WOW!

2011-10-05T11:21:00.000-04:00

I think this is the longest I have ever neglected my blog. While I could rattle off a million excuses, I won't. I will just update the blog with my latest creations. Enjoy!

Time...

2011-06-27T12:38:00.002-04:00

I have so neglected my blog. It has been nearly 2 months since I have updated this. Bad crafter! I have been creative. Completing Sunshine's birthday invites and decorations...making a few Father's Day and Mother's Day cards and doing a few orders for family and friends. So I will just show some pictures of projects and make a mental promise to come in and update everytime I complete a project. :-)

It's Birthday Time!

2011-05-02T20:05:00.001-04:00

Sunshine's birthday is approaching so I have been B-U-S-Y! This year we are going with a western/cowgirl theme. I also had the crazy notion to do a seperate theme for her party at school. What was I thinking?!? Well the school party is small so I only created party hats and treat bags. That theme is her favorite show...Yo Gabba Gabba. I found someone on Etsy selling theses and I figured I could make them easily and I was right! I bought bags from M's and added the faces. For the hat I used Life's a Party and added the faces. Thanks for looking.

I Got my Mojo Back!

2011-04-19T11:53:00.000-04:00

Well....sorta. You crafters know how it is when you have just lost the desire or the creativity to create. I was in a funk for quite some time but slowly but surely I am coming back. I have made a few cards in the last few weeks and I have started on decorations for Sunshine's 4th birthday party. I came in the dust off my blog and drop off a few cards. Thanks for looking and Enjoy!

Cool Trick

2011-02-23T10:07:00.000-05:00

Sunshine's favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba. They have a part of the show where kids do a 'cool trick'. Sunshine saw this trick and she was determined to do it.

Cards

2011-02-17T10:25:00.000-05:00

Making cards is my passion. If I could I would create a few everyday. I love to make these in adavance so that I always have a stash when the occassion arises. A friend asked me to make a few cards and this is what I came up with.

52 Weeks

2011-02-17T10:23:00.000-05:00

I am challenging myself to do a layout a week. Of course as I type this I am 2 weeks behind but I do have good intentions. The layouts for my '52 Weeks' Scrapbook are all 8x8 so it makes them a bit easier to scrap. Here are the January pages.

Valentines

2011-02-17T10:21:00.000-05:00

Here are a few (cough) adult Valentines. I made a very cute 'Love Coupon' Book and a card. I finally used my Your Story Photo. I won this on Jinger's facebook page when they first came out and it has been sitting in the box. I really love this and can't wait to use it again. I could only show 2 pages out of the coupon book cause the rest are a bit to adult for my blog! ;)

Create a Critter Video

2011-02-09T17:23:00.000-05:00

I got alot of messages and PMs asking me how I made these adorable cards so I did a quick video today with instructions. I hope this helps. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. Thanks!

I Made the Cricut Chirp

2011-02-04T10:26:00.000-05:00

These adorable Valentine's Day cards were mentioned in this week's Cricut Chirp. The Chirp is an online newletter that Provo Craft emails out weekly. They get projects that are posted on the messageboard and mention them.

When I got my email I looked at the cute projects and when I saw my picture I thought..."hmmm someone made some cards just like mine." It didn't dawn on me that they were my cards until I clicked the link! How slow is that! duh!

Anyway I made these for my Sunshine's daycare class. She LOVES them so I am sure the other 3 and 4 year olds will aslo. Thanks for looking!

Born to Rock a Mohawk

2010-11-08T11:22:00.001-05:00

This is my take on this week's sketch over at Platinum Scraps. I used my newly purchased Rock Princess cart. For the rock princess I made a few edits to her hairstyle. ;-) She originally had a afro but I cut it down to match Sunshine's mohawk. I also used my Imagine for the musical notes paper. The pictures of my Sunshine just makes the layout...in my opinion. ;-) She loves to wear her mohawk!

Smiley Card Circle Challenge

2010-11-03T09:51:00.000-04:00

This is a card I made for the weekly circle contest using Smiley Cards. Provo Craft recently gave this cart to all gypsy owners free of charge! It is a very cute cart with lots of smiley images.

For the circle challenge, you had to follow a sketch and make a birthday card or LO with buttons.

Layouts, Cards, Etc

Updating my blog with a few challenges that I completed for Platinum Scraps.

Altered Martha Stewart Favor Boxes

2010-10-19T06:03:00.001-04:00

I am this week's designer over at Tuesday Treats! Be sure to go on over and check out the amazing projects. Today I am showing you an item I altered for Halloween. Last week I started looking at my cartridges for a goody bag or box to make to give to the kiddos at Sunshine's (my 3yo DD) daycare for Halloween. I wanted something easy to make because I needed 20. I looked through my carts then I looked through my "supplies" and I came across these boxes. I purchased these last year from Big Lots when they had all of the Martha Stewart wedding stuff on clearance. There are 20 in the pack...just the amount I needed. Now I just had to find a way to alter them so they are Halloween themed.

I started with some ink. I got my studio G ink and a dauber and started to color the box orange. There is a little white bow that I removed from the front of the box. I did not color the inside of the box but I made sure to include the sides.

It covered fairly easy and quickly. Now off to my gypsy to see what images I can use. I wanted to cover the clear window. Don't want 3 year olds to see their treats. ;-) The box folded is a little over 2 1/2 inches. I used the pumpkin from Gypsy Wanderings cut at 2.5 by 2.3.

On another page I added the shadow with a spider from Designer's Calendar and bats from Paper Doll Dress Up. For the bats I removed all of the score lines that showed the eyes and accents on the wings. I did this because the image is so small - only 2.5 by 2.25 and the lines barely cut anyway.

The spider was added onto a square on the inside of the box to cover the see through window.

The three welded bats were added to each side of the box and I accented the face and wings with my white gel pen.

A little inking to the edges of the pumpkin and some pop dots to add dimension to the pumpkin finishes off this cute little treat box. ((Probably overkill for a bunch of 3 year olds but Sunshine loved it! ))

This was a quick, easy and fun way to make these cute little boxes fit a Halloween theme. I am sure they will be a hit at daycare. Thank you all for checking out my project. Be sure to visit me at Tuesday Treats. Have a great day!

Imagine Best Friends

2010-10-14T10:03:00.000-04:00

I made this card with an image from Best Friends. I made sure I layered my image because I LOVE layers. I also inked the edges a little and used my gel pen to add a few accents. I had to pull out my gypsy and expression to make the word 'relax'. Thanks for looking!

Weekly Circle Challenge

2010-10-12T11:08:00.000-04:00

Since joining the cricut circle I have really been challenged with my scrapping. This LO is for this weeks challenge. We were to make a project with 3 of the following: pink, flourishes, ruffles, glitter or jewels. As you can see these are pics of Sunshine when she was 3 months old. I kept a journal of her first year and the typed part is a journal entry that I wrote telling how much she has changed my life. This is my first Imagine project also. All cuts were done on the Imagine with the exception of the flourishes. Those were on Gypsy Wandering so I couldn't use my I for those. There are some amazing prizes this week. Wish me luck!

French Manor

2010-10-07T14:21:00.000-04:00

Here is my entry is this week's Cricut Circle contest. This card was cut from French Manor and I used my heat set tool to add a little bling with purple and green gems.

Copic Coloring

2010-09-25T19:30:00.000-04:00

Here is a video I did for Platinum Scraps on coloring with copic markers. As you all know I LOVE coloring with these amazing markers. This shows how I was taught to blend with different shades.

Love Machine

2010-09-21T10:00:00.002-04:00

Hello Crafters! I was asked to be a guest designer on The Bug Bytes. I was really excited to design somthing for Pam's blog so I made a card from the Robotz cartridge. I am a card maker first and a scrapper second so I really enjoyed making this card. I love this cartridge but I needed it to work for my passion of cards. I looked at several of the robotz to see if I could weld them together to a make a card. I finally came up with this idea.
To begin I added 2 images of the robot to my screen, overlapping them so that they are connected in the middle. By doing this it will eliminate one of the arms but I will show you how I added that back in a bit. Be sure to weld your image!

I then added another page to add my layers to the mat. I added the layers twice because I wanted then in 2 different colors. I also copied one image of the robot from the first page. (this ties in with that overlapping arm)

Fold the welded robot in the middle to make the card. Take the single robot and glue it on top of the folded card robot.

Tada! Our robot now has 2 arms!

I used word to print my sentiment on a blank sheet of paper. I then used clever someday’s hinge method - http://cleversomeday.wordpress.com/2009/09/22/hinge-technique-for-cutting-printouts/ - to cut out the robot with the sentiment.

I cut off the arms and antennas and added this to the inside of the card.

I added the layers to the front of the card and used my black gel pen to accent a few areas to complete the look.

Thanks Pam for having me! I had alot of fun creating this card. Be sure to visit The Bug Bytes for other great projects!

Mature Cards

2010-09-11T20:32:00.001-04:00

I got a request for a sexy mature card that a wife wanted to give to her husband. I immediately thought of Kenny K's digital images. He has quite a few sexy ladies on his site. I used my copics to color them. After cutting out Miss Fortune, I realized that she would look nice sitting on something. I pulled out my G and made a test cut of the sofa on French Manor. She fit perfectly! I used my cuttlebug to emboss the sofa and placed Miss Fortune on the right side. The other image is Delores D'ammage.

Work It!

2010-09-01T17:22:00.001-04:00

This is last week's challenge over at Platinum Scraps. The challenge was to use the colors pink, green and lavender.

Sunshine Door Hanger

2010-08-30T16:28:00.001-04:00

I created this for a challenge on Platinum Scraps using Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cart.

Bon Voyage

2010-08-30T16:26:00.000-04:00

This was Sunshine's first cruise! We had just boarded the ship and were out looking over the port in Tampa.

I Promise

2010-08-30T16:23:00.002-04:00

At Sunshine's first visit to the dentist I promised her a toy if she would be a big girl. While waiting for the dentist, she asked me "Mommy will it hurt?" I said no. She then asked "You promise?" A Ni Hao Kai Lan doll was her gift for being such a big girl! Here is the layout I made with Sunshine and her new doll. :-)

More Mo's Images

2010-08-05T20:16:00.000-04:00

I made this card based on a sketch from pagemaps and I used one of Mo's digital images.

Sprinkled with Fun

2010-08-02T12:32:00.000-04:00

Here is a LO I did based a sketch I got from http://letsscrap.ning.com/

Here is the sketch:

Here is my take on it:

Chore Chart #2

2010-08-01T09:46:00.001-04:00

A couple of months ago I created a chore chart to help Sunsine with understanding her daily chores. Since then cricut has come out with a chore chart LITE cart. This was the first lite cart I bought. With the previous chart I had to explain what each icon meant....with this one Sunshine understands. :) I bought a magnetic calendar board from Walmart and used magnet material for the base on each icon. I layered the top with cardstock.

Copic Crazy!!!

2010-07-22T19:55:00.001-04:00

I have gone copic crazy! Since taking the copic basic and blending class last weekend, I have purchased a few markers and I am coloring everyday. I figure practice makes perfect! Here are a few images I have colored.

I can't remember where I found this cute little girl. I was looking at Free Digital Stamps blog and I saved quite a few so I am not exactly sure where I got her from. She is such a cutie!

This is Ruby from bugaboostamps.com. She is a riot! There is a whole line of Ruby stamps and I am sure I will be purchasing more. The inside of the card says "Hate me because your boyfriend thinks so!" LOL!

These 2 images are from Mo's Digital Pencil. I really love her images.

This is a Bratz coloring page. I don't really like how she turned out but I love the DCWV Blue Jean stack so I decided to use her since it looks like she has on jeans.

This is another image I found from Free Digital Stamps blog. Again, not sure where I got her from but she is such a cutie.

Another coloring page image.

Copics!!!

2010-07-18T10:45:00.003-04:00

I took a copic class at a local LSS this weekend and I am totally hooked! I had bought a few markers a while back but I just couldn't get the hang of em so I put them in a drawer and forgot about them. When a fellow scrapper (thanks Truth) told me about this class so I eagerly signed up. I took 2 classes - a beginning class and a blending class. I REALLY learned how to use these markers and how to BUY them. Before I just went and picked up colors I thought were pretty. Now I understand that I must buy colors in a family that will blend well. Anyway....here are the cards we made in class. Now my only problem is that I want more markers!

I Scream....You Scream

2010-07-16T06:10:00.000-04:00

I did this LO for Jinger Adam's contest on Facebook. She wanted a LO that showed summertime ice cream treats. This is what I came up with. Now I gotta take some pics of Sunshine eating ice cream!

Plant a Seed....

2010-07-05T22:03:00.002-04:00

Sunshine wanted to plant flowers so off to Lowes we went to buy a few. After being outside in the heat for 15 minutes she asked to go inside. LOL! I had to scrap these cute pics of her planing her flowers.

Birthday and Shoes Layouts

2010-07-05T16:40:00.000-04:00

These two layouts are my most recent submissions over at Platinum Scraps.

I am still scrapping our most recent family vacation. We took this pic in Roatan outside Fat Tuesday.

Sunshine's 3rd Birthday. I went to daycare with cake. I think Sunshine was more excited about me being there than with the cake!

Rock*Star

2010-06-21T09:46:00.001-04:00

Here is my ROCKSTAR at her 3rd Birthday party!

I completed this layout for Platinum Scraps.

Happy Father's Day!

2010-06-21T09:44:00.002-04:00

I created these cards for some of the men in me and Sunshine's life for Father's Day.

Shirley Temple

2010-06-08T16:22:00.000-04:00

While on our Family Cruise, Sunshine LOVED drinking Shirley Temples. Well....she really just loved eating the cherries. This was her drink of choice throughout the entire cruise.

I completed this LO for the weekly challenge over at Platinum Scraps.

Chore Chart

2010-06-03T19:58:00.001-04:00

I made this chart for Sunshine....no, really for me. :) Lately there have been temper tantrums at bedtime and in the morning when she first wakes up. I explained it to her and told her she need to get 5 smiley faces all day to get a prize and if she gets that all week long, she will get a special treat. She is yet to get a special treat but she is doing better at bedtime. :)

Magnetic smiley faces from oriental trading. All cuts from cricut carts and the magnetic board (11.5x11.5) from Wally World.

Family Cruise Vacation 2010

2010-06-03T19:54:00.000-04:00

I am determined to scrap as many pictures as I can from our recent family vacation. We took a 7 day cruise to Isla Roatan, Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Belize. I have HUNDREDS to pictures and I want to scrap and journal them asap. Here are a few layouts I completed so far.

We went to a grocery store in Roatan. The currency there is called Lempiras. 19 lempiras is equal to 1 US dollar! My sister took pictures of the prices of the items on the shelf. Both Curt and I wanted the receipt but he let me have it to scrap. We spent 427 lempiras which equaled out to $24 US according to the receipt but the cashier gave us back 16 lempiras!

Sunshine's Birthday Invite

2010-05-27T20:40:00.002-04:00

Here is the invites I made for Sunshine's 3rd birthday. These were really simple to make and they fit her jungle theme.

PLATINUM SCRAPS CHALLENGE

2010-05-27T19:56:00.002-04:00

Here is my take on this week's and last week's challenge on Platinum Scraps. This LO really challenged me but I am pleased with the outcome.

I really love the flower on this one. We had to use paper from one of our sponsors. The challenge was to only use that paper.

PLATINUM SCRAPS CHALLENGES

Here is a LO sketch that I did for Platinum Scraps' weekly challenge. I did two layouts with the same sketch. Thanks for looking!

OWL Always Love You!

2010-03-17T12:38:00.002-04:00

Another Straight From the Nest Card. Did I mention how much I love this cart? This paper is from DCWV Whimsy Stack. I got the card sketch from a magazine and I must say I will use this sketch again. I really like how the folded end looks.

Butterfly Kisses

2010-03-17T12:36:00.001-04:00

I ordered Straight From the Nest from HSN a few weeks ago and I just LOVE this cart! The images match this paper perfectly. The paper is from one of Platinum Scraps' sponsors and the colors are WONDERFUL!

eieio

2010-03-17T12:32:00.003-04:00

My Sunshine LOVES this song so I made this layout and submitted it for Platinum Scraps free for all challenge for the week of March 9th. Head over to PS to check out the other ladies amazing work.

Scrap Room Makeover....Pictures

2010-03-01T12:45:00.001-05:00

SCRAP ROOM MAKEOVER....

Here are before and after pics of my scrap room makeover. I was tired of not having enough storage and I wanted a bigger work space. I bought kitchen base cabinets and countertop to make a wall to wall work space. There's more I need to do to finish the look (painting, cord management, etc) but it will be that way for a while. Gotta get back to creating.... :)

BEFORE....

Scrap work area.

Above Scrap work area.

Computer Work area...

Cutting down the cabinets....

Have tools, can cut!

AFTER

This was previously my computer work area.

Now it's my Jet Maxx Storage area.

MM Embelly Centers

Scrap work area. Countertops and base cabinets.

Updated Scraproom

2010-02-24T11:44:00.009-05:00

Last weekend I updated my scrap room.....well, my brother did and I helped. ((thank you Curtis)) I really needed better organization in my room because I bought a Xyron Creatopia but I did not have anywhere to store it. On my original video, seen HERE, I had 2 tables in my room, one for my laptops and the other for crafting. This was taking up too much room so I eliminated one table and replaced the other with wall to wall countertops. I LOVE my room now and I have so much more storage. Check out my space.

February Altered Item Challenge

2010-02-24T11:31:00.000-05:00

This is my project for this week's challenge over at Platinum Scraps. We were challenged to alter a picture frame. I took this opportunity to showcase Sunshine.

It's All About LOVE!

2010-02-12T10:29:00.000-05:00

VALENTINE CARDS!

2010-02-12T10:07:00.001-05:00

Here is a LO I did with an old pic of Miss Sunshine.....In honor of Valentine's Day!

Love Rain Down

2010-02-08T18:39:00.002-05:00

I designed this 2 page layout for the weekly challenge on Platinum Scraps. I used Sweethearts, Storefront, Winter Woodland, George, Everyday Paper Dolls, Stretch Your Imagination, Gypsy Wanderings, Gyspy Font

Platinum Scraps Challenge Blog

2010-01-31T19:47:00.006-05:00

I am a designer for Platinum Scraps! A group of us ladies who met on the Cricut message board got together to form a challenge blog. We will showcase our work through weekly challenges. This is our first challenge for February. Please stop by Platinum Scraps to view all of the designer's excellent layouts. Here is my interpretation of the sketch.

All Dressed Up

2010-01-20T15:42:00.012-05:00

This layout was in my mind for weeks now. Ever since I got the Forever Young cart I have had this image in my head. I LOVE THIS CART! While Provo has alot of cute, girly cartridges, this is a sophisticated grown woman cart. ((smile))

I also used EDPD, Paisley and Home Decor.

Love.....

2010-01-16T21:39:00.004-05:00

Love..... nuff said! :)

My first Iris folding card! I really, really love this technique but I need more practice.

Here is a LO I did in honor of the late, great MLK!

Happy Birthday Brittany

2010-01-16T21:05:00.004-05:00

These are two cards for my neice birthday. She loves Hello Kitty.

This cut is from Forever Young. I think this is my new favorite cart.

Since Brittany is the queen of text messages, I made the inside with all text abbreviations. Can you decode it? lol :)

The Princess and the Frog

2010-01-15T22:13:00.003-05:00

I finally scrapped our Princess and the Frog movie trip. Miss Sunshine LOVED this movie.

Tiana and the Frog are SCAL cut files from Mardenz.
Font from Jasmine and Gypsy Wanderings; flourish from Home Decor; SMACK and lips from Indie; flowers Martha Stewart pop up punch.

For Brittany...

2010-01-12T11:42:00.002-05:00

My niece has been asking me for months to make her something for her laptop. She got a DSi for Christmas so she started asking again. Since her birthday is coming up I decided to surprise her with both. She loves Betty Boop and Hello Kitty so I did both out of vinyl along with her name. The Betty Boop is a SCAL file that I got from Mardenez. I also used SCAL for her name. Both of these are for her laptop. Hello Kitty is from the cricut cartridge and that one is for her DSi.

Cards

2010-01-12T11:39:00.002-05:00

Here are a few cards I created for a very nice lady at church. She loves my cards and always asks me to make some for her. The first one I made as a thank you for her business.

Bookatrix Card

2010-01-08T14:43:00.013-05:00

This is my first attempt at a bookatrix card. I have fallen love with this type of card and I hope to get better with designing them.

I got this SCAL cut file from here http://laurassvgs.blogspot.com/2009/12/princess-tiana-from-princess-and-frog.html. Laura does AMAZING work.

Miss Sunshine LOVED it. I plan to cut another one with better paper for a layout after we see the movie.

Christmas Cards

2009-11-30T10:07:00.001-05:00

This year I just made random cards for Christmas. Some I duplicated but most of these are one of a kind. I wanted a variety to mail out this year.

You may very well see the card that you will get in the mail in a few weeks! :)

Here are a few Christmas tags I made....

Red Expression!

2009-11-30T09:57:00.000-05:00

Ok, I caved in.....

Even though I already had an expression, once I saw the exclusive colors that Wally World would have on Black Friday, I knew I had to get the RED one. I LOVE RED!!!!

I pulled my mom and brother with me to Walmart at 5am on Friday to make sure I would get one. There was no rush on them at my Wally World....only one taken by the time I got to the display so I was able to easily pick up the Red one and a new cart.

Check out my new "Sheila Cri-Cri" (I name all my toys 'Sheila') :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2009-10-22T13:48:00.001-04:00

I made this t-shirt for Miss Sunshine. I used my gypsy and cricut and freezer paper. Cut the image, iron on the freezer paper and use fabric paint. She is going to LOVE this. I can hear her singing now......

Sunshine needed a pail for daycare to carry home all of the sweet sweet candy she will get. I found a pail at Michael's but decided to add her name and a few spiders.

Sistas Challenge and More.....

2009-10-22T13:42:00.000-04:00

Book of ME! This is the "What's in a Name" page. I still have to add a few more emblishments to it but I really like the colors.

This is a thank you card I made for my niece - well 25 of them - for her to give out after her baby shower.

Sista challenge......

Your challenge … if you choose to accept is to create an 8x8 LO of yourself with the word Sista on the page…..for my Sista Scrapbook. You cannot use the Cricut or any Provocraft products…back to the basics with old fashion scissors, stickers, chipboard and punches, etc.... Scrap your stash….I would also like for you to include the dahlia fold in your LO…this is one of my favorite techniques..check out this video below…. If you do not have a circle punch that will be the only exception for using the Cricut.

Sista challenge. This is using the faux quilt technique.

Sesame Street Shape Book

2009-10-14T14:21:00.000-04:00

I made this book for Miss Sunshine. We went to see Sesame Street Live! last weekend and she has been hoarding the pictures. She keeps looking at them over and over so I made a book to put a few in that she can have. Surprisingly for her to be so young, she take excellent care of her books. I am sure she will love this!

I CAN do Layouts!

2009-10-06T20:52:00.000-04:00

I don't think I am a layout gal. Cards & wordbooks are my specialty. Since joining the Sistas I have been challenged to make a few layouts and I am kinda liking them. Below are pictures from my "Book of Me" album. I am a few weeks ahead of the challenge but I was having so much fun creating that I kept going!

Miss Sunshine will get to see her first Disney Live show in a few days. I got a jump start on scrapping the event with a few layouts.

2009-10-06T20:43:00.000-04:00

Here are a few recent cards I made.

This one was an order for a lady at church. I learned to make the circle sentiments in Word. I kinda wish I would have used my circle nesties to give it a little more umph.

This is my first Gyspy creation. Of course I just had to get a G! To justify my purchase, I decided to create something the 2nd day I had it. The font and the butterfly all come from Gypsy Wanderings cart.

Miss Sunshine was invited to a birthday party so I made this card for the birthday boy. I added the number 5 to the card after I verified the age.

2009-10-06T12:19:00.000-04:00

Since joining the Sistas http://sistasscraptoo.blogspot.com/, I have done quite a few LO's. I had only done ONE LO in the past year so this was quite a stretch. I give thanks to the Sista Scrap Too blog for getting me started....in addition to pagemaps.com

I am scrapping Sunshine's first year....month by month. Hopefully I can scrap Miss Sunshine's finish by Christmas.

2009-07-19T09:59:00.000-04:00

Goo Gone Crazy!!!

2009-07-18T23:07:00.000-04:00

I recently started using colored pencils and goo gone for coloring. Most of the images I colored so far are just clip art or images I found on the internet. I am in LOVE with this coloring technique.

2009-06-15T21:32:00.000-04:00

I gave this as a thank you for the Princess invitations. This is a flower pot card.

This was a job I did for my SIL's co-worker. Her Princess was turning 5 years old and she needed invitations. I used paper dolls and SCAL for the crown on the inside.

2009-06-15T20:54:00.000-04:00

Princess invitation all done.
