More Vinyl...

I also had to try the t-shirt vinyl finally!  I had created this design on my gypsy a while back and finally cut it out for this sweatshirt.  Turned out pretty cute.
First, I cut the design out of the t-shirt vinyl and weeded out everything I didn't want.  Note: you cut with shiny side down, dull side up AND everything has to be cut BACKWARDS.
Place the sheet, vinyl side down against the shirt.
Iron over the top for about 15 seconds.  I used a teflon sheet (paid $6.99 at MFTM - TOTALLY WORTH IT) which helps the iron to glide smoothly across the design.
Finished product.  Looks amazing in person.  Pic just doesn't do it justice.
So to share some latest things:

The glass on the left is a glass I bought a while back.  It has a square of chalkboard paint on it.  I bought 12 glasses because thinking it would be fun when people come over, they can write their name on their glass with chalk.  

Since then, they have broken and I now have only 2 chalkboard glasses left.  So, I broke out the chalkboard vinyl and created a sticker sheet of various shapes and am now going to keep a sticker sheet and chalk out on the table next to the glasses when people come over.  Fun stuff!

Below is a card I made using Create a Critter cardridge for the owl and branch.  Then I cut a blurb out of chalkboard vinyl so that you could make it any kind of card you wanted.  Write "Happy Birthday", "Thinking of you" or "Hi, friend".... whatever card you need.  Love it.
