Tickets Please!

My family LOVES to go to the movies.  In fact, it is pretty normal around here to go to almost every weekend.  We also like to save and collect stuff...like movie ticket stubs.  {I tell my hubs that we are one pile of junk away from being on Hoarders. LOL!}  So when I saw this idea on Pinterest I had to do it.  It is a shadow box just for your movie tickets. Perfect for junk hoarders like me! I wanted to post a link to the original blog/website to give them credit for their wonderful idea, but the pin didn't link back. :-(  Mine is a little different than the one on Pinterest, so check out my Pin Board if you want to see the original. 

You don't need a lot of supplies for this project. I bought the shadow box at Hobby Lobby when they were 1/2 price and used paper I already had to decorate it. 



It fits nicely with my other shadow boxes.



You can add pattern paper and a title to the back panel.  I used the Quickutz handle and Sunshine font for the letters.  Another cute title option could be "Admit One".

My frame is 5x7, so it filled up pretty quick.  8x10 may be better if you have a lot of stubs.

A Royal Thank You

We just got back from a very fun vacation in Walt Disney World.  While we were gone my daughter's friend took care of her pet frogs, so we are giving her a little thank you gift.  I made the tag using the Royal stamp set from Some Odd Girl.  I just LOVE this stamp because she can be any princess you want her to be. I colored her with Copic Markers.  The words are embossed and there is a little glitter embossing around the edge of the tag too.

4 Parks, 1 World

My family will be heading to the wonderfully magical Walt Disney World in about a week.  I am so excited!!  It is all that's on my mind, so I thought I would share this scrapbook layout I did for a sketch challenge.

To give these plastic letters a pop of color, I used Copic markers to go around the edges.

National Scrapbook Weekend

It's National Scrapbook Weekend.   Have you done any scrapping?  I have not had much time to scrapbook myself, but I did manage to get one page done. This is one for a challenge using paint. Finding Tom Sawyer's paintbrush at the Magic Kingdom was perfect for this challenge. If you would like more information about finding Tom's paintbrush, go here.

Did you see the hidden Mickey?

Scrapping a Cinderella page - boy style

I did this page for a challenge about Disney restaurants.  The pictures are of my son and our desserts from Cinderella's Royal Table. I wanted to use crowns, but didn't want it be "girly", so I used brown paper and some old My Mind's Eye "Handsome Crown" pattern paper.

The title reads: Cinderella's Royal Desserts

Color Challenge

There is a fun Color Inspiration Challenge going on over at the Some Odd Girl Blog.  Here are the colors.  When I saw them I thought of cupcakes! 

The clear stamp "Tiny Baker Tia" is perfect for this color challenge.  Here is the tag I made.

Great, now I am hungry....for cupcakes. :-)

Easter Amigurumi

To get ready for Easter I made these cute little guys. They are crochet amigurumi figures. I had a hard time finding the correct size of eyes in my local craft stores, so if you make them, the eyes should be smaller. To make the bunny's ears pink inside, I used my scrapbook pastels, but you can also use blush or eyeshadow.

He even has a little tail.  Here is the side view...
