Hybrid T-shirt Challenge

I am hosting a challenge at the Little Dreamer Designs blog. Have a look there for more examples or have a peek here. From the Little Dreamer Designs Blog:

For this challenge you will need a T-shirt, a fabric transfer paper, and an iron :)

Fabric transfer paper comes in two varieties, for dark fabric and for white fabric. Choose carefully as this will impact on your final result. Follow the transfer’s instructions carefully.

Five little steps to get you started:

1. Start by creating your digital design,
here is mine made with brushes from the Punked kit by Lori:



2. If you choose the transfer for white fabric you will need to flip your image, like so:

(DO NOT flip your image if you picked the dark fabric transfer paper)


3. Print your design into the transfer paper carefully following the instructions:

I used Inspired 4x6 White T-shirt transfers by Avery.

4. Iron on your transfer into the shirt:


5. Let the transfer cool before removing and voila:




Here is my little boy showing off his shirt:

Fun isn't it? Would love to see what you come up with :) there are two more weeks to play!

OH MY GOD I just have to toot!!!

Sorry, I never intended my blog to be only about scrapping and self promotion but it is not my fault no family (except hubby) reads this. So I talk about the stuff people that visit this blog dig, and that is Scrapbooking ;)

Back to the story, last week I decided to reactivate my account at Two Peas and create an account at SISTV (more on why in a future post).

So, I posted my car album at Two Peas and a friend sends me and e-mail to let me know I made it to the Top 10 by views AND by Votes. ????

I was laughing, could not believe it. Hubby didn’t quite know what I was going on and on about LOL I was stunned by the receptivity of the community to a hybrid scrapper :)

*****************

Today I got more great news, I found out I got into this week's Catwalk at SISTV. Cathy picked my {almost 30} freestyle album. I mean, that also blew my mind, and the comments and love in that website is amazing!!!

*****************

Then just now I posted my Train Album at Two Peas and it was picked Featured Layout of the Day...... I had to double check...

And then I said, that’s it, I am tooting!!! LOL Just had to share, thanks for letting me gloat :) Now I NEED to go to bed, it is almost 3AM :)

Freestyle Album Template

Got a new template at Little Dreamer Designs :) Super fun to create!

Here is a closer look (not great photos for lack of sunlight!!!):

Not much else going on except "rain rain go away, please come back another day" LOL but here we don't complain of rain *sigh* I don't like dark days though, getting tired of them!

Randomness

Ok *slaps own face* wake up! I am tired of feeling sorry for myself. I have been sick over four weeks, with good and bad days and the kids also got sick in this meantime, and I think I gave up fighting on this last week. I started taking Mersyndol which would put me to sleep at “normal” hours (as opposed to my usual past midnight bed time) and that put me behind big time. BUT I am here, decided to fight this, as my useless doctor says, just “soldier on” ;)

So, while I was gone I was going to have a post with some Valentines and loooooove scraps I made. Why? Because Valentine’s day in Brazil was June 12 :). Then I thought of a funny post for the Friday 13th, got too late for that one too. Then a Father’s day post, maybe?... well, too late for that too and too early as we only celebrate father’s day in August in Brazil and September in Australia...

but I am still going to share a father’s day present I created for hubby. I am ever so jealous that he gets to celebrate it 3 times LOL but when Cathy from Digital Artist Magazine invited me to create a hybrid project for the May issue I thought it was a nice excuse to ask HIM, what kind of crafty project he wanted made. I took him to the Craft Store and showed him the Kaisercraft stand with all the off the page projects, I was aiming for the wall clock but he went for the pencil holder... FINE, ok LOL :)

Here is the end result:

Made with designs by Nancy Kubo (Daddy-O Kit, btw, it is on special right now) and pencil holder and paint by Kaisercraft.

And before I go, a little tag. Alice tagged me. Thanks sweetie, it was the push I needed to blog today!

I had this tag before, Line tagged me last year, but I did in Portuguese, so I guess it is ok to translate it now :)

1. When there is a food I like at home, I can’t stop eating until it is all gone.
2. I love computer games and completely lose track of time when I am playing (so I avoid it)
3. Sometimes I value what other think more than my own opinion (sad)
4. I was a bad apple at school until I got to College, then I become top of my class (go figure)
5. I *also* like Heavy Metal (used to be only heavy metal but nowadays I am normal... LOL)
6. I don’t like high heels, skirts or lipstick...
7. Sometimes I will pay to stay at home rather than do anything outside.

There you go, completely random things about me that I think most people don’t know :)

I am tagging Jackie, Nancy, Catherine, Michelle, Gabi, Amanda and Lanne.

Oh, I almost forgot a little “announcement”: Amanda Heimann is having a CT Call.

Hope you have a great week!
