Veggie Tales Mother Daughter Night

My husband is currently coaching two upward basketball teams at our church. On Saturdays he coaches our oldest daughter's team. On friday nights he coaches a 5th & 6th grade boys team that didn't have  a coach. Sometimes we go with him and sometimes we stay home. This past Friday I decided to plan a little girl time for my three daughters and my self. Our theme and inspiration for the evening came from Veggie Tale's Princess and the Popstar movie my middle daughter received for Christmas but that we hadn't watched yet.

 The Invitation- I have been really inspired by a great website The Dating Divas to love on my husband and family. When they are preparing dates they often leave invitations for their spouses to build some excitement. I decided that is just what we needed to give my girls something to look forward to throughout the day. I typed up a note that stated I hoped my three princesses would join me that evening for a popping good time and wrapped it around some popcorn. Placed our popcorn buckets out and left the movie propped up for them to find Friday morning. I wanted to also use some poprocks but never made it to the store to get some.

 Ready for the show! These are my three princesses.

Popcorn is a must for movie night. My little one followed the popcorn buckets. When one was empty she went to find another. I spent the night listening and watching because of the choking hazard but she did really well. She is not good about letting anyone else eat anything if they do not share with her. My oldest daughter's love language is quality time so this night doing things together was right up her ally.

 This is my middle daughter and I cuddled up ready for the movie. My middle daughter's love language is physical touch. It worked well that the oldest and youngest wanted to cuddle together allowing me great cuddling time with my middle. Talking straight to her heart.

 After the movie we enjoyed the bonus features and gathered all the play microphones we could find for the singalong features.

 The youngest thinks she is queen and wanted to use all the mics.

 After the singalongs we watched the uniquely you feature. Great scripture and affirming how special God created my girls. Great opportunity for purposeful conversation. After that was finished we decorated posters with Psalm 139:14 on them. I made them the same except changed the colors of the words to fit each girls prefrences. I printed these on white cardstock and they decorated with crayons, markers, stickers, and stamps. This is my youngest learning about stickers. We hung her poster right above her highchair.

 This is my girls piled up decorating.

This is my oldest with her poster. We hung the older two girls' verses in their bedrooms.

What a great fun night. I spoke the love languages of my daughters' hearts. We had a lot of fun. I got to reinforce and speak God's words about who they are. I am looking forward to many more fun times with my family.

Festive Friday- Reindeer Spinner Card

Today is Festive Friday over at My Cricut Craft Room .  Today I have another spinner card to share with you. I have to tell you that this little reindeer is one of my absolute favorite all time cuts. I have to make myself use other Christmassy cuts because my mind always jumps to him.

I used Create A Critter to cut this reindeer. I cut him at 2 inches. He is so fun rolling across the card. The sentiment says Flying by to say Merry Christmas!  The background paper is an individual sheet by Paper Studio I saw and just had come up some way to use it. 

Thanks so much for looking. Be sure to check out all of the other Festive projects over at My Cricut Craft Room.

Card Creating Tuesday- Pink Christmas tree

It's Card Creating Tuesday over at My Cricut Craft Room.  I always get so inspired by all the cards on Tuesday. Today I want to share with you a pink and plum Christmas Card.

This card was made with the Don Juan cartridge. This was the first cartridge I ever had and I sometimes forget to pull it out and see what I can make. I cut the tree at 3 inches. The tree is a shift function on one of the letters. I cut the plum tree using the Under Pressure feature and the gold tree using Under Pressure Shadow.  The sentiment shape was made using a punch I had. I love this paper but couldn't tell you where it comes from. I stole mine out of my mom's paper stash.

Thanks so much for looking. Be sure to check out all of the great cards over at My Cricut Craft Room.

November 100 Cartridge Blop Hop Day 2

Welcome to My Cricut Craftroom's monthly 100 cartridge Blog Hop.

  You should have started at My Cricut Craft Room. If not please go here to start at the beginning. I would hate for you to miss anything.  Today is acutally day 2 of the hop. I hope you had a great time hopping yesterday. Today I want to share a project made with three different cartridges: Create A Critter; Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More; and Everyday Paper Dolls. This a Mom & Me journal I made for my nine year old daughter. She loved it. I will have to apologize for the pictures. I broke my camera and had to use my husband's phone.

I covered a composition journal with two papers and added a coordinating ribbon over the seam. I cut the hippo from Create A Critter at 2 inches. Then I added wiggly eyes and attached him with dimensionals to make him pop out. My 9 year old loves hippos.

The tags were cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More at 3 inches. I added ribbons to them before glueing them down. These were cut with the hole option on.

I cut the two heads from Everyday Paper Dolls at 2 inches. The mom hair is from the bedtime doll and the daughter hair was from the grad doll. I also added wiggly eyes to these for fun.

Thanks so much for visiting. Your next stop is Connie

Card Creating Tuesday- Turtle spinner card

Today is card creating Tuesday over at My Cricut Craft Room. This is a popular day and some of the ladies I am on this design team make amazingly beautiful cards. Today I want to share with you one of my new obsessions- spinner cards. You may remember my Wiseman spinner card a few weeks ago. These are so fun to make and I think equally fun to receive. You are very likely to see a few more of these over the next few weeks. SO MUCH FUN!!

This card is a birthday card for my sister whose birthday is in a couple of weeks. Maybe she won't look at this post and if she does maybe she will pretend like she didn't see it. I actually made this while she was sitting across the table but hid it behind stuff. I am pretty sure she knows she is getting a spinner card but not what is spinning across.

This card was made with Create A Critter. I cut the turtle at 1 inch. My sister loves green and turtles so I thought this was appropiate. I love purples and pinks when mixed with green so that helped me choose papers. These papers were all out of my scrap drawer.

Be sure to check out all of the great cards over at My Cricut Craft Room.
