laptop and expressions vinyl

i love my laptop. it's that one special thing I would grab if there was a fire. it's like an appendage.




and i wanted it to reflect me...real bad. in an awesome as can be kindofway.
 and I kept cutting stuff out of vinyl and rubbing it on...and kept getting a fail of the awesomeness level.
I didnt' want to do a glue gun..cause you know I'm more than  a glue gun (barely more.) okay. i'm total glue gun..but I have one on my car already!!!!!
.

and again. not me.


I finally found a design I liked....


(adam sandler voiceover)
super colorful. and one of kind! love it!

and guess what I used...? some expression vinyl.....and my cutting edge stencil (same one I used on my chair.)
you can go over to the diy club to read about it my SIMPLE how-to! (go HERE)
see....you don't have to have a cricut or silhouette or any of those fancy contraptions to  cut out the vinyl...you can just trace it! (make sure to enter my vinyl giveaway HERE!)



and to top my laptop decor obsession... my husband won an Ipad at work....for reals right? luckiest dude ever.

(not turned right side on purpose.) i was told not to post pictures of him...and I just think the side view is so slimming...so he can't possibly be mad.)

(too bad we are both like tech novices.

we have played A LOT of games of angry birds.)

anyways...I went to etsy and typed in laptop sleeves...omg....so fun!




















or how about these ADORABLE paisley ones:








alright....if you still haven't gone to the diy club...head on over!

  6. My husband has the Iron Man decal on his Macbook. I sort-of wish I were kidding, but it's really cute.

    I haven't thought about gussying up my netbook, though. I suppose I'll just get some expressions vinyl & fire up the cricut!
