So many Shoes!

I have already faced the fact that I am in trouble when it comes to my 8 year old and shoes! 
Here is a very small part of her glass shoe collection: 

And yes all the baskets are also full of shoes!

Here is a picture of her favorite High Heel shoe, that she can only wear in the house: (Am I in trouble or what?? Only 8!!)

So when  I saw  Paper Playtime had a shoe challenge I was in! Only one problem... I could not find any shoes on any of the cartridges I own except Paper doll dress up and well, they are for paper dolls!

Here is the challenge:

For Challenge #16 make any new paper project inspired by this theme: "IF THE SHOE FITS, BUY ONE OF EVERY COLOR".

Since I had no cartridge to use, I really had to go outside the box on this one! I call my little girl my chickie, which gave me the idea of the chick, and I remembered the tulips from Walk in my Garden and how I thought they looked like chickie feet, so... I came up with Chick Shoes!

When I started putting it together, I had my little chick glued to my side! She loved that I made green shoes to match her green eyeshadow!

Happy Birthday Princess!!

After doing a plain boy card, I was really motivated to take on the challenge over at Paper Playtime!

For Challenge #15 make any paper craft project inspired by this theme: CASTLES, KNIGHTS & DAMSELS IN DISTRESS. You may interpret this theme any way you like.
Here is my entry:

I used Paper Doll Dress up for the princess. I did use a little cuttlebug embossing folder that says princess under her feet but it doesn't show well in the photo. I ran her dress through the divine swirls and added glossy accents. Face stamp is sizzix. You can click on the photo for a better look.

Have a Moo-velous Day!!

I received this fun paper from a swap with a friend of mine and thought it was so cute and just in need of a cow!

Paper playtime: For Challenge #14 make a Card, Layout, 3-D Project or any other Paper Craft Project inspired by this theme: Old Mcdonald had a farm

Alphabet challenge: Our challenge for you this week is S for Scallops

Our Creative corner: is challenging us to feature letters and/or numbers in your project.

Here is my entry:
I used Accent Essentials for the scallop, Create A Critter for the cow, and Sizzix Ransom for the letters. Stamp is from Punny-licious.

Nuts about You!

Create A Critter is so much fun to use! I made this for the following challenges:

Paper Playtime: Anniversary

and

Turned Gypsy: Make a Card with dots,stripes,ribbon and buttons.

I am not into mushy cards, so this is a card I would give to my Husband for our anniversary! I love how this turned out! And I had to add a giant flower! And thanks to my friend Andrea who has spoiled me, she surprised me with a large container of beautiful prima flowers! Stamp is from Punny-i-licious.

Cutie Koala Bear

I have wanted to use flock on one of my cards so I looked through the Create a Critter and chose the Koala Bear. He is so cute! I used the flock to make the white fur pop more. It's cute. I tried to make it more of a boy card since I never have boy cards.

I think I made him a little to big because I couldn't fit anything else on the card! Maybe it is just because he seems to have a large head?


So I had a few challenges in mind when I was making this so here is where it is entered!

More than Flavors: Birthday Theme

Paper Play time: Zoo

Card Creations and more: Use Create a Critter

Cricut Cardz challenge: Anything goes

My daughter needed a composition notebook this year for her journal so I decided to make it more fun for her. Here is a photo of the book before: Pretty boring!!


Here is the front after:
Here is the back after!
This project was soooo easy to make! I let her pick the paper she wanted from one of my 12x12 paper packs. Then I just measured and glued! I did add a colored spine border and some ribbon for extra bling. I wanted to add lots of bling but was afraid of what would happen to it shoved in her desk! She LOVED it and so did all of her friends!
