Messy Hair

Hi everyone and happy happy Monday!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Bitten By The Bug 2 Challenge Blog!

The theme for this challenge is...

Something New!

It can be a new to you technique, product, cut file, etc.

Here is a look at what I created to share with you today:

I have a bin of items that I keep in my craft room of things that I may want to alter when an idea hits me and when I saw this challenge, I knew it would be perfect timing to alter this hat. I bought this hat a couple of months ago (still has the tags on it) on clearance because I loved the soft purple color.  This big wall decal was in the suggested projects list (Messy Hair, Don't Care Decal) when I did a search in Cricut Design Space and I just sized it down to fit a hat, versus a wall lol! I cut it from some white glitter HTV and used the new Easy Press Mini that my hubby got me for Christmas (first time using it...Yay!!). The mini heat press really made this process so easy! I decided to use the shape tool feature to also add a little heart to the brim to complete my hat.

I love it and it is ready to go once the temps get a bit warmer lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!!

Welcome to the Super & Everyday Hero Blog Hop!

If you just happened to stumble across the hop today on my blog and would like to start at the beginning,

then be sure to hop on over and see Joy at Joyslife.com.

For my project, I decided to make a gift for my daughter, who loves super heroes!

We are getting pretty excited about the new Superman movie that is getting released in theaters next month so I decided to go with Superman!

For my card, I used the Superman shield, found in the Silhouette online store, and popped that up using some foam adhesive onto my blue card base. I added a little border across the bottom of my card using some white cardstock and yellow cardstock that was punched with the upper crest border punch. Before I adhered my bottom border onto my card base, I stamped that super cute sentiment from the MY HERO stamp set from Joy's Life Stamps and added some red satin ribbon. Once that was done and adhered, I simply rounded the top corners of my card and added a little bling. 

Here is a close up of my sentiment:

Cute huh?

 There are so many great sentiments on the MY HERO stamp set from Joy's Life Stamps.

I also decided to make her a decoration for her room to go along with the card.

I simply cut out the Superman shield using some red vinyl and adhered it to the front of my glass block.

I wasn't too crazy about the white cording from the lights showing so I tied some yellow curling ribbon to the light string and then put my lights inside the block. Then I added some blue satin ribbon to the sides and tied it together at the top of the block with a bow. 

Here is a picture of the block lit up:

One final picture of the card and block together:

She loves it! She is a "super kid" so this is perfect for her!

Now we just have to patiently wait for the movie to be released lol!
