I haven't done that in awhile, but I fiured that I own the cart I might as well use it. I made it 6 inched tall. Then doing a lot of shading the card started to come to life. Without shading the cut file is boring to say the least.<br />

It all started when i found these ice cream cones i had bought for my kids in the back of the pantry. So baking a white cake and letting it cool for about an hour I crumbbed the whole thing up and then add half a ca of store bought frosting to a bowl. after mixing it and massing it till it was all together I put it back in the frig for about an hour. Then the fun began I put a little in the cone and then made a ball that would fit on top of the cone. After I did this to 20 cones I put them all in the frezzer for anoth few hours. Then off to Micheals I went to buy pink chocolate. I already had spinkles and dark chocolate. Then I melted the pink chocolate and then put a ball in it coating the whole thing, then carefully placed in the cone letting it drip down the sides(makes it look like it is melting). before it got hard(had to work fast) i put the spinkles on. then I melted the dark choclate and dripped it on the top and then placed a red M&M on top like a cherry. Simple, fun, and yummy:).</div><br />

I spent many a day sitting on the floor painting them onto her all. The girls loved little people so much so I decided I would paint there new room with all there favorite charaters. Again I painted them the same height that the girls where at the time. I little tip I learned from this was not to paint right on the wall but to paint onto plywood.Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-8808110244123730332011-05-30T13:50:00.000-07:002011-05-30T13:50:48.714-07:00New BIG girl bedroom<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrinYpGlCJH7QxQqo_FRaCePeR42l9wQecMwi5BOYzYnUW90Bu0o11qOuVeJSChhiaLLeeRXYg2HkENZf8pxfaExIeJzcCC87L_YJSGiLMJg_uxOFpLFr6_YJENAuioXmZSYIYxrzL8b1I/s1600/SAM_0207.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrinYpGlCJH7QxQqo_FRaCePeR42l9wQecMwi5BOYzYnUW90Bu0o11qOuVeJSChhiaLLeeRXYg2HkENZf8pxfaExIeJzcCC87L_YJSGiLMJg_uxOFpLFr6_YJENAuioXmZSYIYxrzL8b1I/s320/SAM_0207.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><br />

They have know idea that we bought them the new bedding. We started by getting rid of the bunk beds, if you ever decide to by them don't learn from me they are a pain the the butt. then we totally cleaned there room from top to bottom (ie. walls, windows, floor). Because I just can't have nothing on the walls I decided to cut out of plywood an A for Alyssa and a N for Naomi and then paint them to match there new bedding. Now all I need for for the girls to come home from grandmas for their surprise.Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-55876522100165121802011-05-30T13:43:00.000-07:002011-05-30T13:43:58.660-07:00Out with the Disney Princess Bedroom<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKTzGKK_NaEXwm__FM1qHBYJ6DC0uZe_sWKuvo6oQKs2AcA9hsVzkXD1NaC2bJ3LVmvEudHeXvTTOkLEhEObpVTBshpThla7r-TtrHClObLGtndOQKQEqqcoY2If9NCXEkfnfHDaBhVoPA/s1600/SAM_0199.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKTzGKK_NaEXwm__FM1qHBYJ6DC0uZe_sWKuvo6oQKs2AcA9hsVzkXD1NaC2bJ3LVmvEudHeXvTTOkLEhEObpVTBshpThla7r-TtrHClObLGtndOQKQEqqcoY2If9NCXEkfnfHDaBhVoPA/s320/SAM_0199.JPG" t8="true" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Before we did I took some pictures of the princess before removing them from the walls. They are cut outs from plywood that I did with my drimmel about 4 years ago and then painted. Each of the girls got to pick two princesses. When I cut them they where as tall as the girls where then, oh how they have grown over the years.Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-40154006846667562872011-05-18T16:21:00.000-07:002011-05-18T16:21:52.277-07:00Graduation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0psqhn-j-Y7xmUpg5zSBmVVdS7VP7Vtbnl2DZ-qgdnv4Xpg3WbXaVUk4ztfnrWWTgF939iSEnOHgnmN1xNdv3pCKAIvhyphenhyphen1oYomC1ujVIEksJwsPJZhjWFS1TDENJxnVC72Nguwkobgr3z/s1600/379.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0psqhn-j-Y7xmUpg5zSBmVVdS7VP7Vtbnl2DZ-qgdnv4Xpg3WbXaVUk4ztfnrWWTgF939iSEnOHgnmN1xNdv3pCKAIvhyphenhyphen1oYomC1ujVIEksJwsPJZhjWFS1TDENJxnVC72Nguwkobgr3z/s320/379.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

Recently I found on another blog where they where using these m&m candy tubes which you can find on ebay to make fun party favors. I thought perfect for the new little grads considering that my grad loves m&m's, I got to work. Again using SVG files I found on <a href="http://www.svgcuts.com/">http://www.svgcuts.com/</a> for free I cut the hats, then using one of my fonts on the computer did the letters.Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-47043027879548194542011-05-18T16:16:00.000-07:002011-05-18T16:16:12.786-07:00Tangled Birthday<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Disney new movie Tangled came out and my girls fell in love. Somehow I knew that I would be doing a Birthday at some point during the year and I was right. Alyssa decided that she wanted a Tangled party which ment I had to get busy working on party games and the cake. So the games first I made a pinata for the party really easy. I took an oatmeal can and painted it grey, then cutting up a sponge I used darker grwy paint to make the bricks on the tower and then painted the green vines and then glued flowers to the side. the roof is just construction paper cut in strips and the glued on a triangle.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPz5nOB1bpbSjicN7pshK2teZXADAMeTEMbEhlN9jLeL3y_zDsUn-t_urTTtAbB20FCSMhfrsHqMq8onI1-2WLeSinqke7UAP-XAsJIwKWcfzZEpm2bWoJqzeCS9V3Bja9UAR1xE9dZjZ3/s1600/194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPz5nOB1bpbSjicN7pshK2teZXADAMeTEMbEhlN9jLeL3y_zDsUn-t_urTTtAbB20FCSMhfrsHqMq8onI1-2WLeSinqke7UAP-XAsJIwKWcfzZEpm2bWoJqzeCS9V3Bja9UAR1xE9dZjZ3/s320/194.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Then we did a craft of latterns like in the movie.

The tower is PVP pipe taped together and then rice crispy treats are on top to form the tower top. Using fondant I just started playing and decorating it till I thought it looked like the tower in the movie. When it came time to make the cake I baked a sheet cake and then in the board I put a really long screw which came up through the cake and then the tower could be slide onto it making sure the tower would not fall over. <div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I decided that if a bride was sending my and invation to there wedding they must really like the colors and the paper that there invite was on. So I decided to take those invites and take them apart and turn them into my wedding card for there present. This is always so much fun and the bride and groom always really enjoy getting these cards and it is the one card that they all keep. More than once was told that they scrapbooking it into the wedding album. Here is the one that I did for my husband sisters wedding.Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-314891471896109502011-05-18T15:36:00.000-07:002011-05-18T15:36:51.818-07:00Easter Cake Balls<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCXFwXkjqLkJ-7PpV4AVhTCfdMdFVRJViZeXiIiG34NwHYG9X8I2PSR5p6EZjZdTM-Wd0MBzRrw86TyutFyN6WYGkkuA7EOmNW5M_OUzWGZlU9T1kDpdATsnyvQwymWyx1oSnIp0YixciM/s1600/DSCF1429.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCXFwXkjqLkJ-7PpV4AVhTCfdMdFVRJViZeXiIiG34NwHYG9X8I2PSR5p6EZjZdTM-Wd0MBzRrw86TyutFyN6WYGkkuA7EOmNW5M_OUzWGZlU9T1kDpdATsnyvQwymWyx1oSnIp0YixciM/s320/DSCF1429.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Recently I found cake balls, if you have never tried them wow you are missing out on something truely good to eat. After looking online I found out that they aren't that hard to make and there are so many differant ways that you can make them. For Easter I decided to try and make a cake ball that looked like a carrot that was made with carrot cake and had cream cheese frosting. YUM! Then for the top I used royal icing to make the leaves. Everyone loved them will have to keep making them.Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-44139693964745821212011-05-18T15:31:00.000-07:002011-05-18T15:31:03.665-07:00Easter Presents for the Teachers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-3TMVNyMWIgpY6BATkuVeYdvaAkGFJGgn2reoHBLWOyGlFZ9tGh0Sbw4JRDBdJemEBT9FFlTtnLGJL8mLdUJqr442i045rNQ2QpaoqM4rDAGJF67b8BLItK1mMJZH3wyKnLJtSElU6ZNP/s1600/DSCF1423.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-3TMVNyMWIgpY6BATkuVeYdvaAkGFJGgn2reoHBLWOyGlFZ9tGh0Sbw4JRDBdJemEBT9FFlTtnLGJL8mLdUJqr442i045rNQ2QpaoqM4rDAGJF67b8BLItK1mMJZH3wyKnLJtSElU6ZNP/s320/DSCF1423.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHq2NGVfln9BV7eSyiB48lk4ZQerjIlL_BoZZNz6AvywDCoTYfwfSWZnmrnxhofuMSEsKkmnPmb86HMz_00xqq_DJ819rbT0GaVb_6UASNCn9LqF550a2uUSsuO0XoCFPZrF64pcyrnKAy/s1600/DSCF1422.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHq2NGVfln9BV7eSyiB48lk4ZQerjIlL_BoZZNz6AvywDCoTYfwfSWZnmrnxhofuMSEsKkmnPmb86HMz_00xqq_DJ819rbT0GaVb_6UASNCn9LqF550a2uUSsuO0XoCFPZrF64pcyrnKAy/s320/DSCF1422.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Like always a holiday means a time for me to give presents to the teachers. This is truly something that I love to do. This years for Easter I found these baskets again in the dollar bins at Target (got to love those bins). Since one of my hobbies is cooking and baking, along with paper crafting, scrapbooking, sewing, and a whole lot of other thing I got busy. I decided to make a recipe card and put in a pullout with a chick on it again using SVG files from <a href="http://www.myscrapchick.com/index.htm">http://www.myscrapchick.com/index.htm</a> then baking the cookies on the recipe filled the basket and wrapped up.Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-15830035424645876362011-05-18T15:22:00.000-07:002011-05-18T15:22:37.979-07:00Connors Birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqr3PkXJqMGG3Y8SwHB8YM3nlnywNEpldyKaMbXZeaKdoUFqmp5KRS7NMGQ_-W7q3EhP0ubSYd4Ydi0LwWMBXEaz96W-nHixKcIPfXKA3-ti6TbxN26A3NJd2bfdGas6QhSxcgn400oN9/s1600/DSCF1414.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXqr3PkXJqMGG3Y8SwHB8YM3nlnywNEpldyKaMbXZeaKdoUFqmp5KRS7NMGQ_-W7q3EhP0ubSYd4Ydi0LwWMBXEaz96W-nHixKcIPfXKA3-ti6TbxN26A3NJd2bfdGas6QhSxcgn400oN9/s320/DSCF1414.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I haven't bought a card now in almost two years so here was the challenge, how to make a card that he would love. After looking on the web and googling SVG files I finally found a dinosaur cut file that would work. Here is the web page where I found the dinosaur file http://www.preciouspiecings.com/. After adjusting a few things in SCAL I came up with a truely beautiful card that was hard to give away. I really like how I was able to get the banner with his name to stand out and you can see the shading detail underneath.Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-45077843321212979892011-05-18T15:14:00.000-07:002011-05-18T15:14:39.439-07:00Easter Craft<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJSNlWPfqtsfAnWzB1nzbESNbehwY5OVEVKpTTB1mMK0eBrNuIHOAmz0kAtDqvDXX-KkZK86dxTnNMwx4T1rz99Ir0NBgHouGZjWOreialYCn9V-XoYyeGsYnxq_aSbZtXXIWlszrb9gc/s1600/DSCF1410.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJSNlWPfqtsfAnWzB1nzbESNbehwY5OVEVKpTTB1mMK0eBrNuIHOAmz0kAtDqvDXX-KkZK86dxTnNMwx4T1rz99Ir0NBgHouGZjWOreialYCn9V-XoYyeGsYnxq_aSbZtXXIWlszrb9gc/s320/DSCF1410.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

One day I was over a Target and in there dollar bins where these really cool egg lights. I could hardly believe my eyes, so I bought them just knowing that I could do something with them. After thinking about it I came up with a banner to hang over the BIG T.V.. So out came the Cricut (like I ever really put it away anyways). The white triangles where cut with foam so that it could last a few years and the rest I found these really cute SVG files at <a href="http://www.myscrapchick.com/index.htm">http://www.myscrapchick.com/index.htm</a>..Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889157957007895789.post-33814669002078757512011-05-18T15:06:00.000-07:002011-05-18T15:06:12.553-07:00Been BusySo much has happened in the last month and I feel like I never had time to work on the blog.

I have never tried this before so I have know idea if this is going to work.<br />

A little about myself I am a mother of three children. I have two girls ages 9yrs and 7 yrs old they are only 15 months apart and most people think they are twins. Then there is the baby of the family my son who is 4 yrs old, he like to tell me he isn't a baby but a BIG boy. I also have a house filled with pets....two cats, a dog, and a HUGE tank of fish.<br />
<br />
My wonderful husband who I have been married to for almost 10 years puts up with all my crafting. Things I like to do is sewing, cross stiching, crochet, painting, cooking, baking, and of course scrapbooking. Isn't everyone into scrapbooking:).Michele Harfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581688822049055846noreply@blogger.com0
