MY DISNEY PRINCESS...

My morning project... ha. Now I am hungry!!

I love how this came out. The picture doesn't show the true sparkle of the taco.

This shows the brightness better. You can really see the 'cheese', 'tomatoes', 'lettuce' and 'meat'. Thanks so much for looking.

THANK YOU CARDS ~ TBD

Hi Folks. I wanted to share some 'thank you' cards I made last month.

No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. I did make them all a bit differently.

The pattern is from Treasure Box Designs. Thanks for looking.

SEQUIN NOTEBOOK

Hi folks, I wanted to share a cute 'altered' notebook I recently did for one of my nieces.

Here is a video of it as is...just the way I bought it.

One side is rainbow...

the other side is silver.

I then cut vinyl on my Silhouette Cameo and placed the negative side directly on top of the cover of the notebook. Making sure all the silver sequins were showing, I 'colored' them with a black Sharpie marker.

I love how personal it came out, I just wish the lines were cleaner. I know I am my worse critic. I bought the notebook from Walmart, but I know that they also have them at Five Below. Thanks so much for looking.

YET ANOTHER VALENTINE

Hi guys. I hope everyone enjoyed yesterday and all the love that the day brought. I want to share another card I made.

Here is another card that features a pattern from My Scrap Chick. This card was so easy to make and I just love how it came out. I added the roses on the top. Thanks so much for looking. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Hello everyone. Happy Valentine's Day to all that celebrate. I want to share some quick cards I made using the filigree hearts freebie that was issued by My Scrap Chick.

The first one, I added the 'flower pretties' freebie to dress it up a bit. A big thank you to my husband for the yummy chocolate covered strawberries :)

The second card has been paired up with 'the daisy garden' flower set. I just love these flowers. Another big thank you to my hubby for these amazing roses!!! I love you honey.

HAPPY ENGAGEMENT

Hello everyone. I am so behind in posts...

I am so happy to share that I have not one family member that has gotten engaged but TWO!!!

As part of the celebration for both couples I decided to do some cookies.

How adorable huh? I cut the diamond rings by hand. The roses were a cookie cutter. I clearly need more practice with my frosting.

I did the rings first and love how cute they came out.

By the time I got to the roses, my hand was killing me!!! I piped them fast and messy just to finish them up. They were still yummy regardless of how they looked :)

Congratulations to the happy couples.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hello everyone. I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. Since I am in line at a store about 200 deep on Black Friday, I thought I would share a cute foodie/craft from yesterday. I asked my mom what she wanted me to do for thanksgiving and she said ‘make cookies’. Ugh. So I took full advantage of the situation and made my first batch of sugar cookies with icing.

How adorable are these pumpkin pie cookies? I started out with a four inch circle to use as a template. Then I tried to cut eight uniformed ‘slices’.

I baked them and they came out in different sizes. I need to work on that.

Then I made up the icing which was the most difficult part. You need a firm batch for the cookie outline. Then you need a ‘not so’ firm icing batch to flood the space between the outlines. Then you need a batch of white (whipped cream), light brown (pie crust) and of course orange (for pumpkin filling).

They tasted like vanilla and not like pumpkin which I think the kids actually liked. And boy they were so good and soft. I can’t wait to try again with Christmas cookies. Stay tuned.
