Wow! I love being a Princess.


I just had to share that I really enjoyed participating on the Royal Blog Tour this past weekend.  When time allowed, I was able to visit many of the other blogs on the tour but I'm still going back to look closer by going directly to the website at www.royalblogtour.com where I can access links to all the other blogs that were on the tour.

If you haven't had a chance to check out the whole tour, there is still time.

In the meantime, I'm preparing to participate in a local elementary school craft fair (if I'm accepted) as well as a community craft fair that myself and a few neighbors are putting together. 

This past weekend I also enjoyed a weekend getaway scrapbooking and crafting on Topsail Island!  It was very relaxing and so much fun - A shout out to my Cary Table Scrapps craft group!  I love you ladies along with Jen as our fearless leader planning these getaways.

Royal Blog Tour - Party This Way!



Party This Way! 

Good day and welcome my royal patrons!

I am Princess Pam and tis' a "Sunny" time for a Royal Tour!  Verily, I welcome thee to the SunnyGirlScraps Royal Palace with a merry Huzzah.  I pray thee has enjoyed visiting the other Royal Castles!  Tis' many wondrous ideas and projects being shared by my fellow Princesses. Now, twould please me greatly to have thee peruse my Castle.  

Mayhap thee will find inspiration here!  Tis' time to "Party This Way" as I highlight this stamp set.  In faith, 'twas easy to use this fun stamp set as 'tis especially great for creating party themed cards and favors.  Most recently, I used the "Party This Way" stamp set to create invitations for my son's first birthday along with party favors, decorating his birthday hat and his birthday card along with creating a couple of scrapbook pages!

Verily thee may also desire the opportunity to win some blog candy!   To be entered into a drawing for blog candy, thee MUST send an email to sunnygirlscraps@gmail.com and include thy NAME along with thine EMAIL so I may contact thee if thou dost win.  I also pray that thee would leave a comment on my post.

Prithee will you come along and "Party This Way"...

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!  Thou hast been issued an invitation to "Party This Way."  This was a fun invitation to make for my son's 1st birthday and 'twas wonderful to have my non-crafty husband help with making 50 of these invites!  I came up with the design and my husband actually did most of the cutting and punching while I stamped and assembled the pieces.  Pray tell, mine husband did a wonderful job did he not?


Now, every little lad must have a cute birthday hat for his celebration!  I used the Celebrations Party Hats (Item # 118716) to make party hats for all the royal lads and ladies in attendance.  Of course, the Royal Prince required a specially decorated hat showing that he was the birthday lad turning one!  Along with the hats, each little royal lad and lady in attendance received a party favor.  For the party favor, I used the Candy Wrapper die for the Big Shot then decorated the Candy Wrapper with the Celebrations Designer Series Paper and the "Party This Way" balloons.  Inside the Candy Wrapper were the small party bubbles.


The birthday card for my little Prince was kept simple.  This card design was cased from a swap I participated in with my upline.  I loved the simplicity of the design and my husband loves monkeys.  Inside the card, I layered a piece of whisper white cardstock and I stamped one candle in honor of little Prince turning one.


Alas, thou ist almost to the end of the Castle.  My final two projects showcase a scrapbook pages I've created for my little Prince.  As you can see, my little Prince actually wore his party hat!  I absolutely love this scrapbook page with a classic layout.  The photos are the main feature sandwiched between the title with the accents being stamped images from the "Party This Way" stamp set.  The second scrapbook page focuses on the guest autographs.  I started the "autograph page" tradition with my nieces and plan to continue it with my little Prince.



Alas, Good Friends, 'tis with sorrow that we've come to the end of my Castle for this Royal Tour!  'Twas all my pleasure as thee host and I pray that thee enjoy the other Royal Castles of the Royal Blog Tour.  I thank thee for thine visit and wish you a fare thee well on your travels.

If thine has any questions, don't hesitate to email me at sunnygirlscraps@gmail.com.

Snowflakes and Silk



Serene Snowflake Silk Scarf

Here is my latest craft project.  I just discovered stamping on silk scarves and I just love how easy it is to stamp on silk scarves.  For this scarf, I opted to go with a winter theme of snowflakes using the Serene Snowflake stamp set.  I've actually used 3 shades of blue craft ink.

This is a fun project.  Of all the projects that I do, this is one of my husbands favorites. 



SunnyGirlScraps Tips:
  • Rules of Composition - Sometimes rules are just meant to be broken but a good guideline is to first know the rules before you break the rules.
  • When you are out taking "snap-shots" think about the Rules of Composition and how you can take better photographs to use on your scrapbook pages.
  • When creating scrapbook pages consider the same Rules of Composition that you applied to your photographs.
