It's A Party!

I've been fighting some brain pain for the last couple days but really needed to get the invites for my daughter's birthday party in the mail so I opted for a simple Print and Cut design that she picked out.

She loves princesses and she loves Olivia so Princess Olivia theme it is.  The coolest part of making these invitations is that I have never tried this feature with my Silhouette or Cameo, ever.  I've purchased a bunch of the P&C designs, but either I didn't use them yet or I just printed them and fussy cut by hand (because I am crazy I know - but I do love doing that).  I just could not hand cut 10 Olivia's though with my headache.  I know that a few folks have had some troubles trying this feature so I was a bit nervous to start, but I held my breath and crossed my fingers and Oh. My. Gosh.  It totally worked like a dream, WOW!  LOVE it!!

Anyway, here is Princess Olivia, all dressed up and ready to party!!  The "It's A Party" phrase is by Lori Whitlock and the banner frame is by Loni Harris.

My daughter wanted me to add Olivia's horse and the little frog that are in the Silhouette store too, but they didn't fit, so I guess we will be making some nice Thank You notes with those P&C's!

Halloween Glass Block

I finally tried working with a glass block and I loved it!  I made this for my daughter's dorm room and although it is a bit late in the season, she still insisted on taking it anyway, yay! 

I combined (and slightly modified) designs from Lori Whitlock (house, bats), Sarah Bailey (trees) and Silhouette (ghost) to create the spooky scene and I added my own moon and background border.  Yep, all I had to do was draw a circle and a square, LOL!  I didn't have any kind of glass paint so I used tissue paper for the bottom layer to color the moon.  A wired sparkly black ribbon is wrapped around the sides and a yellow flickering flame battery powered tea light provides the spooky lighting.

A fun decoration, day or night!
