Ice Cream Truck

I got a bonus day off of work today. The census is low so they put me on call, meaning I had to remain available to go in.  So I couldn't stray too far from home. Perfect excuse to scrap!  I did the January title page for my 2007 album and I made this ice cream truck.  My daughter is going to the beach with my mom and sisters for a few days and the ice cream truck comes by every evening. I made this to keep ice cream truck money in at the beach house. 

I cut two ice cream trucks from Pop Up Neighborhood at 5 inches, and reversed one.  I kept the embellishments simple, but couldn't resist embossing the ice cream cone.  For the ice cream man, I modified the milk man from PUN and switched out his milk bottle for a sno cone from the Carousel cart.  A rainbow sno cone is the preferred ice cream truck treat for my daughter and nieces!  I put three stripes of glitter on the cone.  I made a simple rectangle box, 4x2.5x2.5, and glued it between the trucks to hold the cash.  I thought it would be a fun way to hold some cash and save us the nightly scramble when we hear the truck.

A Couple of Layouts

 So I have finally finished scrapping and I wanted to share my Thanksgiving layout.  All the cuts are from the Thanksgiving seasonal cart. 

 Instead of apple pie, we had lemon meringue, my dad's favorite.  I used liquid applique to make the meringue and I love how it came out.  It did get a little squished when I closed the book.  I dusted it with a little chalk to give it a baked, golden brown look.

 The turkey was also chalked.

Lastly, I used the new Dr. Checkup cart to add a title to this page I had already done.  I saved each print out from each well child visit, with height, weight and immunization records and was running out of ideas to embellish them.  I had just stuck this one on an old piece of CM perfect fit paper and left it.  When the Dr. Checkup cart came in the mail, I added the title and icons.  The colors aren't great, but I can live with it.  And now, I get to start on 2007!

More Heat Transfer Vinyl

   I haven't had much time to scrap (don't I always say that?) but I had to make some t shirts.  My daughter's class took a field trip to the seacoast and I used Life's a Beach to put a different sea creature on each child's shirt.  The animals on LAB are cute and kid friendly.  I didn't get any pictures that don't have other people's kids in them, though.
   My mother is a hygienist and one of her bosses just had a baby girl.  The office bought a gift, but she wanted something personal and inexpensive so I made her a onesie.  I used Siser easy weed and a sparkly pink HTV that surprisingly cut very easily.  I think the lettering was from Winter Woodland (but it could be Nursery Rhymes) and the tooth fairy is from A Child's Year.

 Then I had to make a pj top for my daughter's teacher, who is crazy/dedicated enough to have her entire class sleep over at the school as an end of the year treat.  The kids looked forward to it all year and had so much fun.  One of the highlights was that she let them have a can of soda!  I did the lettering from Making the Grade and the sleep mask and soda came from Chore Chart.  I had two types of vinyl-the Siser easy weed, which is by the far the easiest to work with, and another brand I don't remember that doesn't layer as nicely.  That's why the circle under my soda bottle isn't perfect.

 Lastly, my niece loves dogs and has a dog themed party almost every year.  I used the little dalmation from Create a Critter, then put a Doodlecharms party hat on him instead of the fire hat.  She loved him.
