Princess Tiana Card

I have made another card with the Some Odd Girl "Royal" stamp set. I think I am obsessed with this set. ;-) It is fun to color her up as any princess you want her to be and Disney princesses are my favorite. This time I was thinking of The Princess and the Frog with Princess Tiana.  She is colored with Copic markers.  Her dress is paper pieced with green card stock, but highlighted with Copics and all glittered up to look magical. Her little frog is a Stampin' Up! stamp, but his crown is from the SOG Royal collection.

Castaway Creek

I love water parks and nobody does it better than Walt Disney World.  This layout is all about Castaway Creek, the lazy river at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon water park.  It is sooo relaxing and something the entire family enjoys.  On this day there was a thunder storm, so everyone had to get out of the water until it was gone.  It was a perfect time to get some pictures while lazy river was empty.

Cinderella...Odd Girl style!

If you like Some Odd Girl stamps and you like Princesses, then this card is for you.

 The castle part of the card is made using my Silhouette cutting machine.

 Cinderella is made using the Some Odd Girl "Royal" stamp set.  Isn't she pretty??

Cinderella must have her glass slippers, right? I gave her some by adding a diamond glaze to her shoes.

Her little crown is included in the stamp set.  I just colored it silver and blinged it up a little.

May the force be with you.

I made this Star Wars cake for a sweet little boy I know that is turning seven.  I went a little over board with the decorations, but when it comes to kids, they think more is better anyway. 

 This is a vanilla cake with butter cream icing. The stars and words are made with fondant. The Storm Troopers around the bottom of the cake are rings and the light sabers are cupcake picks.  These can be shared with the party guests.

 These little guys are just regular toys.  I did hot glue toothpicks to the feet so they would stay on the cake better. The birthday boy can keep them to play with when the cake is gone.  They are the perfect size and cost less than a real cake topper did at the cake store.



Sketch Challenge

I made this summer card for the Sketch Challenge over at Some Odd Girl. Paper's used: yellow card stock, Bo Bunny-Hello Sunshine Dot, and My Mind's Eye-Out of the Blue-Family-Speckle.

The little crab is made with a small punch from the Dollar Tree.

This sweet girl and her sand toys are from the Some Odd Girl "Beach Day Buddies" stamp set.

Non Traditional Hair Challenge

I made this quick little card for the Non Traditional Hair challenge going on over at Some Odd Girl.  Sunny Mae is ready for some 4th of July firework fun with her blue hair and red dress.

TIE-riffic Father's Day!

The kids and I had a fun making things for Father's Day and found all of our ideas on Pinterest.  We went with a "Tie" theme.  These cute ideas aren't just for Father's Day, you can also make them for men/boy birthdays too.  Make sure to click on the links I provided that go back to the original blogs so you can get the instructions and printables.

To start off, we made this room service door hanger from a free printable we got here.  Dad picks what he wants, hangs it on his door, and then the little "chefs" pick it up and make breakfast.

He picked sausage, grits, toast, fruit and muffins.  He also wanted juice AND soda.  Hey, it's his day...if he wants two drinks, he gets two drinks.

Ta-da! Breakfast in bed. My son had the towel on his arm because he thinks that is what butlers do. LOL!

  

 We also found a free printable for this adorable Tie banner here. Jut print and cut. So easy!

What do you get a guy who really doesn't need or want anything?  Dr. Pepper and beer...decorated with cute ties of course!  Everyone know soda tastes better in glass bottles, so we went with that. We also found a mix and match area in the beer section at our local grocery store, so we were able to get several flavors he hasn't had before.  The little ties came from the same site with the banner.

The kids also got their Dad and Grandfather some candy and decorated it with ties too.  These shirts are made from simple legal size envelopes and we used some of the same Tie tags that we put on the drinks.  Find instructions for the shirts here.
