Peter Davison Celery Boutineer--5th Day of Doctor Who!

 On the 5th Day of Doctor Who, my true love gave to me... Peter Davison!  Who can forget this celery wearing doctor? All of the Doctors have their own very silly and distinct style. What could possibly top the super long scarf?...only veggies!  What does every panama hat wielding and 3 piece suit wearing man need? Celery. Here's a modern look on my little man.  This celery is made of felt... so you could actually use it for kids play food too!  First. The pattern. Right click to save off and print.

Jingle all the Way Vinyl Sign!

 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you are enjoying some family, food and fun time. Jingle all the Way Vinyl Sign! You wont need much to get started with the Silhouette Cameo. Paper is good start. My favorite medium is vinyl. It's easy to work with and adhesive,  so it makes application a breeze.  I had my cameo cut some gold vinyl. For vinyl cutting you don't need to use the mat!

After peeling off the transfer tape, I  added some white vinyl that reads Jingle all the way!  Done! Took me less than 20 minutes!  Perfect for Holiday decor!   Let's talk Silhouette for real.   My love for Silhouette happened back in the days of the SD. Which is similar in size to the Portrait. I bought one for under $200 and loved it. The...
