And now for my Projects!!

I made the Dorothy Shoe Card Kit.  The file comes with everything you need. A Card base, mat, yellow brick road and overlay, her legs, shoes, socks , skirt and apron!  Its so stinking cute....I love this card.  And how PERFECT does that sentiment from JB's new stamp set, Yellow Brick Road, to go with it? Ummmmm Perfectly Perfect that's how!

I couldnt stop there.. I also made some adorable FRY boxes!

Here is the Tin Man Fry Box. Its so super sweet. Love all the layers on it... from the hat, to the heart to the bow and buttons!

I put Hershey Nuggets, wrapped in red paper and stamped with Valentine Candy Wraps and the Wrapper Dies. The Valentine wraps worked so awesome since the Tin Man is all about HEART! I stamped the HEART candy stamp from the New Yellow Brick Road Candies Set.

Well you cant have a Fry Box without Dorothy,right?  So here is the Dorothy Fry Box.
Its relatively simple, with her apron dress and straps.  Cut File comes with circles for the buttons, but I added some real ones on here for show.  I stamped from the Yellow Brick Road stamp set unto a Mini Tag Die from Mini Tag Dies 2.  I then took some Andes Mints as I wanted to tie in Green for the Emerald City, and placed an Oz Candy stamp on a Candy Charm die.

I decided to make BLU!  I admit I have not seen this movie but one time so my memory is not great on it..and I have yet to see Rio2..but when I saw Blu in the Pith Helmet, I just KNEW I wanted to make him!

I thought it was funny for him to say It's A Jungle Out there..when he is a tropical bird in the jungle!  

So Blu is free for today ONLY...and I placed him on the Palm Tree Wave Tube holder to get the effect that he is in the jungle. I filled the 1 X 6 Plastic Tube with Fruit & Nut Trail Mix.  Stamped a great sentiment from Go Wild on  the Ticket book Die (shortened it slightly).  I wrapped some Midnight Blue Stripe twine aound the base and tied a bow!  Oooh I added the grass border bottom from the Spring Dies!

Girlie Girl Birthday Hop for Candace!

Hi Everyone, Today we are Celebrating Candace Z's 30th Birthday! Now if your here from Crystal then you're in the right place, if not then you may want to start at the very beginning.  Don't worry I have the whole line up at the end of this post. Let the Fun Begin and don't forget to stop by the Birthday Girl's Blog and Greet Her a Big Happy Birthday.
Now, I only recently met Candace and found her to be quite a Girlie Girl.  She likes Pinks and Purples, Hair, Make up, Shopping.... so I thought, PIECE OF CAKE to make a project for her.  Well I was wrong.... Girlie Girl was alot harder than I thought it would be! I decided on making two projects for Candace....

My first project is a new cute file, a Lipstick Tube Holder. I used Jaded Blossom's Flag die and sentiment stamp from the Pamper Yourself Set.  I also added the juicy lips from the Funny Mail set to tie it all together.  The Candy Tubes are filled with Rolos and Red hots and fits so nice in the new Lipstick Tube Holder.  I added some Simply Black Rumple Ribbon and love how it turned out.

My second project took a little more time to make because I really had no idea how to tie it altogether. My first plan, well that didnt pan out...so had to revamp and start again.  

I used the Clear Boxes from Jaded Blossom, and the fancy topper die.  I lined them up and cut two co-ordinating holes for my Lollipops to stick through.  I made the Lollipops from a Candy mold I got from Amazon and I luster dusted them with Pink Shimmer (in person it looks like REAL shimmer lipstick on those lips!).  I added the Such a Girlie Girl Title Cut and wrapped it with some Tickled Pink twine.  Inside I stamped some kisses from the Number Candies for her 30th B day.

I hope you enjoyed my Girlie Creations...Im soooo not a PINK person but I did have fun using these combos of colors!!
