Making IT With Allie - My Biggest Cubs Fan

 Hello friends!
First, I want to announce the winner of last week's contest from
Release Me Create!

Alexis
Maureen from Release Me Create will contact you!
Congratulations!

And to get the party started, I want to share my latest project!
You know the type of person who is SO hard to gift for?
You know the type -if they want it, they get it before you have a chance to surprise them...
Well, my biggest Cubs Fan is VERY much like this.
And it is his birthday this weekend.
And that basically means it's a holiday...
So, I REALLY had to put my thinking cap on to figure the right gift out...
So, as I am trying to think of ideas for his (and my brother's and my father's birthdays who all fall within 5 days of each other) I found this fabulousness:

This is probably THE perfect gift, as he is a Cubs FAN-atic.

This one loves the Cubs so much he can be found at Wrigley on most nice summer days, taking in a good game. But who doesn't love a good Cub's game, right? ☺

But the price tag on this baby was out of my budget.

AND, it was not handmade by Me.

So, I had to figure a way to make something like this for him.

That is when my mind got going and I pulled out my Silhouette and started to make my own version.

Instead of layering and screen printing (which I don't have those fun tools...)

I used canvas and heat-transfer and some painted dowels.

It was REALLY fun.

The one I did is a bit different, but I think it has a similar feel.

And now since I have figured the perfect gift, what on earth am I going to do next year??
