Not so sure about this Vinyl stuff

Why do I do this to myself?? I am always trying something that I saw somewhere (no matter how flipping technically difficult it is!!!). When am I going to learn that there are things that are above my skill level....

I decided to make a wedding gift for a dear friend who is getting married this Friday (She is on my FB but I KNOW she will be way too busy this week to check out my blog and see it prior to the wedding - and if she does see it at least she will know to make the appropriate "oh its beautEEful" face even if she doesn't like it). My son ~who is my biggest craft fan *maybe he isn't and just fakes it to make me feel better* really didn't like how it turned out, which I guess is why I am doubting myself...




I used my gypsy (hand held Cricut designer) to do the M and Morgan so it was spaced right and did another layer for the 1st names.

Vinyl is a pain in the bootie - hard to line up or get even on glass so the names are not as centered as I would like. Oh, and the red vinyl was the Silhouette adhesive vinyl which was about 50 times LESS sticky than the Cricut vinyl so I wasn't sure it was even going to stick!!! There are bubbles in the big M vinyl, which you can't see unless you look close.  But its together and this is what Andrea is getting. Going to be a while before I try another vinyl project! LOL

*calling BS on myself because now I just want to prefect this vinyl crapola! Sorry about the quality of the pic, its hard to get a picture of see through glass but I tried.

  4. yeah don't be so hard on yourself it doesn't look bad and they are hard to do especially vinyl lettering. what you can do is use graph paper underneath as a guide so you can place it where you want it
