Hi Everyone!!
Here's my last project using the June Pink Ninjas kit "Isn't She Lovely - Oner Upper." The two packs of felties in this kit are so cute and I wasn't sure how I was going to use them, so I came up with the idea for this card. It's so nice having the two sets of letter stickers as well to mix and match. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far!! Definitely lots of sunshine where we are. We are excited to have a pool, but each kid has wound up with a horrible ear infection from it...so we have to tackle that issue or summer will be hell around here!

It's been awhile since I've created an embellished house, but this month's Pink Ninjas kit "Isn't She Lovely - Oner Upper" was so jam packed with pretty things, it made for a fun, girlie dollhouse! With all of the trims and embellies in the kit, it was easy to create a house with lots to look at on every side! 
I used a basic house kit made by Doodlebug to start. Almost everything other than the pink tissue fringe at the very bottom was in this kit. The full sheet of chipboard accents by Crate Paper were awesome and very vintage looking, which I love. I still have a lot left over! 
Studio Calico has these cute paper notions which I added to the rooftop and accented with tiny rhinestones. Ally & Nely even included a cute lollipop in the kit and that didn't go to waste, it's on the house right in front! 
Right now there is a great special going on. Enter code PINKNINJA at checkout in the Pink Ninja Addicts etsy store and get free domestic shipping! That's an $8.00 savings! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!
what a great deal!!! ....
We're getting ready for all the mermaids & mermen to arrive for Ava's 8th birthday/swim party! One of our activities is to hunt for buried treasures in the sand. I created this banner for it using the Pink Ninjas June "Isn't She Lovely Oner-Upper" kit. Love this kit! 
To create the banner, I cut the aqua patterned paper into 4 equal pieces. I then cut the pink lacey patterned paper to fit each of the bottom edges, like a ruffle. I added some silver glitter, handcut flowers as accents, and letter stickers for the title and tied everything together with the pink trims in the kit. (There are two packs of alpha stickers in this kit too! yayyy!) 
This kit has some awesome colors in it! (I'm in love with the two puffies packs from KI Memories! So cute!) Next week, I'll show my next 'huge' project using the very cool chipboard embellishments from Crate Paper!! In the meantime, it's "mermaid fever" at my house!!! 
Look what arrived on my doorstep all the way from Singapore! My friend Zoe from Dream Come True handmade this for me to wish our family well in our new home. Zoe's beautiful artwork pieces from our Alice in Wonderland swap are all over my studio! Her work is as cute as she is! Zoe, you have a heart of gold... I just love it AND you. Thank you so much....
This is my little sweetie pie Ava at 5 months old! It's hard to believe she turned 8 years old yesterday! I used the adorable ~* Isn't She Lovely *~ "Oner Upper" June scrapbooking kit from the Pink Ninjas to create this sweet layout of her. The patterned papers, accents and trims in this kit are once again cuuuuuute!!! Ninja Masters Nely & Ally never disappoint when it comes to awesome kits. Here, I cut some of the patterned paper to make a cupcake design (lOvE cupcakes!!!) and added the fun acrylic & felt cupcakes included the kit. The Oner Upper kit is available for $45. There is also another ~*Isn't She Lovely*~ scrapbooking kit available for $30. I have 4 fun projects this month to show you...maybe more if I get a chance!! 
Love to all! xOxO
We're all "mermaid crazy" here getting ready for Ava's 8th birthday party next weekend! I've already started decorating! Yes, it takes me a week! Here are just a few fun favors I'll have for the mermaids... starfish wands, seashell filled pouches and "fish in a bag" soaps (for the mermen!!!) Thanks to the talented etsy artists who made these! I'm still unable to leave comments on a few of your blogs....so hopefully blogger issues will get resolved soon. Hope everyone is doing great. Happy Memorial Day everyone. Thank you so much to our military families - we appreciate ALL you do for us.

This quote describes my dear friend Anita of Castles Crowns and Cottages perfectly. Besides being artistic and a gifted writer, Anita has a beautiful heart. She surprised me with this gorgeous book she created filled with her writings. On my mantle I have it displayed alongside the pretty bird wand that I was lucky enough to win from her. If you get a chance, please visit her blog. She's doing a Paris link party this Saturday and you won't want to miss it! Merci beaucoup mon amie! Such a special gift, and I will treaure it always!
I vowed that my HUGE Alice in Wonderland party would be the last big party I'd have for my kids. Wrong! The party bug has bitten me again and now I am throwing a Mermaid bash for Ava's 8th birthday!
From sparkly starfish wands, to seafoam cupcakes, to Ocean Water punch...this party looks like it may be my favorite one yet! I bought the cutest things on etsy which I'll show soon. But I actually got in the spirit today and made this Mermaid Cove frou frou banner to hang over the buffet table. 
I'll show pics from Ava's party after the event, and then you'll see how extreme I get with parties!!! (And this WILL be my last big party!) ;) 
My final project using the Pink Ninjas "Scarlet Begonias" May kit is this "i {heart} u" sunflower card. To create it, I cut paper strips and folded them to make a funky, dimensional sunflower.
