Fairy Nice Window Treat Boxes

Yes...I made some window treat boxes! BUT...it's a twist from the one tutorial that's out there! How? You'll see in a video tutorial I'll be adding next. It's in the cutting floor right now AND then I need to convert it. Since I'm making them using my old dinosaur computer my brother gave me...I have the old version of Windows Movie Maker...so I wont have it up on Monday as thought. :( BUT I will be adding it this coming week. Here are the boxes I made today though so you can check 'em out! Those who know me well know I'm SUPER addicted to fairies...so I used all 3 fairies from The Greeting Farm! Their names are Tink, Eva, & Chloe! They are the newest addition to my family of rubbah! LOL!

This is Chloe! She is the bubble gum fairy guarding this treat box of bubble gum! She also goes by her middle name...Rosita!

This here is Tink! She's the chocolate ball guardian! Watch out...this is not your ordinary Tink...this one will claw at you if you try to swipe the chocolates!

And last but not least is sweet Eva! She's the mint fairy! She's so cool to the taste. She's the guardian of all things minty. Here's she guarding her chocolate mint kisses saved for her bittersweet owner...ME! :P We mesh well!


Now I want to give you a moment of *GASP*! I had to try out LV's Copics for this minty cutie! I tell you...I really don't see the big of a difference in these and Prismas! Check that out!


LOL! *GASP* huh? Since LV hasn't used them yet...I thought I'd give them a test drive first to see if they were safe for LV...lol!

I'll post supplies soon!

Hugs,

TGIF!!!!!

And I so mean it right about now! I am SO done with this past week it is sick! Yesterday we went to do a little shopping and I'm tired...but I managed to work on something...but it's still in the working! What is it...well...a video tutorial of how I color using Prismas! I've been asked many times how I shade and blend and what not...and now I can show you! Yesterday I bought a web cam with built in mic so you'll be able to hear my beautiful voice...LMAO...speaking to you! YAY! Where have I been dangit!? LOL!

Anywho...I made this card on Wednesday night while watching Ghost Hunters. I made it using The Greeting Farm's new set called Forest Friends! This set is too darn cute! I have ALWAYS loved Bambi growing up and so seeing this cute deer that came in the set...I knew I had to have it! I also got the chance to use more scraps...lol. ALSO...I wanted to CASE Maria's LO that she used for a card she had submitted to High Hopes. Of course once I tied the ribbon I could not get it layered like on her card...so I just moved it to the side! LOL! Still...I'm happy with the outcome. Maria has been such an ispiration to me since I met her oh let's say a bit over a year ago? She's also the one who inspired me to start blogging. Whatcha think?

So yesterday...

...was my first borns 13th birthday! Yup...as I had mentioned before in posts...it was LV's birthday. So I really haven't done much stamp wise. But now that it's over...I'm ready to get back to my regularly scheduled program! LOL!


Since I don't have anything to show you today (stamp wise)...I wanted to post a few pics of my "teen"! I was having serious flashback yesterday seeing my "teen" and how much she's grown. Wow how time seriously flies! I remember her being my 5 lb. baby girl with TONS of dark hair and a tiny button nose. I was going thru our photobucket album looking for pictures of her when she was little and I can't believe I found THIS picture! It's of her very first picture inside my belly!!! Crazy huh? LOL! She looks like an alien! LMBO!

Then I found this picture! She was exactly a month old here. This was a picture I took of her just before she had her very first long distance trip from L.A. to Yuma, AZ to visit her auntie Lisa. She had that "Don't bother me, I'm sleeping" look...lol. She still has that same look when I wake her up to go to school...lol! She was such a good girl on the drive. NO BOTHER at all!

Now here is the sweetest picture EVER of her. It was taking during the Spring of '02 when she was in kindergarten. Just look at that sweet innocent face! LOL! God I miss those days!

Then here is a recent picture of her. She sure has grown up. In all the hoopla from yesterday I forgot to take a picture of her. I couldn't stop looking at her and feeling all sad that my little girl was growing up into such a beautiful young lady. The way she dresses now, her make-up, her demeanor...soooo different. She's such a good girl though! I have NO complaints in that department! BUT...like any other teen...she does have that "UGH" attitude sometimes. Otherwise...I'm super grateful to have such a wonderful daughter. It was funny because yesterday she was all clingy to me...lol. She's NEVER clingy!

Check out her cake! That's what she wanted it to say! LMBO! That's what people at school know her as...the Jonas Freak! *rolls eyes* WOW! LOL! I know! And yes...that doll was a gift. He's one of the JoBros as his character in the movie Camp Rock. The one she holds a special place in her heart...LMBO...that's what she says!!! You have seen the cards I've made for her right? LOL! Reminds me of MY days of NKOTB!!!

Thanks for looking!

Hugs,
Gabby
