Ok so sit back, relax, grab a Diet Dr. Pepper or coffee and have fun!

For my project today, I decorated a onesie for Baby Olivia:

I started with my Gypsy.

I got the sentiment from Creative Memories Stork's Delivery and sized it to 3.12 inches.  I flipped it and cut it out of freezer paper.  I set my E2 to Light Paper.  When I use my Expression, I use 3-3-3.  Make sure to put the shiny side of the freezer paper up.

I bought a pack of onesies and some soft tulip fabric paint in hot pink.

I ironed on the freezer paper stencil shiny side down.  I added the inside cuts carefully so as not to burn my fingers!

I put a piece of chipboard inside the onesie and painted inside the stencil with a foam brush.

I peeled off the freezer paper.

Simply Gorgeous just like Baby Olivia!!

Thanks so much for helping us celebrate Baby Olivia!

Note Pads for my Kids!

I made personalized note pads for my daycare kids and their siblings who are in school.  I personalized them by using several cricut cartridges and papers.  Ayla loves cats and her sister Abby loves dogs.

 William and Eli love trucks and trains.

 McKenna and Elle love dance.

Luke and Tanner love baseball.

Mallory loves lady bugs and Sierra loves tie dye and soccer.

 Sterling and Alex love football.

 Colton loves soccer and Jadon just started karate.  Jadon also loves orange!

Max loves golf and Stone loves to wrestle.

 Here is a screen shot of some of the cuts and layers.

 I welded the names (using Don Juan) to the Sports Mania images.

 Here is a link to a tutorial on how to make these notepads with a Bind-It-All HERE.

In addition to the note pads, I also gave the kids some "grown up" pens to use in them.  My son has already filled up his note pad with drawings and words.  I need to get busy with some more!!!
