Silhouette!

So last year for Christmas, my Mom got me a silhouette. Mycah started needing some things for her wedding so 6 months later I finally took it out of the box. The first things we made were cutting card stock which I have done with my cricut. The difference in the silhouette is that it is a computer program and not just a cartridge, so the possibilities are endless. I just needed time to teach myself. I started by making some things for the out of town bags for Mycah's wedding guests.



And then I started playing around with the adhesive vinly. I made these coffee mugs for the friends that we were going to visit in St. Louis.



Then, Mycah needed names put on some bags for her bachelorette party. I used adhesive vinyl for these also.



Then, Presley asked for a birthday shirt. When you make shirts you use the Heat Press Vinyl which is a whole different ball game. So I got on YouTube and watched more videos. Not bad for my first shirt.



Then I started playing around with some shirts that I already had.



I made myself a soccer mom shirt!



Then once I realized that I could make pretty much anything, the fun began. I have always wanted shirts with Kiley's disability on them. I made this shirt for Kiley, and her teachers fell in love with it!



So I made these for all of them. And then their teacher friends wanted them too!



I made this one for me and then Kiley's friend's Moms wanted one too.



Then someone on social media saw Kiley's shirt with her disability and they contacted me from Italy. I made 6 shirts and shipped all the way to Italy.



So I am loving spreading the word about kindness and Kiley's disability and making a little extra money at the same time. I buy high quality soft tshirts so they are comfortable. I also enjoy making them for the kids. I made these Halloween shirts for them.



This aggie one that I made for the girls is one of my favorites.



I did these for all of the kids coming to Mycah's wedding and then of course Mikey and Dustin wanted one. Glitter for the girls and solid for the guys.



I had to make this one for Kiley too.



It has been fun selling them and also making them as gifts. I enjoy playing with different designs and then them all coming together. Here are some of the other shirts I have made.




I made jerseys for Bentley's indoor team.


I have also been brainstorming on other things I can do! One of Mom's friends was turning 50 and she got her 50 gift cards from everyone at work.



I made these holiday pillows for my couch.



I personalized these ornaments for my Mom.



Needless to say I have really enjoyed my "new" toy!
