I'M FREE!!! Well, from my boot anyway!! I went to the doctor last week and he took me out of my boot for my fractured ankle!! Which means I can drive, walk and work again!! You have no idea how great it was to drive again....I spent the my first afternoon hitting all the places I love, Target, Joann's, Chillies, and Hobby Lobby, just to name a few!! It was amazing!!!
My first crafty project was a baby paint can for one of my dear friends that lives on the other side of the country. The fun/hard part about being in the military is I have friends everywhere....I wish I could be there as she is now expecting number 2 this summer and I'm so happy for her!! Number 2 is going to be a boy....the room colors are blue and brown with airplanes (our hubbys are F-18 pilots what did you expect??). So I wanted to send her something really cute besides just baby clothes!
I remembered I had a silver paint can in my stash, and I thought, how cute, and reusable!! So out came the DS, New Arrivals Cart, and my Vinyl!!
I used the DS to change the size of the airplane on the New Arrivals cart to better fit the paint can. I also set it up so that I could cut all the layers at the same time! That is one of the things I love the most when I use my DS!!
So after I did this I knew it needed a little more....so I used the circles that where left in the blue (from cutting out the windows in the airplane) a long with my swirl punch to cut out polka dots and swirls in the scrap vinyl white, blue, and brown!!
Once it was all put together I filled it with lots of cute baby boy stuff!! I think I'm going to go back and put the baby name on the top of the can just to finish it off!!
Hope you love it as much as I do!!
