They moved back home this week and I thought it would be nice to make them a wordbook filled with things we'll remember them by. They absolutely loved it!</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is how is turned out.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdjoh9nVznwjQg7PeW18M4BpBjKEvSo_EEJo7qTIIAULavsuZwde7JlNS2Y1IBIY7proRzaFZOzxb4JKUTw66PYj_4nP170IUD3anRJB3IPOw77zlgoG8CQgU6lyXpXxB5N_4OLybIKpU/s1600/DSCF7630.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdjoh9nVznwjQg7PeW18M4BpBjKEvSo_EEJo7qTIIAULavsuZwde7JlNS2Y1IBIY7proRzaFZOzxb4JKUTw66PYj_4nP170IUD3anRJB3IPOw77zlgoG8CQgU6lyXpXxB5N_4OLybIKpU/s320/DSCF7630.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And this was the first wordbook I made. I made that one for my sons closest friend who left daycare because he turned 4 and started school. A couple of day later I got an email from his mom, telling me how much she liked this recap of their 2 years of friendship. FYI "vrienden" means "friends". </div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I learned how to make a wordbook in inkscape from this tutorial: <a href="http://mycricutscrapbooking.com/how-to-make-a-word-book-in-inkscape/">http://mycricutscrapbooking.com/how-to-make-a-word-book-in-inkscape/</a></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From making this book I learned that the contrast between the background and the letter should me higher.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I used cardstock from DCWV's glitter stack for the letters.</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
The first one was a cassette tape for my son. I saw it on an adult shirt and thought it would be funny for him because he never even saw one for real.<br />
<br />
The cassette is from the Cricut cartridge "Indie Art" and I used hotfix glitter foil for the middle part. For the outer part I used regular cotton which I ironed on the shirt with steam-a-seam.<br />
<br />
<br />

Later on my husband had a family day at work so I wanted to make my son a shirt with their logo on it. My son picked the colors and the guitar model. The Flying-V is from the Cricut Cartridge "Indie Art" and I used hotfix flock to iron onto the shirt. I downloaded the Gibson-logo from their website and used SCAL to cut it with my Expression.<br />

I downloaded the font American Pop One to cut it on my Expression with SCAL. I think it looked really cute.<br />

Next project is a shirt with the Incredibles logo on it, but I'm gonna wait till summer for that.

They had a lot of fun together and I chatted with their moms if I was not taking photo's. This is the scrapbook page I made of the occasion. the patterned papers are from the K&CO's Rough & Tumble paper pad. <br />

It was a goodbye gift for a daycare friend of my 3 year old son. She turned 4 and is off to school now. I thought this would me a nice souvenir to remember him by. The Alphabeth Stack would have been more appropriate, but I didn't order that yet. I used a Barbapapa border to match the shirt she's wearing in the pictures. I just printed it because I discovered that it was too much work to make a cut-file. I pimped the flowers with a glaze pen and used tiny rhinestones to make Barbabella's necklace come alive. The base is from DCWV's Glitter Stack. The fotomats from Core'dinations' Gemstones. In the end there was more than enough glitter and bling to make a little girl smile big.</span><br />

After that I got the taste of it and next I wanted to create something a little bit less basic. I browsed through my latest pictures a decided my son dressing up as Spiderman was wordt a scrapbook page. So I googled for a Spiderman mask I could convert into a cutfile, placing the pictures in the eyes of the mask. Since I didn't have anything worthwhile to mention, I just used Spiderman's slogan for this page. Ofcourse in the Spiderman font that I also found online. I have to say I'm very proud of my second scrapbook page ever!<br />
