Throwback Thursday - Princess!

Emma over at My Creative Time is doing another Throwback Thursday.  This week's theme is Princess!!  YEAH!  You are either supposed to use the Tinkerbell cartridge (which I don't have) or an older cartridge, but the theme is Princess.  Well, when all else fails - go to Hannah Montana!  Ok - I know, that sounds funny, but I have a 5 year old that LOVES her.  To my surprise the Hannah Montana cart has a tiara!  I used the crown and welded my little girls' name to the bottom of the tiara shadow.  The font is from Plantin Schoolbook. What is a crown without a little bit of pink bling?!
 (Tiara in front of the holder)

I was originally going to do a normal card, but I decided to change it up a little bit.  Instead I made a little holder for the tiara and her name so that you couldn't see the name.  I used the George cartridge and welded an oval and a rectangle to create the little pocket and attached it to a big rectangle. 
 (The picture is a little dark, but you get the idea)

Since my little girl loves bling, princesses, pink, purple, flowers and anything with her name on it - I know she'll love this one.  I think it's going to be one of the little notes that I put in her lunch bag.  I hope you enjoy it and thanks so much for stopping by!! :)

Multi-Person Card

My Mom is in a position in our church where she needs a lot of cards.  There's been several times when one card is not enough for people to sign.  So I got thinking about what I could do to help, that's when the idea for this card came into play.


For the card holder - I used the DS software to weld a rectangle to two tags, all from the George cartridge.  I put a square with rounded edges for the window part.  Of course I used Walk In My Garden for the butterfly, bee and lady bug.  Paper Doll Dress Up was used for the grass.  I used the DS software to change the width.


For the 'Card' part - I used 3 pieces of paper cut into quarters and my Crop-O-Dile to do the holes at the top of the card.  I split the paper in half since my eyelets weren't big enough for all of the papers.  I put two eyelets in one half facing forward (squishing it), and two eyelets on the second half facing backwards.  I did it this way so that no matter what side you saw it looks like the nice side of the eyelets.  After that I just put some ribbon through the eyelets to hold the two sections together, plus I just thought it was cute! :)


 I hope you like my idea.  It could be used for big work gatherings (Good Luck, Congrats, Happy Birthday, etc) or for a teacher (all the kids could sign part), or for church.  Thanks for looking everyone!!!! :)
