My boys turned three last week. I made them birthday cupcake tees for them to wear on the big day; the backs had their names and new age (3) like the back of a baseball jersey. Here they are enjoying their birthday Krispy Kremes!
My stencils have appeared in a handful of treasuries on etsy, and it is always a huge thrill for me. But even more thrilling was to go to the etsy homepage today and find that one of my stencils (my "signature" one -- the cupcake) appeared on the front page! It was up there for about six hours, and I enjoyed every last second of it. Hurray!
Friends Kari and Lara both had a hankering for fleur de lis tees, one on a heathered blue tee and one on an ice blue tee. I used pearlized (slightly sparkly) pale blue paint on the heathered tee, and a deep navy blue paint on the ice blue tee. I really like how they turned out!

I loved the rock star stencil I did for little Miss Emma the other day, so I thought I'd try it again, only with a shimmery gold star instead. It makes me think of gold records, you know (or am I dating myself by mentioning "records"? hee).
Michelle is having a baby in December! So I stencilled a "due in december" shirt for her with a little extra bit of flair: a holly berry and leaves as the dot in the i. I'm very excited about this. (some days, it doesn't take a lot to make me happy)
Jamie's daughter Emma is a rockstar and needs a stencil tee to ensure that the world knows this!
So I did a multi-layer stencil (black "rockstar" in Fiolex Girls font over a sparkly pink star) and loved the results so much that I'm adding more of these designs to my shops!
As a breast cancer survivor, you can imagine that I love any and all projects involving pink ribbons. So when my friend Judie who runs a Baby Boot Camp in Texas came to me wanting fifteen (yes, that's 15) shirts for her BBC team to wear in a breast cancer walk, I said Absolutely!
The text is as close as I could get to the BBC logo, in green (over white, to ensure that the text popped on the grey shirts) moderately sparkly paint. The hand-drawn pink ribbons feature hearts at the top loop and were edged in pale pink.
