Party Princess

Nope. I didn’t create this party table for my daughter. It’s a mock-up using Danielle Young Designs‘ Party Princess printables. However, my 2.8 year old daughter surely enjoyed this set up. It was like her birthday party! She completely wrecked the entire thing! Hehe. She was so happy devouring all the goodies.

Do you like this Play-Doh cupcakes? Yummm… flower frosting!

It’s just cheap felt I bought from a local craft store many many years ago.
Cut felt using Sizzix Bigz Die – Spiral/Garland. Loosely roll, start from the outside. I didn’t use any glue.

Shrunk the cupcake topper to 70%. Layered it over scallop circle cut out.

This is how I made the cupcake topper using lollipop sticks.

Reduce Bottle Wrapper template to 45% to cover the mini Play-Doh.

These Hershey Kisses flower pots/holders were inspired by Pretty Visage’s flowers at Etsy.

I used six 1.5″ paper circles per flower. You can use more for different look.
Make a cone. Do this for all six petals.

Squish the center.
Unfold. Put adhesive on crease, both sides.
Fold it back to make the cone.

Attach three petals together to form the base.

Add three more petals inside the base flower/pod, alternating the cleft.

These flowers were easier and quicker to make than my snow flowers. I kept some baby wipes to clean glue off my fingers.

Bend/distress the edge with fingers.
Reduce Cupcake topper template to 35% for the Kisses’ crown. Cut it out with 3/4″ circle punch.

Party Princess Printables have bottle wrappers template.
Printed on River Linen paper from Red River Paper.

Place cards to wrap juice pouches.

Bottle wrappers for Hershey’s nuggets.

Reduce Bottle Wrapper template to 57.75%. Cut the width to 3″.

Party Princess Printables also have customizable invitation design template.

See how easily you can decorate party table with Party Princess Printables! =)

Goodbye, Jimmy!

It’s a mini fan out album using the camera element from Happy Snapper digital kit.

Size: approximately 2 x 1.5″

Digital Kit: Happy Snapper by Captivated Visions. This kit was included in August The Digi Files from TheDailyDigi.com.

Tutorial was for August Playbook.

My son took gazillion photos of his hermit crabs, Mr. Stik and Jimmy to celebrate their birthdays and demanded that I printed all of them out. Yeah right! Not happening. So, I selected few of my favorite photos, and printed all in a 11 x 8.5 River Linen paper from Red River Paper and made a tiny album. It was a hit! He loved it and was showing it off to his friends. He thanked me many times.

Create the clipping masks using the camera element (in Photoshop, select the whole image by Control/Command + click on the layer. Create a new layer. Fill in the color). Multiplicate(?) the masks in separate layers and clip the photos. Make sure to have one mask flip horizontally for the back page.

Cut all the pages with scissors.

Glue the last image to the reverse side of the back cover page.

Make a hole on the pages. Take out the handle from the binder clip and add the album pages (add few pages at a time).

Add clear circle sticker on the lense.

We bought both hermit crabs two months ago. Mr. Stik from Outer Bank, NC, and Jimmy from a local PetSmart store. Jimmy was more active and friendly one. He even survived a fall from a dining room table after this photo shoot in July.

He died today. *sniff* *sniff*

Photo Everyday Mini Album

Number of View: 835

My daughter is starting school tomorrow and my son will on Monday. I can’t believe the summer vacation is over already! How am I going to wake up early from now on!!! Hehe.

During the break, I wanted to take photos everyday, but I kept forgetting to take photos a lot of times. So, I gave up on day 75 (89 days of summer vacation). I was getting tired of taking photos of the same stuff over and over again and didn’t see the point of photo journalling. I want to try it again in the future though. Perhaps, I’ll have a better idea to take photos of ordinary things in different perspective.

This 4.75 x 4.75 handmade album was created with July The Digi File from TheDailyDigi.com. And the tutorial was for July Playbook.

Cover.
Digital paper (white polka dot on black) from AUDacious designs “fresh” kit (from July The Digi File).
“Summer” was hand written by me (gasp!!!) using a Wacom pen tool to copy the letter style from Emily’s Hybrid@Home 5, 31 Day Calendar Layered Template (This is no longer available.)
“2010″ from the template (Combined 20 and 10) and recolored.

The template came in 4.75 x 4.75, so I created 9.5 x 9.5 document for two side-by-side layouts to print on 12×12 paper.

Score, cut, and fold in the middle.

Using double sided adhesive sheet and attach all the pages. Use brayer to smooth out the surface.

Measure the spine.

Make the cover. Score and fold the spine, and don’t forget to score a line on the back cover (1.25″ spacing on my sample. I think .75″ would’ve worked better). This will prevent the book from warping when you open it up. Look at children’s board books for reference.

Inside the back cover, attach the double side adhesive sheet, make sure not to add the adhesive on the extra score space.
