Spray Painted 4th of July Shirts I love making shirts for my kids, especially for the 4th of July. It’s fun to have them wear it to the parade. This year I decided that it would be fun to let them make their own shirts instead of me making it for them. Sometimes it’s hard…

Father’s Day Footprint Shirt {Cartridge giveaway}
Every year I like to make my husband a shirt for Father’s Day. I usually do handprints, but my little baby is only 6 weeks old and he is still in the tight fist stage. It would be super hard to get him to open his hand. So I decided to do footprints instead. I…
Past Father’s Day Shirts

Choo Choo Train Shirt
I have a little guy that is obsessed with trains. I made him a train shirt last year but he got too big, so he requested a new one. I thought it would be fun to use Cricut’s new iron on vinyl and the fun colors they have to make a colorful train shirt. This…
Mustache Onesie
One of my favorite things about iron-on vinyl is that you can change a plain white shirt and make it super cute! With a baby coming very soon, I thought it would be fun to spruce up one of his plain white onesies. I got to try some fun colors of Cricut’s new iron on…

Train Birthday Shirt
Every birthday I make a birthday shirt for my kids. They usually have a big number on them and then some kind of saying or something. I wanted to do that for my son, but he thinks that he is turning 5 this year (he’s turning 4) and so I couldn’t put a big 4…
Ruffle Heart Shirt
Valentine’s Day…. I’m not a huge fan of the day. I don’t usually do much for it, but this year creating is what is keeping me going, so I decided to make a fun shirt for my little girl. I wanted it to be for Valentine’s day but not so much that she couldn’t wear…

Birthdays

Star Wars Pajamas
One day I read on a blog that JoAnn’s fabric had Star Wars fabric. I’ve been looking for it for awhile now, since my 5 year old loves Star Wars. So I decided to go to JoAnn’s and check it out. I went in that day, so I had to take my kids. I would…
Butterfly shirt
By now, you know that one of my favorite things to do is take a plain shirt and put some heat transfer on it and give it new life! It’s super easy to do and I feel like I get new clothes! This is how I made it: 1) With my CAMEO I cut…

NEON Polka Dot Shirt

Does anyone else just want a change sometimes? Some days I just want to go to my closest and throw away everything and just get new clothes. Lately I have been really wanting some kind of change. I don’t want to dye or cut my hair but I want a different look. I don’t want…
