Everyone can't be a Princess...

I love working with vinyl!  Sayings on tiles are so fun to make, there is vinyl in almost every room in my house, and I've used it as stencils for etching.   I made a tile the other day and decided to make another today. 

I have a file where I keep a list of quotes that I might want to use on tiles or for wall vinyl for a craft sale.  This saying is cute, though if someone actually thinks this, I'm not sure I want to be around them!! 

Challenge...

"Hoppy Hoppy Birthday!!"

A friend called and said her daughter needed a birthday card for a friend this weekend and she wanted my daughter to make it and that it needed to have a frog theme.  So we worked together.  My design, but her paper choices and I made her do all the work. :-)

"We" are submitting this to this week's challenge over at Cricut Cardz - 9" x 4" tall card.  Ours just fell over ;-) 

 What we used:

~ Fancy Pants paper for the card and background

~ Colorbok for the frogs cut from PDDU

~ Bazzill for the sentiment

~ Ribbon from ????

I have 3 girls and I hope they will all learn to love paper crafting, too!!

Thanks for looking!!

Cowgirl birthday invitations

My daughter LOVES horses so everything for her birthday party later this month has to be about horse.  We're planning a horse themed tea party.  We'll see how that goes!  Horses and tea parties are not usually in the same sentence! :D

We started with a cowgirl invitation.  The info is written on another body shape underneath.

What I used:

• PDDU body cut at 5"
• clothes from PDDU cowgirl... skirt, shirt, vest
• clothes from PDDU cowboy... boots and hat (like it better than the girl's!)
• hair from PDDU Indian boy... all her friends have long hair!
• Bazzill cardstock for clothes
• scraps for the rest
• white gel pen
• faces made after seeing this on YouTube (I need lots more practice!!)

A couple of weeks ago, I saw this tip on a blog and I can't remember where...

For avoiding that flat spot where you fold a shaped card, make a second shape, score the second shape then glue together at the top...  For my girl, the hair would have hidden it, but this is really great for rounded shapes!!
