Coloring Books!!

Notice how I go forever without posting, and then suddenly have a LOT to post?  Yeah, that's the fun of my illness.  I may get a card or project done in a week, but will not be able to post them for a long time. 
:::Sigh:::

A few weeks ago  two of my little nieces were in the hospital.  (Not at the same time, thank goodness!)  But my 5-year old niece was in the ICU for a couple days, and while she was there, I made her a few quick coloring pages using my Cricut.  Well, those few coloring pages turned into a personalized coloring book! 
Then, my 2 year old niece (they are sisters) split her mouth open, and had to have a plastic surgeon fix it!  Oh the drama!  That lil' girl is fiesty!!  She was NOT letting the doc near her! (lol)  Well, they are both fine now, and all healed up.  But while they were recovering, I wanted them to have a "Quiet-Time" activity.  So here goes:

For my 5 year old niece, she is all about the princesses.

Then I did each of her favorite princesses by section, so Ariel is first:






Snow White Pages:

Sleeping Beauty (Aurora):
Belle/Beauty And The Beast:

Cinderella:


 Jasmine and Aladdin:
I tried to include each of the princess's castles/dwellings. :)  The book measures 8.5" x 11". She loved it!!

Now, here's an Animal Coloring book for her little sister.  I made it like this so that she can learn the animals names and sounds!!  (She already knows so many, but has so much fun saying their names, and sounding out the sounds they make!!  MOOOOO!!)

and the inside pages:



























I had to throw the adorable apple in there:
















And that's it!  This book measures 6" X 6".  A smaller book for smaller hands! :) 

Gotta love those Cricut Markers!!

Have a good one!
