free comic book day 2011

My Husband Is amazing!

He has started a comic & multimedia company with another nerdy friend of His, and this was their first event. I was so proud of Him. I almost cried as I watched Him sitting and encouraging others to not give up on their dreams to become an artist, because there were so many times He almost did. 

God has blessed Him with a gift like I've never seen and Louis has chosen to not give glory to Himself but to God.

It was so amazing to meet all the artist and feel the love. No one was competing, They were all there for the love of it. I must say , I think I'm turning into a nerd! lol!

He was feature on a really cool blog, I was honored when Monica Briano ( who is an incredibility talented photographer and video editor ) featured Louis. check Her out at monicabriano.com, to see the post on the event.

   

Here's some picture that I took..

 Lou asked Me to make some bows, like the one his Character London Day ware's.

 This Was Our model " The Beautiful Rosee " she Was gracious Enough to pose with fans for a picture, And she was a perfect pin up.

 This is My favorite little guy Henry, He couldn't decided weather He wanted to be batman or spider man! lol!

 We had a great time with our New friends Rosee and Abniel,they were so much fun and we were so happy to have them be a part of this. Sorry about Lou's face. He apparently thinks it's funny to NOT smile in pictures, lol 

 Here are the partners, Shane & Lou. So different yet so alike, lol

So excited to see what God will do through this!

Remix!

I am so blessed to be able to work in the youth ministry at  my amazing Church.

 Every three months or when there is something special coming up, we put on these huge outreach events. They are crazy! We go all out with dancing, skits, food, dancing, candy, and most importantly...The word! that's right Jesus! 

Over 500 youth showed up to our last remix, people were sitting on the ground because we ran out of seats! Now that's a good problem to have in a church,lol!

We had a sock hop!

Our next Remix is tomorrow and it gonna be so much fun! The theme is " Don't be scaarred!" It's a Pirate theme.

So I'll be sure to post those pictures but till then here's what we did for our last remix

 We transformed our youth cafe into a diner

 We served milk shakes at different stations

We hung up vintage pictures everywhere

I love happy days!

Hi! I’m Kristen, designer and owner of 3 Little Birds Boutique. I am also lovingly referred to as mom and wife by my sweet baby girl Kailey and wonderful hubby Derek. In the wee hours of the night, when most are sleeping, I create custom hand stamped jewelry, keepsakes and hand crafted paper products. I have such a passion for everything creative and feel so blessed to be involved in helping people create custom pieces they will cherish and pass down for generations.

I am so excited to be Strawberry Sky’s guest blogger to celebrate 100 fans – Yippee! In honor of you, her adoring fans, I will be giving away a FREE pair of sterling silver creamy freshwater pearl earrings. I hope to get to know all of you and would love for you to follow my blog www.blog3littlebirdsboutique.com where I offer loads of creative ideas, freebies and giveaways. Earlier this month I offered a tutorial on an adorable personalized journal and Sarah and I thought it would be fun to share it with you here. Enjoy!

Make Your Own Journal

I just love decorating these little composition books, I never run out of reasons to make them. They make a perfect gift or thank you, would be perfect to make kids schoolwork a bit more fun and they make a wonderful journal. For the above journal, follow these simple steps:

1. Gather your supplies from your local craft store (composition journal, 4 pieces of scrapbook paper - 2 are for the front and 2 are for the inside cover so pick them accordingly, glue - Zip Dry brand glue is a must for this project to keep bubbles from forming, scissors, and any decorations you might want - this project uses 1 K initial in glitter chipboard)

2. Apply your Zip Dry glue to the face of your composition journal (do not put glue on the spine of your journal). Make sure that the glue gets to the very edges of the journal.

3. Next take your scrapbook paper and place it onto the glue on your composition journal lining it up along the spine of the journal. At this point your paper will greatly stick over the edge of your journal.

4. Now, turn your journal over, open the front page and trim off the extra paper by cutting right up against the edge of your journal.

5. For the backside and 2 inside covers of your journal repeat steps 2-4.

6. Add your initial or other decoration of choice.

Below are 2 examples of composition journals I made for my blog writing and my Hubby. For these examples, cut a strip wide enough to cover the entire spine of the book and glue it down after the front and back covers are glued down but before the decorations are added. Next, let your imagination go wild and decorate. Have a blast! 

Hope you enjoyed this great tutorial!

We will be featuring Kristen's great giveaway Tuesday August 24th so stay tuned!

Happy Birthday Girl!

We recently added Birthday party Packs To our line up of products, order 3 or more tutu's and get a 20 % discount!  I wasn't sure if I was going to have any takers, but much to my surprise I got an order!

Our "Girls Just wanna have fun " event was so successful that the word got out and We had our first Birthday Party Order. 6 Tutu's, all different sizes and colors.

It was so cute when one of the girls requested something special made for her tutu. She had specific colors in mind, green,blue & purple. I used green, glitter turquoise, and purple. 

It looked great! We called it "under the sea" because it looked like something the little mermaid would ware.

   

As for our Birthday Girl, She had a great day in her Fairytale pink tutu at the spa with family and friends!

Each birthday Girl get a birthday card and treat from us...

Spa day!

  Happy Birthday!

to another happy customer...

Sarah
