"You Go Girl" Card

I got this at a card exchange.

one Old Shirt becomes one Toddler Sun Dress

Ready for a cute and easy makeover?

 

I got a bunch of clothes from my friend (thanks Brigitte!)

In the pile was this:

It looks like it was made for a little girl, right?

Wrong!  It totally fit me.

Only... I'm not 10, so I couldn't pull it off.

I made it into a cute little sun dress for my friend's daughter, Cami.

Do you have an old shirt like this?

Want to make your own?

Here's How:

Start by measuring the bust of the girl you want to make it for.

I ended up taking mine in about 1" on each side.

Sew a straight line through the elastic portion.

Then cut away the excess.

Take the 'L' shape and fold it over.

Sew it in place (this will make a little pleat).

Now work on your straps (you'll have to measure on your little girl again).

I ended up just unstitching one side,

And then crossing them in the back.

And that's it!

I had Cannon's favorite little gal Melayna model it for me...

Pretty adorable, hu?

The dress isn't that bad either...

Happy Birthday Frog Card

I love this layout.

It can work for ANYTHING!

Yet another great addition from my sis.

Congratulations Baby Girl Footprint Card

Another great card made by my sister Melissa.

(Try swapping out the pink ribbon at the top for blue if you need a baby boy card).

Triple Language 'Thanks' Card

This was made by my sister Melissa, and I love it!

Such a perfect layout, that can be used for any occassion!

The 3 squares say "thanks" in 3 different languages, but you could obviously use any word stamp.

Happy Birthday Sparkle Card

I made this card FOREVER ago at a Stampin' Up distributors house.

It is on a thick piece of cardstock, and the only part of the card that opens is the flap under the flower...

(Don't ask me why I used the word "sparkle"...)

The actual note is supposed to be written on the back of the green paper.

Kind of a cool idea...

Transporation Magnet Boards

I made these a while back for Cannon's room.

They work perfectly with his "transportation" theme...

I bought 3 wooden framed magnet boards from Roberts, and painted them to match his bedding.

The words are made of wood (which were also purchased at Roberts).

The wooden train, truck and plane were already painted when I bought them, so I just glued everything together and put on some pictures.

Pretty easy...

 It goes along nicely in their room...
