Two NEW Videos: Easy Fashion Stencil Tutorial & Dress Up Party

Happy Monday! Today's post is about two NEW YouTube videos I created. First is an art and papercraft tutorial and the second is a fun invitation to join me for "Dress Up With Me Monday" for Instagram.

Recently, I shared my Sassy Stencil Girls art in a "Story Time With..." episode. (Link HERE) So, I decided to do a tutorial on how to make them. I hope you will give this tutorial a try. Your kids might enjoy making their own stencil images, too. You can use people, pets, flowers or whatever you like. (LINK HERE)

Learn how to make these cards and gals in the tutorial

My second video is an invitation to join me on Instagram for "Dress Up With Me Monday" for the month of October 2020. I will be hosting this event one more Monday, October 26, 20202. My Instagram Link

This is a fun day where we wear one or more of our favorite fashion items, share it on an IG post and invite friends and family to join the joy. I started this on Two Peas Refugees' site in August and decided to share it with my IG friends, too. It has been a joyful self care practice for me and so many who have participated. (Link HERE)

Here are my outfits from last Monday and today! Yes, I do love pink! LOL!

My hubby even wore one of his favorite shirts.

Here is a scrapbook page I created to celebrate all the women who have joined the dress up party!

They have been great! Also, I loved using my stencil to make these gals, added paint and the Damask Love ephemera. That was it!

Join me this Monday and wear your happy fashion! Be inspired and have a great day!

Our Romantic Anniversary Dinner

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great. Today I wanted to share some of our wedding anniversary pictures with you. Last Sunday, my hubby arranged for us to have a romantic dinner at the very place where we had our wedding reception. I was so excited when I found out that they set up a table for us to have the whole banquet room to ourselves. How great was that??? The restaurant is right on the bay and has the most spectacular views. So when we arrived they had a table set up for us right by the windows so we could get an even better view. They had the rest of the room set up for an event but I still could remember how it looked the night of our wedding with the lights and the dance floor. Plus the left side of the room is nothing but windows so you can see more of this secluded bay. So as we dined we watched the sunset and it was so fabulous. Even at night all the lights from the surroundin...

Happy Hearts

Today I will be sharing one a several painting I recently finished. This one is one of my favorites. I wanted to try two faces and just love how they turned out. It was fun going crazy with the multi-colored background. The hearts were made using my new favorite thing to make from toilet paper rolls- STAMPS. I saw them on Julie Balzer's blog. Toilet Paper Tube Stamps Then I used my fingers to paint the inside of the hearts. So neat! Take a look and I hope you feel the love and joy in this piece. Aren't the afro's fabulous!!! LOL! They were my first try and look pretty darn good. The little girls afro puff is so cute and reminds me of the ones I had as a child. I love the hearts on their clothes. I used my stencil to make the design then painted around just to show the insides. Hope you enjoyed and come back this week to see some other paintings. Have a good one!

Cupcakes Anyone?

Happy Fall! Last Summer I took a cupcake decorating class at Michael's and I loved it. It was really great to learn the basics. This was all new to me and I was excited to try it out. All Summer I wanted to make more but the weather got too hot to bake so I had to wait. Finally we had a break with some cooler temps and I was able to get back to these yummy treats. I made two of my favorite colors: happy sunny yellow and hot pink. Oh, and they tasted good too. Have you tried cupcake or cake decorating before? Isn't it like art? Maybe that is why I love it. Now I can't wait to make some more. Thanks for stopping by!
