Been A While

Yep, I have neglected my blog...but that doesn't mean I have neglected my machine! :-) I ended up breaking down and getting a baby bug for Girl's Night, because I get too impatient waiting for one machine to finish.  It's been a crazy busy weekend and I am really too pooped to type anything clever, but I wanted to show-off some of the things I did with the girls!  The candy bouquet isn't anything with the Bug but I am pretty proud of it anyways!

Monogram Plate

One of my very best friends got engaged last night and I was asked to be a part of the proposal by taking pictures (see the photo blog in a few days to see pictures!).  There was no way I could be a part of such an awesome proposal and not bring a gift! I etched a plate with their names and future monogram initial! Shortly after she opened it, other friends were telling me they expect one when they get hitched :-)

This is still with the vinyl on it...its sometimes hard to see the full detail on etched glass through a picture, so I will start showing both versions!

50th Anniversary

I was asked to design a 50th Wedding Anniversary for a friend to give as a gift.  I am pretty pleased with the result, as well as the packaging.

Etching Glass

Yep-I tried it! Yep-I love it! I etched my first piece of glass the other day (aside from the things I did for my bridal party over a year ago).  I still can't decide if I like the pre-etched or the post-etched better...guess I will have to just make two of everything I etch!  :-)

Trying Out New Designs!

I got an awesome zebra print design from a sweet lady on a message board I follow! This is my first attempt at the cut and I must say-I am pretty excited about the way it turned out!  The swirly design is one I found as a clipart sample and converted it.  Its not as funky as the zebra, but I still love it!

This is a sanitizer bottle I did for my desk at school.  We go through sanitizer quite rapidly, but now I will just refill the bottle :-)

 
                                     

These are two margarita glasses I did for a friend to give as a birthday gift! It was my first attempt at vinyl on something really curved...I need more practice.  Even so, I like the way they turned out!
