Wonderland cartridge. These are so stinkin' cute! I haven't made a bigger one yet - but I can see so much potential for decorating these. Something for every season!

This last weekend I was asked to help with the ward "Super Saturday" and we made some signs with vinyl on them. I totally scored with the vinyl as I called a local sign shop and they said I could come pick up some scraps for FREE! There was quite a bit of it there - and certainly more than enough to cut for the signs were were making. Here are some samples of our finished projects...

They turned out so well! The girls making them wanted to have another sign making activity with some ideas for Family Home Evening boards.

I was playing around tonight too and made a few svgs. I haven't test cut them - so if you download them, please leave me a note to tell me if they work or not.
