Inspired by a blogger... "I Wanna Be a Rockstar"

I always see such cute creations in the blogging world.  Recently I've been seeing alot of carding going on.  So because of so many of you out there sharing your creativity, I've decided to post my first card project. My daughter has a birthday party tomorrow, and she is a super crafty girl.  The idea of making her own invitations was exciting!

So we went to JoAnnes and she picked out the colors, stickers and papers.

The fun part for me was photoshopping this guitar and laying out the text. Then we layered papers to frame the fun.

Well I didn't even think about envelopes!  So I made some out of these scrapbook papers.  Luckily she picked all the pink ones, not my favorites.  I may have had a hard time parting with some of the papers even though I don't scrapbook.

What about you, are you a card maker like my blogger friends AnnOnAnOn or Missy??

Help! No more Disney Princess... :-(

This is it!  The last Disney Princess left in my daughter's room.  One tiny decal on her mirror, that she just asked me to remove.....  "sob"    She's almost nine and over Disney Princess decor.  It's been a sad transition for me, I'm NOT over Disney Princesses!

First thing she got rid of was her Cinderella bedding. I bought her a comforter for Christmas that fell apart in the washer before it ever made it to her bed. I was then informed  that I would be making her a quilt, so it would be special ;-)  She picked these colors for her room this pattern.  It reminds her of Punky Brewster.  

Help Plea #1

What do I do with this old wicker daybed?  I can't decide if its worth salvaging or not.  We had some company over just a few days after we got it when my daughter was 3.  The kids thought it would be fun to break off the wicker, so now it has holes in it.  Always has.  Any ideas or suggestions?

So I finally got the guts to paint this night stand that was mine growing up.  Aqua is my girl's favorite color. She is very happy with the results.  Below is what it looked like prior to paint.

So this is the dresser.  I am very sentimental when it comes to furniture, it's a very strange thing with me.

Help Plea #2

I just dont know if I can paint the whole thing Aqua!  What would you do?  

This is the next project.  The craft table.  I'm thinking of skirting it with the remnants from her quilt.  Whadya think?

Help Plea #3  

We need to paint the walls still.  My daughter is thinking multiple colors... Too much??
