I love the lip action going on in this photo! :) These pictures were taken an hour before sunset.

Grateful for the great photography tip.

Magnetic Paper Dolls in a Binder

I made this cute Barbie Doll Magnetic Book for my little lady for her 6th Birthday in November. She is going to have a Barbie themed party so I thought Barbie magnetic dolls would be a PERFECT present for her.  I was inspired to make this from a cute blog called Make it and Love it. Go here to see her's!

You want to make this adorable project for a Barbie lover in your life?!? 

First thing you will need to do is run on over to Hobby Lobby with some coupons of course!! and some friends and family so they can help you get your items for a lower price. Hand each of them a coupon for all of the supplies you will be buying at Hobby Lobby. 

Buy some Barbie paper doll cutouts. Use a coupon and they will be around $3!! Grab some sticky magnetic sheets at Hobby Lobby too. If you use a 40% of coupon you can buy one of them for $6. I bought 4 of them. I used my family to help me get all of them at once. I gave each of them a coupon, so I got a discount on all of them. In retrospect I wish I wouldn't have gone so over bored with the magnetic sheets and would have just stuck with 2 of them. There was over 150 paper doll cutouts and I wanted to magnetize all of them. My project would have been so much more costly friendly if I would have stuck to two sheets. While your at Hobby lobby grab yourself some; scrapbook paper, sponges, modge podge glue, and E600 glue.

After all of your paper dolls are cutout you will want to start working on the 3 ring binder. First thing you will want to do is print out a Barbie silhouette. You can find one on Google in images. Glue it on to a black piece of scrapbook paper and cut it out. Glue that on to the piece of scrapbook paper for your cover page. I bought a cute blingy E for Emma for the inside of the binder to personalize it.

Cover your inside with scrapbook paper. I used modge podge to adhere it to the binder.

Adhere a piece of paper to the 2 sheets of metal. I found mine at the very back of the store for a $1 at Lowe's. Use your E6000 glue to adhere the sheet of metal to the binder.

Last but not least put in your envelopes filled with your doll clothes.


 I bought my envelopes at Target for 67 cents each.

Adding to Emma's Banner

HELLO! Tonight I want to share with all of you this fun project I worked on while visiting my family in Utah. During my visit I made going to Hobby Lobby one of the number one things to do while I was there.  Guess what I found? These cute words for my girls banner!! Can I tell all of you how much I'm looking forward to my Hobby Lobby's opening day.  One more month countdown!!!! I LOVE this store so much. I was inspired to make these because of the ones I found at Pottery Barn Kids. There's is so much more EXPENSIVE then mine were at $5 per word. With a 40% off coupon it could be around $3 bucks. Buy one each time you go in TO GET THAT PRICE. or you could bring in a couple of friends and give them each a coupon and some cash to get it at that price in one trip.  I bought my paint at Johann's craft store. $3 bucks total for that. I LOVE the way they turned out. Super duper cute!! It really adds so much more to the banner and her room.

Here is the words that I found hanging above the Pottery Barn Kids store's banner. $17 bucks each. Not bad actually when they were originally $39 each! Mine were $5 bucks each.

Springtime Collage

This Spring time collage was so much fun to put together and I love the way it looks in my home. It brightens up the whole room. I found this fabulous idea to put scrapbook paper in a collage frame in Stampin Up magazine.  You will notice in the tutorial on step 6 I used a silhouette machine. Sadly, I don't have one of my own. I tell you I definitely plan on owning one of my own in the near future. It is so unbelievably AMAZING!! Lucky for me I have fabulous friend who you may all know, Heidi from Sew Craft Create let me use hers :) Yay!!!! The flowers I used in my Spring collage came from Jen from Tatertots and Jello who made this  Flower Wreath isn't it so cute!!! :)  The tiny pinwheels were really easy to make you can find a tutorial on how to make them here. I used toothpicks that I found at my local grocery store to put the pinwheels on. The string on the banner is baker's twine. I LOVE that stuff!!

I hope you all enjoyed my Springtime collage tutorial and have fun making one of your own! The best part of this is you can keep it up until Summer comes around. Also, next Springtime you can switch this year photos for next years photos :).
