Wonder Fall

I love Fall. The brisk air, crunchy leaves under your feet, pumpkin pie and apple cider. It's all wonder Fall! It inspired me to paint and create a new digital scrapbooking SNAP kit this week and it's now available for purchase at Happy To Create!

And here's a couple layouts of my cuties using the Wonder Fall SNAP kit.

I hope it inspires you to go outside and enjoy the falling leaves. Take a few photos to scrap too while you're at it! :) Enjoy.

Hybrid Craft: Halloween Luminaries

Looking for an easy Halloween craft? Check out this post on the Happy To Create Blog where I show you how to make Halloween themed luminaries from peanut butter jars, battery operated tealights and digital scrapbooking supplies. And then go make some and be creepy! :o

I Spy a Lego Jedi

Look who's watching over me while I work.

It makes me feel so Jedi protected or something. (and wowsers, please ignore the dust on my monitor! Perhaps I work more than I housekeep!)

I wonder if Jedi's do house cleaning? Hmm. Probably with a light saber. Nevermind.

Use the Force!

May the force be with you, my son.

I found a white t-shirt on clearance at the wallymarts the other day and thought it would be fun to make an iron on design for my son. (I figured it was so cheap that if I ruined it, it wouldn't be a huge loss!)

I encouraged him to create his own artwork that I could use for the iron on design. He loves Star Wars so he created his own version of Luke using the force, and clones, and blasters, light sabers and I'm not sure what else. Very clever. 

So I scanned in his artwork, added a title with a free Star Wars font I found, and outlined it with a rounded rectangle in Illustrator. Then, follow the manufacturers directions for the iron on transfer paper. I used Avery #3271 and you have to make sure you mirror the image before printing. Also, please ignore the bad kerning, I had a little Jedi looking over my shoulder begging "is it done yet, is it done yet?" When you're making your little kiddo smile this big, who cares about kerning, right? What matters is that he loves it. I don't think the iron on stuff will last through many washings though. He wore it to school today and it's starting to crackle and wear off a bit. But then again, a white shirt doesn't stay very white on my boy. ;)  If you want to try to make one for your little Star Wars fan, you can find free fonts out there. I think this is the one I used Star Jedi Font. And may the force be with you. ;)
