What Do You Make For Your Vacation?

[ARAITHEL]

Here's my "day card" that I will give to all of my travelers and a shirt design I made for the kids. We are a livestock show family and show cattle on a national level, so I made a bull design with a mickey brand. The kids love them. All designs were made with Photoshop. I had the shirts made a cafepress.com and the cards are 4X4" and laminated at my local print shop.

My DH and I always make our shirts, 2008 and 2010 trips we actually turned coloring sheets into iron one and painted the shirts in. When we went in 2011 we went in August and we knew it was going to be hot so I took tank tops and my DH went ahead and wore his favorite shirts from 2010. This trip we wanted to make. We shirts but I didn't want to paint them, so we bought different material and I cut a Mickey head from my cricut and I used iron on fusing and then just outlined them with fabric paint. They turned out really cute. I will try to post pics later. Also we like to make tye dye Mickey head shirts, this year we are making them for the Christmas party so we are making them red and green.

I just finished a countdown calendar. My three little ones fight every morning over who gets to take off the clothes pin.

I can't figure out how to add a photo or I would.

I am also working on t-shirts, luggage tags, autograph books, boarding passes, and welcome letters.

I am still looking for a fairy godmailer to send postcards in the next week but haven't found one yet

Awesome shirts!!!

Would you mind sharing how you did your glittering. It looks so perfect on the round and square shirts you trimmed with glitter.

Thanks

Just saw the question......SORRY....

I took fabric glue....used a lip stick brush and a skewer....it took a while to do them...but so worth it....I have washed them a few times since I've been home and the glitter is coming off....I think it's because I glued on the transfer NOT the shirt material....

I will do it again though....the glitter really sets it off....I used the Tulip glitter and bought the Stretch fabric glue..

I hope that helps...

Very nice glitter shirts! i'm so not crafty, but would love to make special ones for my girls!

I was wondering how I can see and download the images on 4shared? I've been going to these links but nothing shows...I just have a basic accoutn, but it asks me to upgrade to premium.

Thanks!

So are you talking about the tulip glitter glue?

[Headlesshorseman]

I used the tulip glitter and this type of glue...it's made to stretch with the fabric.. http://www.davinciartistsupply.com/i...ns/al702_x.jpg

Good luck....I think I'm "crafty" but I just followed the lines....I will not lie and say it was quick....but I just parked myself in front of the TV and watched my shows. I did do same colors at the same time....
