PF, that's a pretty awesome idea to make a dress that you can wear in multiple combos.  It's cute too!  You'll have to show us the end product when the time comes!

Here's something I made for my 4-year-olds dance classmates for Valentine's Day:



I made some for her preschool too but with a pink top and white ribbon.  I would have loved to create some raised swirls and stuff on the paper but I couldn't find the pieces that feed through my cuttle bug.  I was pretty bummed.

Thanks Moon. Those are cute. I wish I had my siblings here so I could help them w/their Vday stuff, too.

Cute Nou. I love the edge of the bags and the stamp truly completes the look.

I was inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest. 1st, I made a mockup in PS, and once I was happy w/how it looked like, I finally put it into action. 



I spent $1.18 on 3 old wooden canvas frames at Uptown thrift store. Bought the muslin fabric for $1.25, & printed w/our printer machine. =D I love, love, love the end result.

Nice work ladies! Keep it up!

nou and PF, very cute and great ideas!

Here's some invitations I put together for my girls b-day a couple of weeks ago.  The envelopes were made from scratch and the cards were made using digital papers and elements from Roseytoes Designs and then printed on thick paper.

Moon, since you make cards, do you know a little about color printers? I'm looking to buy one that prints decent color, but under $100. I'm just using it to print personal things.

I redid my picture for this frame, and this'll be hanging in the bathroom. I decided to print on muslin fabric for this picture, too. I love vintage things w/a twist and found a bicycle decal on Etsy that I adore, so by following the frame of that bicycle, I created this vintage Hmong-inspired bicycle. I just decided on the quote, "Love the world; extinction is forever."

PF, I don't think you can get a good quality printer for under $100.  From what I've read, a good printer starts from about $200 and up.  If you don't plan to print in colors then a less expensive one would work.  The preferred brands are Epson and Canon.

BTW, I like what you did to the bike.  It's cute!

Oh I see. I have a black and white printer already, but just needed a color printer. Thank you, I'll look into those 2 brands.

Thanks, I've always wanted a bike drawing. lol

I heard Amazon has good prices (through my sister who bought a good one via them) so you might be able to get a really good color printer for cheap.  Share your printouts when you do.

I've got some freebies if anyone wants to download and play with them. 

Tabs:  these are good for digital scrapping.


Journal cards: good for digi scrap too but I created them to use as cards to print for journaling.  I have started 2 Project Life books (digital and the 3-ring binders) and am using the these card to journal on.



Here are examples from my blog:





The cards can also be typed up first before printing.
