Vinyl Window Decal

So back in May, I ran my first half marathon.  It was a crazy time to do it, as school was coming to an end and my life was a little hectic!  It was a huge accomplishment for me as a runner.  I can remember when I ran my first 10K and it was the beginning of July and hot hot hot! I thought to myself…there is no way in hell I would be able to run a half marathon…and I did it!  I would love to run a full marathon one of these days but one step at a time!

I wanted a decal for my car window before I even finished the race!  I can remember going into Gary Gribble’s to grab some chews for my race and I was already browsing the decals while waiting in line. The only one they had in the half marathon were just black and white and BORING! So then I resorted to shopping on eBay…I just could not find one that I really liked, so once I started playing with vinyl, I decided that I would take matters into my own hands! I fired up Cricut Craft Room and started playing around with different fonts and decided on a dual layered decal to kick it up a notch.  I recently purchased some 12″x12″ sheets of colored vinyl to play with and I figured this was the perfect time to break them out! It is funny because after my first vinyl project, I was irritated and set on the fact that I would never mess with it again!  Now I keep dreaming up ways to use it!  I will still say that it is a pain but I am loving the final products!

After weeding out the extra vinyl, I used Glad Press & Seal as transfer paper.  I think it is easier to put the layers together before placing it on the surface.  This is what it looked like before applying the teal to the pink shadow.
