Doll Clothing

My darling granddaughters have Hearts for Hearts dolls.   World Vision receives part of the proceeds when one of these dolls is purchased. If you are interested in more info try this link :

 Tomorrow is Mikya's birthday, so I've been making outfits.  I've only got one finished so far, but the day is still young! 

Pink sweater, (made out of an old sweater, next time make it just a tad bigger), blue skirt, embroidered green stems and button flowers on the front and a white shirt that needs tweaking for next time.

Poor thing--she looks scared to death! I guess she isn't sure how I'm going to make her bend and move next!

Dino Valentines

I have these wonderful little people in my life, otherwise known as grandchilren.  They are the joy of my life!   I've been playing and this week created these little dinosaur cards for my three grandsons. I made two different ones using my Cricut and the Create a Critter Cartridge.



Yes, they really do say Grrr.... boys don't like that mushy stuff like "Be Mine" or something equally mushy.  They like Grrr.  Now the camera wouldn't take a decent picture of the inside sentiment or else I'm just not savvy enough to figure out how to take good pictures of a message on a red background, ( I can just hear my kiddos snickering, since they know I still haven't figured out the VCR player, even after it has gone obsolete), so here is the inside message:

Grrr..... (outside message)
means I love you
in
Dino speak!
Happy Valentine's Day!

For those of you who have a Cricut and want my recipe, here goes: (This is for the green dino, the blue one is about the same except different color papers and opening the other way).
