Spending The Day With 3 Of My 4 Nieces!

Yesterday my sister took her oldest daughter to go Prom Dress shopping. She asked my mom to watch her younger 3 daughters. Nee Nee (me) went over to help. I took my expression, gypsy, and all that goes with it over to help my mom. I mentioned making shirts that the girls could paint from stencils cut from freezer paper. Mom said go for it. The 2 older girls chose what they wanted on their shirts and I picked something out for the youngest. I figured Hannah (10) would want to help me cut out her stencil, but no. Heidi (5) wanted to do everything she could. 

All 3 shirts fit into a challenge - lucky me. Hannah wanted "Girls Rule Boys Drool" She picked out a green shirt and painted with PINK, yellow and blue. We picked a crown for Henley (2). We got a PINK shirt and painted the crown yellow with PINK jewels. I am entering these into My Pink Stamper's first Blog Hop! 


Don't know why the color washed out.



Heidi wanted a shirt she could wear to her sister's,  Holly (16), basketball games. They are The Tonkawa Buccaneers. Their colors are orange and black. SKULLS and CROSSBONES are always a big hit with the Bucs. Heidi decided on a flag with a SKULL and CROSSBONE and the word Bucs. I am entering this shirt in Flaunt it Fridays  -FIF #7 - MINI MONSTERS Skull challenge.



Hannah and Heidi had so much fun helping with their shirts. Henley wanted to, but I didn't think she was old enough. She did, however, make her own design...

 



MY PINK STAMPER
I don't have any stamp sets yet (on my wish list). I can use PINK though.
"Girls Rule Boys Drool" was cut on at 1" from Plantin SchoolBook using Roly Poly. The "drool" drops were cut out at 3" from Paper Dolls for Everyday. They were welded to the word Droll using my Gypsy.

The "Crown" was cut at 12.47" from Paper Doll Dress Up.

FLAUNT IT FRIDAY -
I don't have Mini Monsters, but I do have a couple carts that have SKULLS and CROSSBONES (a must have for my family). The flag with SKULL and CROSSBONES was cut at 6.35" from Paper Doll Dress Up. "Bucs" was cut at 1" from Plantin SchoolBook using Roly Poly.

Here are all 3 of my girls in their new shirts.

FIF #6 Hello Kitty Greetings Airplane & Blog Hop Friday!

I am entering my first challenge. It is at Flaunt It Fridays.  The directions are:
          For this week's challenge we are flaunting the Hello Kitty
          Greetings cartridge and the cut is the Hello Kitty with
          Airplane on Page 65 of the handbook. If you do not own
          HKG feel free to use any cart with a similar cut to make
          yourself a "Faux" Hello Kitty and Airplane.

Well, I don't have the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge, so I had to make a "Faux" Hello Kitty. So, without further ado, here is my very first challenge..... 




I decided to make a Door-hanger. "Fly On In!" seemed like a cute saying to allow people to come into some little girl's room.

Recipe:
  • Door-hanger - (Tags, Bags, Boxes and More) cut at 11.58"out of a Rice Chex cereal box and a pink striped paper someone gave me
  • Cat - (Everyday Paper Dolls) cut at 3.76' out of white card-stock only using head and tail
  • Airplane - (Everyday Paper Dolls) cut at 1.63" out of a scrap of a gray resume paper and black cardstock
  • Thought Bubble - (Indie Art) cut at 2.88"out of white card-stock
  • Fly On In! - (Cursive 101) cut at 0.9" out of a scrap of pink paper

I used my Gypsy to weld my words and hide the sentiment that was already in the thought bubble. I cut the body off my cat and only used the head and tail. I used my black ZIG Millennium pen to show detail on the cat and airplane and to trace around the thought bubble. I wish I had face stamps, but that is on my LONG "wish list". I used my small foam squares to make the airplane pop out.

I hope you enjoyed my first attempt at a challenge. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think and any helpful suggestions.

Thanks!
