Custom Order

I'm so incredibly proud of this piece! Up is such a sweet, romantic, heartfelt, sad and exciting movie. It's definitely a favorite in our home. I was given a few parameters on what she wanted included. The waterfall, Carl and Ellie together, Carl with his "young" hairstyle and the house with the balloons. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, especially since I Ellie gets to see Paradise Falls with the love of her life!

Mad Tea Party Cake

I got the idea for this cake while browsing pinterest. Gotta love that site, right? The original cake was much bigger with tons more details and as much as I would've loved to replicate the entire thing, I had to scale it back since there were only 6 of us at the dinner party lol (2 of which were under the age of 6) It was still lots of fun to make. I had to use gum paste for the top hat and tea set since it dries a lot faster than homemade fondant. It turned out beautiful and delicious! 

Jack Skellington Cake

This cake is frosted with icing.  The details were made with black fondant. Pretty simple but it looks AWESOME!! My hubby was pretty happy celebrating his birthday with it <3 p="p">

My Little Capt. America

My youngest is obsessed with all things super heroes.  For his birthday Capt. America was at the top of his list.  As I type this, Spider-man is now in the lead. I asked him what kind of cake he would like for his bday and he said "A Capt. America shield!!" and since his every wish is my command, he got what he wanted. He was so excited! We're not big on parties but i'm glad he can be just as happy at home with just his family and his very own Capt. America cake <3 p="p">

Wall-e Loves Eve

One of my favorite Disney love stories :) I will never get tired of watching Disney movies, especially this one <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

I'm getting the hang of using acrylics, at least compared to my try at watercolors lol maybe I'll try oil painting eventually ;)

Disney, Disney, Disney

I was looking at Disney Art online and came across the original version of this picture. I fell in love with it and decided to try and make my own.  So here it is...and I love it even more now.  Sometimes I want to take art classes so that I can learn the proper techniques to accomplish the look I see in my mind but then I remember how much I enjoy trying to figure it out on my own.  I get frustrated when I can't seem to get it right but that's just how I am :) Anyhow, sorry for the rambling, here are a few more paintings i've done in the past couple of weeks....

Birthday Card Order

A friend asked me if I could make two birthday cards for her.  One with Stitch and one with Ariel. These are what I came up with.

I made this card with hand-torn pieces of paper.  The pieces for the teeth are so small I had to use tweezers! 

I love the princess silhouettes on both Disney Princess cartridges for my Cricut.  So elegant and classic!

Disney Cards

I put my Cricut Disney cartridges to work on these babies! Well, more like the cartridges put ME to work...

The princess cuts can be quite arduous, especially whey they are a small size. I honestly don't know how anyone can get them to cut properly at any size smaller that 5".

For this Belle card I added a little paper quilling and cuttlebug. Couldn't resist adding a hidden Mickey!

A bit more quilling on this Boo card and an embossed sentiment.  I wanted to find a way to incorporate Mike and Sully so I snuck them in on the balloons.

This one is one of my favorites! It's pretty simple but so pretty. I love Mulan's pup, Little Brother.  He isn't on the cricut cartridge but I found an image of him online. 

This one is also pretty simple. Just a little glitter and glossy accents :) 

Christmas Cards

These are the Christmas cards I made last year, wow! Can you tell I haven't been keeping up with my blog??? lol These next few entries are gonna be out of order. Well just wanted to share these. I was especially proud of my gingerbread men and their Mickey Ears Hats :) I LOVE DISNEY!!!

Disney Pin Pouches

So I FINALLY decided to try cutting fabric with my E and I loved it! It was really easy too. I might make another one this week. I'll post a picture if I decide to make it :)

Peter Pan

I "made" this costume for my little boy last year. He looked soooo cute!! I made the shirt and the hat and dyed some tights green lol. I think this year he might look super cute as Pinocchio :)

Jr's 2nd Birthday

This is the cake I made to top last years Nemo cake lol I got the idea for it online. I had my cousin buy the figurines at Disneyland and send 'em to me. Everything else is fondant, including the letters and fencing around the bottom tier.

I made this card for my baby just so it would match the theme of the party. Woody is a Jolee's sticker. I used the font in Wild Card for the lettering and Celebrations for the 2.

First Birthday Wordbook

I had to make a wordbook worthy of the Nemo theme that surrounds my son (did I tell you guys his name means "lover of the sea" ?, total coincidence) I think this book is so cute. I can't wait til he's old enough to appreciate it, which I hope he will!!!

Happy Birthday Jr!!!!

This was the first cake I ever decorated using fondant. Everything except the candle and the little turtle is edible. It took me about 8 hours to make all the embellishments and put them on the cake. I was sad to cut into it lol... I knew I was going to have my work cut out for me trying to top this on his second birthday!!!!

Nemo Nursary

This is what I looked like when I painted this room with the help of my cousin Meli.... I ended up giving birth about 2 or 3 days later to a 10lb 9oz baby boy lol.

I stenciled the bubbles... my thighs have never been so sore from all the standing and sitting on the floor. I also learned how to use a sewing machine just enough to make the Nemo liners for all the baskets on the changing table......

and the hamper...and bumpers around the crib.......

and the curtains :) lol This baby definitely got my creativity flowing.
