Minnie Mouse Layout

We went to Disney World in July 2009 and I just printed our pix. I don't know why it took me so long to get them printed! But I did catch a good sale at Walgreen and got over 200 pix printed and sent to my house for $18.00.  I haven't done a layout in a long time so it will probably take me a while to get in the groove. Anyway here is the first of many.  The I used my gypsy and George to make the Mickey head in the upper left corner and added the bow. I ran the mats thru the Cuttlebug and added stickles to the white polka dots

3x3 Cards with purse

I have been wanting to make a 3x3 card set for a while. I finally got a chance to make one this afternoon.  The colors are not really showing up very well in this pic but it is lavender and white. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More for the purse but I did do some adjustment with my Gypsy.  Dream is from Gypsy Wonderings and the scalloped square is from Storybook.  I ran the square through the Cuttlebug using Divine Swirls. That is one of my favorite folders.  I did a zig zag stitch around the edges. Don't look to close at that. lol.  I wasn't paying attention to all the adhesive I was using and when I went to sew on the cards my needle got all gummed up.  I think it still turned out ok to use as a pattern.

 

Candy Bouquet

 

I needed a quick gift for a coworker and since she wasn't to happy to have a birthday I thought this would be great for her.

The circle and scallop are from Accent Essentials

40 sucks is from Plantin Schoolbook

Happy Birthday is from A Child's Year

First fondant cake

 

My daughter is on a roll!  This is her first fondant cake. It's hard to tell by the picture but it is square.  

It's a four layer french vanilla cake with buttercream icing under the fondant.

Thank you card by my daughter

Here is a thank you card that my daughter made for one of her friends moms for taking her to the local water park. She made the flip flop out of a shape she found on the gypsy font cart. Shift, shadow bottom row 2nd from left. I think its suppose to be a comma. Then she ran the bottom layer through the crimper.  I think she did an awesome job!

1 Year Anniversary!!

Wow!! I can't believe I just had my first blog Anniversary on June 13th!  It doesn't seem like it has been that long. I am pretty proud of myself that I have kept up a whole year without any large gaps between post. This has been a great incentive to keep on crafting!!   Thanks for stopping by!

Treat bag

My granddaughter had her first dance recital and I made these treat bags for her to give to the girls in her class.
I used storybook for the scallop oval and paper dolls for the ballerina. The stamp was a studio G from the dollar spot at Michael's.

Never Ending Card

This was my first attempt at making a never ending card. This was also the first card I have made since getting my new Gypsy!  I had seen these on the computer before but never in person and really didn't think I wanted to ever make one.  They just never appealled to me I guess.  I also thought that maybe when turning the pages my images would be upside down or something. Idk. This card is 8 x 8.  I used images off of the paperdolls carts. I made the envelope with a 12 x 12 sheet of paper and just folded around the card to fit. After having made this and played with the pages it will not be my last :)   I already know what my next one will be!
