Happy Thursday, my sweet friends! Do you know how loved you are? Immensely! :o)
A quick post (don't laugh!), as I want to share these before I ship them out today! Such a busy bee week. Last month I made a ton of rosette wands for birthday celebrations at a homeless shelter, so I wanted to make a few for Olivia. (As you probably recall, Olivia is this month's recipient of Madison's I Feel the Love Project. It fills me with such joy that she will soon be opening a box filled of crafty love from so many of you. It will be such a blessing as she continues to adjust to life on earth without her amazing mom.)
I went the Disney route this time to honor and celebrate the Disney World memories that she and our beloved Erika shared.
How pretty is that crown?! They are Spellbinders Nested Crowns, chosen for this project to go along with the Disney theme. I used foil paper for lots of shine: silver for the base crown and purple for the smaller nested crown. The detailing I kept trying to do wasn't going well, so I turned to my trusty rhinestones and covered some of the embossed areas with graduating sizes of crystals.
Just like last time, I painted bamboo skewers with turquoise glitter acrylic paint and gave them a coat of sealer for protection. Flowy ribbons are attached for Olivia's twirling delight. :o) I hope she enjoys them and feels my and God's love with every project I made for her this month. She is such an inspiring, strong, radiant 9-year-old and I know she will make a difference in this world. God has incredible plans for her!
Thank you for visiting me today! May your day be filled with blessings, love, and peace. :o)

Mickey and Minnie are from Disney and Friends, which I am so thankful to now own. It will be such a blessing for I Feel the Love creations! :o) Mickey is on a Spellbinders Lacey Circle, while Minnie is on a Picot Edge Circle. Both are embossed with Swiss Dots and their Disney papers are trimmed in Christmas Red Stickles. To deliver extra sappy love to Olivia, I cut out Minnie's outfit with heart paper and surrounded her with red heart rhinestones. And of course she needed sparkling shoes. :o)

Oh they are brilliant thank you for sharing them x
ReplyDeleteHehe Karen - you were right! But I love your Minnie Mouse she's got her cute polka dot outfit on... Isn't that cartridge awesome.. You got that same deal too right~ Those two cartridges for $24.99. I'll be doing Mickey soon, I like your wand idea just so perfect for any child too. And this surely will bring cheery smiles to Olivia.. I'm thinking I may do a disney calendar set too. I have a total of 20 sets of 2013 calendars to do, everyone thinks I'm just doing only one. Nope! the more I'm thinking about it I don't know if I can get them all done on time.... yikes.....
ReplyDeleteTFS - enjoy your lovely Thursday Karen~

These are just absolutely fabulous my sweet friend!! I love rosette wands and Mickey and Minnie look so adorable!! And wow, the crown is fabulous...a Spellbinders set I don't have but need now after seeing this!! I don't have the Mickey cart either, but all of the Disney ones I have, I have trouble with the cuts, especially the eyes. Your cuts look perfect!! Love Minnie's sparkly shoes and the hearts surrounding her!! Just simply amazing as always and I'm sure Olivia will treasure them, not only because they are awesome, but because they came from you :) Happy day my dear friend and huge hugs :)

I know Olivia is going to be delighted to receive these, as well as all of those at the homeless shelter, you are such a blessing.. How big did you make the rosettes???
