Crafty Tuesday

Ok, I get it. You are all chickens! Nobody wants to suggest any resolutions for me? Fine. I’m working on a 2012 To-Do List – not quite resolutions, but I am going to make a list of things I’d like to accomplish this year. It is a’ brewing up in my little brain. Stay tuned.

I have a few Christmas projects that I did manage to get out the door this week. Yes, it was the week after Christmas, thankfully we didn’t celebrate with friends until New Year’s Eve.

I whipped out the ol’ stationery and made some custom cards for everyone. Colored paper from Paper Source, designed in Illustrator and printed out on our trusty inkjet printer.

MC – our superstar soccer playing babysitter…

Yvette – Who just went en pointe this year and therefore is Addie’s ballet idol…

Charile – Our lil’ guy who always entertains his little harem of women…

Diane – my dear friend and hair stylist extraordinaire…

and Jamie – we decided her “logo” needed to be a beehive with her family of busy bees, so this is what I came up with…

Then for Audrey (and I made one for Sasserella Ella for her birthday that was this week, too!) I finally got to make one of these Box O’ Princesses. I’ve been dying to make one of these – I love that it is all the Disney princesses but homemade…no manufactured in China plastic here.

I won’t detail out the process, since you can see it for yourself at her site, but it is so fun to do – if you have a princess-lovin’ girl in your world you should try this out.

That’s it for us around here. I also made some signs for Birdie #2, but totally forgot to take pics of them! I’ll get some pics and let you know how we did them next week. In the meantime, I’m enjoying have J. home this week. We are knocking some great projects off around the house and heading to Disneyland today, so we’ll be back soon.

  1. ok, you want a new year’s resolution? come back to Michigan and visit. (me included)!!
    your princesses are priceless. Love them.

  2. Those cards are so adorable. Your box of princesses turned out perfectly!!! That is such a great gift idea.

  3. LOVE that note paper! What can be more personal than that?! And I agree with Aunt Laura, even though I know it probably won’t happen for a while.

  4. ADORABLE cards! I love it! I am such a dummy — I even photographed projects for several crafty tuesdays, and the first one of the year I forgot to post any. Whoops! Hopefully next week…

    You want resolutions? Goals? Okay…how about running a half marathon, taking a picture a week for a project 52, and reading a book a month (and telling us what it was and whether or not to read it)?
