Wonder Woman inspired card

Hello again Crafty Friends!

After throwing my son's birthday party last month I got to thinking... "Why can't their be more girl super heroes?? Why do boys get to be the only ones to be rough & tough??".

Then it dawned on me... Wonder Woman was and IS a pretty rough & tough, but oh so feminine, CHICK!! She is the O.G. of kick ass girl super heroes!

If you were a tough cookie of a girl growing up then more likely than not you wanted to be Wonder Woman when you grew up.  She was pure AWESOMENESS! She had a cool invisible plane, an unbreakable lasso of truth, and stylin' bracelets that were pretty much impervious to just about any and every weapon. You would have had to be crazy to not want to be her! Heck, I knew a few little boys that wanted to be her. Who could blame them?? She was waaaay cooler than some of the boy super heroes.

And so, here is my homage to her. A quick and easy Super Hero Chick Card. 

For this card I used Designs On Cloud 9's Heroes Set 2 to make Wonder Woman and Sunshine Card for the background.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Craft Happy!

Cityscape Backdrop

Hello Crafty Friends!! I have another "SPIDEY" project to share with you all. This is a cityscape skyline backdrop for my son's upcoming birthday party. If you read the previous post about his birthday banner you already know that he absolutely wanted a Spider-Man themed birthday party. And, I was more than thrilled to take up the challenge.

For those of you who have read my post about with the Giant Cupcakes

you know I love to use mat-board for my over-sized party decorations. I do this for 2 reasons. 1) I do not possess the necessary tools or skills to make it out of wood. And, 2) Mat board is so much easier and lighter to handle and craft with.  

For the action signs I used Design on Cloud 9's Superboy & Supergirl cutting files and I slightly enlarged the backgrounds behind the wording.

 The BOOM is from the Supergirl file.

 Pow is from the Superboy file

Wham also came from the Supergirl file.

Each file has two sets of action words in addition to various superhero themed designs.

This picture is to show how HUGE this backdrop is. This is my 5 year old and my 1 year old in the picture hamming it up.

As you can see it is taller than she is!

And my 1 year old is barely peeking through the buildings. 

This scene is great on the floor but thankfully it's not going to stay here for long... I'm afraid my children will do some Godzilla action on this city and it'll be mangled before it's used for the party. So, back up and away it goes till later.

That's all I got for today. But this is the last week before the party and I'm going for one last push before then to crank out more Spider-Man/ Super hero themed party decorations. 

I'm hoping to get a little more done before the big day. Check back soon for more updates and progress!

And, Happy Crafting Everyone!!
