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.
  Cover:

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!!)

Cover:

Close up of the Dragonfly sticker:

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!

A Toddler's Dance Recital

Hi everyone!

Have you all seen a toddler's dance recital before?  Oh my gosh...it was the cutest thing ever!!!  My little niece had her first recital last night! She did AMAZING!  And kudos to the dance teacher for having the patience to teach dance to 3 and 4 year old girls! Hehe.

Here are a couple cards that I made for my niece.  I made one for me to give, and one for my mom to give.  My niece LOVES everything disney, so that is why I chose these cuts.

I also put Daisy and Minnie on those wobble springs so they would "dance" or wiggle too!!  :)

 Here is the inside: (I covered my niece's name..since it's not my kid, I don't want to post anything like that.)

The inside was just wrote with my Cricut Markers. I think I should have 'welded' the letters together, becuase to me, it looks like I just used a stencil to write it all out!! Ah well.  Live and learn!! haha.)
 
I also made a frame for my mom this week.  (since blogger has been down for DAYS!! ugh)  I was inspired by one of the Disney Blog Hops that went on over the past week.... (I'm pretty sure it was within the past week.  I can't find the post now..so when I do, I will give credit where it's due!!!!) 

 I cut the frame from the Happy Hauntings Cricut cartridge.  I tweaked it to my liking, adding a rectangle inside instead of the oval it came with.  And instead of cutting out all parts of the frame, I just added  the frame cut, (cut in two layers of chipboard) to a photo frame that I purchased.
The white in the middle, is because I never think to take the picture BEFORE adding the personal photo!! DUH!!  So, I just threw that in to cover the photo. (Again, it's of kiddos in my family, so I don't put that on the 'net!)
My mom liked it so much that she requested more!!  She is going to look through my cartridges, and pick out the characters that she wants!!  That way she will have all personal, matching frames to showcase pix from her latest Disneyland trip with the grandkids! :) 

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my projects!!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! :)
