31 Days of Crafting - Day Nine - Happy Birthday Barbie!!!

My favorite doll, my favorite toy, my favorite everything Barbie is 58 today.  I have so many wonderful memories of playing with this doll.  My Barbie dolls weren't just models and beauty pageant contestants, but they were astronauts and nurses and lawyers.  They owned soda shops and Pizza Hut, one was an ambassador for UNICEF.  Barbie could be ANYTHING, whether she was wearing a Dollar Tree dress or a Donna Karan coat or a cut off sock (don't act like you didn't do this).  She was always inspiring to me.  She's still inspiring to me.  And every year I make a birthday card that celebrates her, because she deserves to be celebrated.

31 Days of Crafting - Day One - #OneChicago

HAPPY NATIONAL CRAFT MONTH!!!  It's my third annual year of 31 Days of Crafting posts, where I try to post at least one project each day.  It's a tall order but I know I can do it!

I've never made a card inspired by any of the Chicago shows before.  Chicago Fire is my FAVORITE show and the others are pretty close to that in my book. I'm SO EXCITED for the addition of Chicago Justice and for the all night Chicago-thon tonight on NBC!  I wanted to make a love card, not only because I love the shows but because they have so much heart to them.  The background is representative of the colors of the shows' logos blending together as one :D
