Frozen Birthday Drama

As most of you know Disney's Frozen has been a HUGE success.  It is by far one of my favorite movies...and Sophia's also.  My husband and I took the kids to see this movie end of December.  Little did I know she would fall into instant love.  The music is phenomenal and the story line is not the typical.  She now sings and pretty much knows the movie by heart.

 

My little princess is now wanting an Elsa Birthday.  I thought "Sure not a big deal", I'll just hook myself up at party city.  But before I knew it, I hadn't drawn my guest list to figure out a rough count.  By the time I went to purchase needed items everything was SOLD OUT.  It is now mid February and most places are still sold out.  You can find a single thing you might need in about five different sites.  After shipping its insane. 

 

The party favors where my biggest issue...so I decided to make my own.  And so we begin...

 

The inspiration to create my own party favors came mostly from my daughter but also the fact that the favors are not really that great.  They are disposable....not memorable at all.  Most of them are unless you can come up with (or have the money) for something extraordinary.  I also wanted the girls that came to celebrate Sophia's birthday to walk away with something that they would enjoy for a lot longer than a temporary tattoo or stickers.

 

Hair Accessories!!!!

 

And after a long debate with MYSELF (that's when the crazy comes out) I decided to post these all in my Etsy Shop.  

 

After many hours of trying out new ways to come up with something unique (at least to my eye) I came up with several different hair accessories to incorporate as the party favors...or "Thank You For Coming" gifts.  I can't even remember what I created first...so in no particular order....here you go!

Floating Waterfall Page Tutorial

What up Crafty Peeps!!!

Some time ago I came up with an idea of putting together a waterfall page but without the actual working "pull tab".  What I came up with was the Floating Waterfall Page.  I also wanted to still see the actual background paper. 

Almost all the time we use the prettiest of papers and we cover them up with embellishments and photo mats and all that other yummy goodness.  So, I figured why not work around that so I can still take advantage of the beautiful paper.

Below is the video tutorial on how I made my Floating Waterfall Page.

Enjoy and thanks for watching!

New Shabby Flower Tutorial

Hello Crafty Peeps!!!

Ok, so I'm gonna try to not over type this time...I said try...

I have a new Shabby Flower Tutorial up.  I love the way this flower comes out, they always come out different.  I can never make them the same because I'm always trying to make them different...geez.

I used a Tim Holtz die, Tattered Florals ~ love this die.

Here the video to my tutorial.  Hope y'all find it useful/helpful.

Hugs,
