Two New Shirts to Share!

I have two new shirt samples to share with you today!

This first one was my very FIRST Life is Good t-shirt! I really waited too long to preserve it - as it has a hole on the image already....but I guess that's OK. It just says how much I love this shirt and I truly did wear it out! This shirt is really meaningful (yes...they all are!) but this one in particular because I signed up to get Life is Good newsletters many years ago and I saw this one in one of the newsletters that came shortly before Mother's day. I have a thing for Clawfoot bathtubs and just bubble baths in particular so when I saw Jake sitting in one - it was an immediate must have! So I forwarded the email on to hubby as a little hint and guess what I got for Mother's Day that year? lol...

I did this a little different - I added the shirt tag to the scalloped circle and made a scalloped background for the image. I wanted it to be a little more soft and feminine since it's pink and to show you some more ideas of the unique ways your t-shirt can be framed. See how worn out it is? This is another one I wore every time it was clean and so it was washed frequently. It does take a long time to wear out one of these t-shirts. They are very well made and they feel like your most favorite comfy shirt from the day you receive it. I just love the feel of them and how easy they are to care for.

Last week my little girl brought a very special t-shirt to me and asked me to frame it for her. I love her sweet little heart and how she wants to help me and be supportive. She's awesome! She exclaimed to me "I can't even get it over my head!" She had obviously outgrown it's size, but loved the image on it and wanted to keep it. That's exactly the spirit of T-Shirt Keepsakes, so I got busy creating a keepsake just for her to hang in her room. We bought this t-shirt for her to wear to spirit day at school for Kindergarten - so this was a very special memory of her first official year of school. Her class won first place that year for having the most spirit during a special day set aside to show school spirit by wearing the school colors of green and white. Now she can hang this up in her room and share that little story with family and friends that come to visit. She has a new shirt this year for spirit days that we'll get to frame after she outgrows it. I hope it's not too soon, though - she is growing up way too fast :o)


I was in a scallop mood still :o) but otherwise kept the design very simple and complimentary to the colors and feel of the t-shirt. It looks a little crooked to me - but I think it's the Monrovia word in the logo -it's a little off. She loves it though and it will look great in her room!

Thank you for visiting today and letting me share some more samples with you. I look forward to designing your T-Shirt keepsake so send me an email today!
