Girls Trip New York - Part 6

Off to Gettysburg and Fly away Home!

leaf card

In the fall, I created these invitations to a church function for the women. They turned out really great! I used a doily, a leaf punched out of yellow and a rubber stamped image of a leaf. They are tied on with raffia.

Doll House

This last year for Christmas, my beauty girl asked for a doll house for her Barbies. Well, they were ridiculously expensive. So I called in some help and we remade this book shelf into a doll house.










The response was perfect.


Some of the props were re-purposed. The bathtub was a bread pan, the sink was a candle stick holder (upside down). The dresser up stairs was a jewelry box, kitchen table was a tile glued to a candle holder, rocking chair was a pin cushion. The wall paper was scrapbook papers

Race cards

Here are two versions of the same card. When ever I have a little boy to give a gift to, these designs are a hit....and really fast to create. The cars are embossed with red glitter embossing powder and the tag keys are attached with a brad. Pretty easy.

t-shirt transfer

I tried a t-shirt transfer for the first time. It went pretty smooth. We were making family Home evening shirts. The idea was to put on a symbol of truth. Anyway, I was feeling creative and each shirt was different. The blue was mine (mom), pink-white one was for beauty girl, the orange-white shirt was for my big 'ol boy and the plain white tee was for my main man (dad).

We finished our section about wearing the symbols and so now the kids are "allowed" to wear the shirts whenever, not just on Monday nights. It does my heart good because both kids want to wear their shirts and they do--often! Ha! By the way, the shirts were all purchased for either a dollar or less than $3.50 (good deal)
