I am part of the blog hop "A New Season A New Skill" which starts over at
craftingmisfit. The challenge for us was to try a new skill or something we had never done before. This is what I did -
Vinyl
I have done a little bit of work with vinyl on the magnetic/dry erase boards I have been making but not much more than that. Sunday was my youngest daughter's birthday party and I used vinyl to decorate some plastic water bottles I bought from Wal-Mart. I made one of the little girl's especially happy because she has an unusual name and has never been able to buy a product with her name on it before:-)

| Added the musical notes to fit the theme of the party! |
Banner
I also decided to make a banner for my daughter's birthday party. She had a "Lego Rock Band" party and this is the first time I had ever made a banner. I used Twinkle Toes for the base of the banner and Mickey Font for the letters as well as Smiley Cards for the guitars.
 |
| Notice the googley (is that a word?) eyes!! |
Shrinky Dinks
I also cut out shrinky dink material using my cricut. I cut out the guitar from Smiley Cards but only used the shadow feature. I found that setting my regular blade at 6 my pressure at high and multicut 2x worked great.
The kids colored them in with colored pencils.

| This shows how I laid the cuts out on the mat. |

| Baking in the oven. |

| The final product!! |
Thanks for taking the time to look at my projects and have a wonderful week!! You should now hop on over to
