All Star Team Baseball Bats {Project}

Baseball is a big deal in my county and my community supports our young boys and girls who play hard all season long and it's a great honor to be selected for one of the All Star teams that go on to play through the summer months.  For several years I've created some hand-painted items that will hang on the fence, dugout or other places the teams play.  

I wanted to share these creations with you this year I received as a custom order.  ☺

Here are a few other projects I've created:

T-Ball Baseball Goodie Bags

My sweet sports star Spencer is playing his first year of t-ball and the parents take turns bringing an "after game" snack for each kiddo.  When it was our turn you know I just can't hand each player a pkg. of crackers or brownie -- I need to dress it up, right?? lol!!  

Here is what I did.  You will be amazed how simple, easy and fast these bags were to make. 

I started with plain white lunch bags, cut out a 4" circle template from my Martha Stewart Circle cutter and traced the circle onto the white bag for the "ball". 

 I then used a red marker to draw the "baseball" lines of a half circle and then added dashes on the lines to give the ball a realistic effect.  See -- easy peasy! 

I love to give a sweet message with my goodie bags so I am using the sentiment "Be the Best YOU you can Be!" -- found on the new set My Pink Stamper collection "Never Give Up".  I also added "ALL STAR" from My Pink Stamper's Boy Crazy collection.  I love how you can mix messages up from all of Robyn's collections!

And lastly I wanted to share a picture of my sweet boy Spencer -- he was a big help putting the goodie bags together.  His teammates loved them!  :)

 

Linking up this project at these fun parties!

Much love and I'll be back soon!

Decorating Car with Vinyl for All Stars!

::Click here for latest Linking Party ~ we'd love to see your projects!::

My nephew made the All-Star baseball team again this year and it's a tradition in the community to decorate the windows of your vehicle to support your kid.  It's - a - very - big - deal!!!
Most of the people use paint but my sister just got a brand new Tahoe oh about 4-5 months ago and she said "no paint" so I put my Cricut machine and Gypsy to work. 
The decorated windows are seen from all (except windsheild) windows decorated to just the back glass - which my sister opted to do this year.  I think it turned out super cute.  


I designed everything in my Gypsy and then cut it out on my Cricut machine.

My sister ran into a RAIN shower on the way to my house -- and I wanted to show you HOW WELL the vinyl sticks on your vehicle even after getting wet.

● Baseball ~ Baseball Solutions (I did use red paint to draw the lines of the ball)
● Flames on ball ~ Indie Art Solutions 

● WC for Washington County ~ Gypsy Font
● All Stars, Rylan & #13 ~ Mickey Font
● Stars ~ Baseball Solutions




This All-Star team has been playing together since 2009 (just a few changes) - HERE are the baseballs I painted for them.  You can see how they hang them on the fence during their game HERE a well as the first year I painted my sister's car.  In 2010 I used the Cricut Lite cartridge Varsity Letter to decorate her car ~ click HERE to see that.  

Here is my All-Star nephew Rylan!!  Go Boy!

I'm linking up to these parties this week....you should too....

♥ Cricut Lite Varsity Letter for Car Vinyl ♥

Hi everyone and Happy 4th of July week-end! 
Here is a project I did for my sister's car using the Cricut Lite cartridge Varsity Letter. In our area All-Star baseball is HUGE and supporting our All-Star teams is a big deal so all of the parents ride around with their car windows painted up.  Last year I painted her car windows - you can see that by clicking HERE but this year I used vinyl and the Cricut Lite Varsity Letter.  This cartridge is a font cartridge this is PERFECT for sports themed projects....and I think this turned out real nice.  She gets TONS of complements. How cool is that!?!!

Baseball is from Sports Mania

All-Star banner is from Sports Mania

Thanks for looking everyone and I'll be back with week with another project for you girls.

All Star Baseball Team Project

This is the project I have been working on for the last week or so. My nephew (and godson) made the 9-year olds All-Star baseball team and I made these wooden baseballs personalized for each all-star player on the team.
They will hang these one the fence when they play their game. The ball is actually the size of a dinner plate as that is what I used as my template. I drew them on 1/2" plywood and my wonderful hubby cut them out on the ban saw. I painted them up and personalized them with each boys name and jersey number. I think they turned out great.
