The Reason for the Season.....

This week's theme is the reason for the season.  And although I know the reason for the season is the birth of Jesus Christ, the first thing I am going to do is post some gifts that I made.  But since Jesus was a gift to us from God - I'm kind of on theme.  Don't judge me.  ;-)

I have discovered vinyl.  I've known about vinyl, but was afraid.  Everyone told me that if I ever started playing with it - there was no going back.  How right they were.

I found these cups at the Dollar Tree and I snatched them up.  Although my design is not terribly elaborate - I am sure it is just the beginning.

I used vinyl from My Vinyl Direct and I am pleased with the results.  I used my Silhouette Cameo for all the images and text.  I prefer my Silhouette for text -  I just like the control I have in the software.  I used clear contact paper instead of transfer tape.  I like the way it worked and I didn't feel like I was wasting money when I made a mistake.

I have 4 nieces and 1 nephew on my families side.  I made each of them a cup.  I hope they enjoy them.

I do intend to have some projects featuring the reason for the season.  But remember - God gave us a gift so I am featuring the gifts I am giving.  I know - it's a stretch.  But I'm all about living on the edge.  LOL

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  If you haven't tried vinyl - don't let it scare you.  It's not that hard.  If you can use your machine for paper - you can do vinyl.  Just remember to set your blade to a 1 or 2 or to set your dial to vinyl.  I speak from experience.

Have a great day and be inspired.

Acts 20: 24  However,  I consider my life worth nothing to me;  my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace.
