Tis The Season............

Happy Holiday Season everyone! Woo-Hoo I LOVE this time of year! I have been busy catching up with friends at parties and lunches, shopping, wrapping, decorating, crafting and just enjoying the season!

Last week I had my annual craft club Christmas party.  Here are some of the goodies that I received.

A BEAUTIFUL ornament handmade by L. Johnson.

Goodies I received in my gift exchange.

Handmade cards from my crafting buddies.

More goodies that I received.

Yummy homemade breads and an ornament.

FUN stuff, huh?  Over the weekend I decided to get crafty and here is what I came up with:

I just LOVE the "Triple Time Stamping technique".  Go here to learn all about it.  Last but not least I was in a Disney swap.  Each one of us was matched up with a "Secret Santa".  My Secret Santa knew that I liked anything Disney and especially vintage Disney.  Here is what I got:

I also got a cute little coffee sleeve that was handmade. Love it!!

As you can see I have had a lot of holiday fun going on! LOL  I hope that you have a magical day and thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Holiday Happenings!

Hello! This past week has been full of SO much fun!  I love this time of year!  There is baking, parties and an excuse to go shopping.  I started my week out making delicious dipped pretzels.  For those of you that have not tried this before WHAT are you waiting for?  It is super easy to do.  Here is all that you need:

This is what you do:  Melt the Almond Bark, dip the pretzel, sprinkle it with your colorful sugar sprinkles and set it on parchment paper until the candy coating hardens. See?  Super easy!

Here are my dipped pretzels waiting for the candy coating to harden.

And.......this is what I did with them.  I used them on the table as part of the decoration.  (Thank you to my fellow Disney Chick, Candy, for the fabulous idea).  They looked wonderful on the table and everyone enjoyed eating them.

I also made these cute little party favors this week:

To learn how to make these adorable favors please visit Splitcoast Stampers and check out the great tutorial by Lisa Somerville.  Lisa's are decorated for Halloween but made the same way as mine shown above.

The last thing I will share today is the card that I gave to a friend this week.

I wish I could take all the credit for this gorgeous card but I cannot.  I made this in a class taught by the super talented Susan B.

Well that is all that I have for today.  Stay tuned for more holiday happenings here at Disney Girl Crafts & Other Fun Things.  Have a magical day!

Fun With Paper Dolls

Each month I meet with a wonderful group of ladies to stamp and share ideas with. We call ourselves Frayed Knots.  We all take turns teaching a class throughout the year. April was my month to teach.  Well instead of teaching something new I thought it would be fun for all of us to make a paper doll.  I cut each doll at 8 inches using the Cricut cartridge Paper Doll Dress Up. I also cut out outfits & hair styles for each doll. I provided embellishments and turned the group loose to create their doll.  As you can tell by the photos they all turned out too cute!  Each doll is so unique! These dolls were made for a special member of our group who is experiencing some health issues.  I thought it would be nice to link all the dolls together to form a banner and give them to our friend. This way she can hang up the dolls in her room while she is recovering from recent surgery and feel like we are all with her (we all wrote her a get well note on the back of the doll we made). Hopefully these dolls will bring a smile to her each time she looks at them.
