Super Hero

Carson totally loves SUPER WHY, the cartoon. Super Why is one of those shows that I actually love too-it does a good job teaching something. Carson has learned almost his whole alphabet thanks to Super Why. He LOVES it. So natuarlly I thought it would be awesome to make him his own Super Why cape and mask as a Christmas gift. So that I did. Same colors as Super Why's and everything. I did add a C on the back for Carson.


All I can say is that its a good thing someone loves it-unfortunately that someone is me! Carson totally gets that its "Super Why" but wants nothing to do with it. Sad huh?! Oh well. It was good practice and maybe he'll change his mind one of these days!

"One" board

This project was free, as I already had all materials needed, wooden boards, paint, Cricut, make the cut etc. This quote is all the rage at Deseret Book right now-that's where I found it. So maybe this project is illegal... I don't know but oh well.

I made these this year as part of a Christmas project. Easy as pie...
I painted my boards the color I wanted the lettering (Off white on board below)
I used my cricut + make the cut to print the lettering. Put it on the boards.
I painted over the lettering the final color of the board (red on board below)
After letting paint dry, I peeled off the lettering which revelaed the off-white letters


This one was the same concept-except no painting involved. I just printed out the vinyl lettering and put it on the charger.

I wanted to do some "home made" gifts for our family gift exchanges this year. Both families that we had (Petersens and DeMoss) have little girls in their families and I had found this cute "pattern" on line. Since I don't have any girls it is always fun to have an excuse to make something cute and girly. I made these skirts for each of my nieces and I really like how they turned out!
