Pirate Cupcake Toppers










Ty's turning 3 and his mom wants cupcake toppers for his Pirate Theme Party. I made these for a trial run. I have some changes I want to make but at least I've got a starting point. The graphics are from Lettering Delights and are sooo cute. I think the little pirates are my favorites. Happy Pirates Birthday, Ty!

Charlotte

Charlotte's mom and I became friends through the Internet. She is a talented graphic designer who creates the kind of designs that I love. I found her through TomKat Studio's blog and she has been so helpful and wonderful to work with. She has done some custom designs for me and some I buy from her shop. She recently converted a PNG file to a SVG file so that I could use it with my Cricut. Whatever I have needed she is so willing to help me with. I asked her to let me make something for her children and she wanted a shirt for her sweet little Charlotte. Hopefully Monique will let me embroidery something for her little boy. Check out her beautiful shop http://www.moniquechvataldesigns.com/
I wanted something soft and sweet for Charlotte since she is a young toddler. I chose a design called Baby Patch and used pink fabric. The applique is from PlanetApplique, my favorite shop for appliques. They are simple and modern.

Recipe Friday

Muffin man (aka Grayson) and Alex are coming for the weekend so I had to make muffins for those guys. Bakerella shared these on her blog a couple days ago and they looked really good and they are really good. They are called Yummy Bananaberry Muffins and I would love to share the recipe. Just send me an email. Have a great weekend!

Twinkle Toes Ballet










A friend asked me to design a shirt for her young niece who is having her Dance Recital this weekend. I found a wall hanging at Hobby Lobby that was my inspiration for the shirt....Twinkle Toes. It was 50% off. I also found a frame in the almost "give away section". It had a mark or two in it but fit my color scheme so I snapped it up. A bow hides the less than perfect spots and her name in vinyl makes it personal. So "break a leg" Ashley! I know you will be an adorable ballerina. Isn't that appropriate for dance recitals? I hope she likes her gifts.
