Something Crafty

Hello Everyone!  I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!! I had a fun filled Saturday at the Fall Fest hosted by the Women With Scissors.  This Fall Fest was not about hayrides and pumpkin picking.  This Fall Fest was all about card making, scrapbooking, make & takes and challenges.  There were three make & takes offered and I was able to complete two of them.
This adorable Trick Or Treat bag was at my table when I arrived.  Isn't it too cute?!

Here are the two make & takes that I did:

This adorable pumpkin was taught by WWS Gal, Kelly.

This Thanksgiving mini book was taught by WWS Gal, Susan.  This was a two part make & take.  We did part one in the morning and part two in the afternoon.  I need to give a shout out to WWS Gal, Ann, thanking her for her part in this book.  She could not be at the event so Susan taught Ann's make & take portion of this great mini book.  We missed you Ann!!

Here is a sample of the inside.

I  also completed this Halloween card.  The image is from Stampendous.  I colored her using my Prismacolor pencils and Mineral Spirits. 

The Fall Fest would not of been complete without a costume.  I went SUPER easy........a hat, mask & cape!!  This worked out well for me.  I could wear it when it was costume parade time and take it off in a flash so that I could craft. Needless to say my Saturday was super fun!  The WWS Gals always host a fantastic event! 

I hope that all of you have a very magical day and that you get to do something that you enjoy.  Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to stop by Disney Girl! I appreciate it.

Fun On Friday!

Happy weekend everyone!  I hope that you are all enjoying your Saturday!  My weekend got off to a fantastic start.  I spent most of yesterday with local crafters putting together Christmas card kits for our Troops.  We put together approximately 200 Christmas card kits.  This was the first in a series of several card kitting sessions.  The goal is to do over 1000 cards this year.  You can read more about this over at Women With Scissors.

After we were done with the kits some of us decided to stay and do a make & take.  Here is what we made:

Christmas Wall Hanging

Isn't it adorable?  The wall hanging was designed and taught by Kelly who is one of the Women With Scissors gals.  It was so much fun to make. I used Stickles, Enamel Accents and Diamond Glaze.  I also used A LOT of ribbon.  The ribbon was not part of the make & take.  I added the ribbon to it when I got home.  I cannot wait until Christmas so that I can hang it up.

The rest of my late afternoon and early evening was spent at three of my favorite stores.....Michaels, Joanne Fabrics and Target.  A day spent with friends, helping support our troops, a make & take and then shopping. WOW!  My day could not have been any better!

Thanks so much for stopping by Disney Girl Crafts.  I hope that you have a magical weekend filled with lots of fun things!

Cropping Christmas In July Style

Hello Everyone!  I attended a Christmas In July crop this past Saturday.  It was nine hours of non-stop Christmas themed fun!  I thought that I would share with you the "make & takes" that I did.

This adorable ornament was taught by Kelly N.  Super fun to make and I even tried out a product that I had never used before.  It was enamel accents. I used it on his antlers, hooves, & to make the white dots. 

Here is the back side of the ornament.

This was taught by Susan B.  I just love the elegance of this card!

This was taught by Loretta S.  Super cute & easy card to make.  See picture below as it is two pieces.

Isn't that great how it is a pocket card.  There is plenty of room to write a holiday note on it.  I also used a punch to make a slit on the bottom.  A gift card fits perfectly in the slit.

This was taught by Ann W.  I decorated both sides of it.  See the below picture for the reverse side of it.

Here is the other side of it.  I used chipboard in between the patterned paper. 

For those unfamiliar with "make & takes" here is how they work.  The instructor prepares a simple project for you to complete in a short amount of time.  The instructor supplies all that is needed to complete the project.  Make & takes are very common at paper crafting conventions.  Sometimes at convention the instructor will charge $1.00 to $5.00 for a make & take.  At the crop that I recently attended all of the above make & takes were free of charge.  How cool is that?  I really loved all of the make & takes that I did.  I am so fortunate to know such talented gals.

I also have to add that there was a contest to see who dressed the most like Christmas.  Guess what?  This Queen of Christmas won! I had Christmas wear on from head (my Mickey Mouse gingerbread ears) to almost my toes!  It was a magical day!  Thanks again for stopping by!
