Birthday Chickie  for the Birthday Girl!

Hope she love it...

Now The Queen created this adorable card

How happy will the Birthday Girl be to get this

bright and cheery birthday card !

The Birthday Chickie holding a bunch of Birthday Balloons is 

sure to be a hit with its plaid background and

adorable tulle pink bow!

 The Queen used a Taylored Expression Die called

Wow Wednesday ~ Heartstrings Designs

Happy Wednesday Everyone! Yes it is hump day

and what a week ~ it is hard sending all those kiddo back to school!

NOT ! just kidding it's awesome school has started up 

at the Royal Castle. Now I know what you are thinking .. 

you don't have young kids anymore??

But I do have a grandson who spend most of his days with his Meema!

I have love having the summer days to enjoy spending time with Jason

 but young kids want to do so many things all the time

and it takes away from my craft time!  So here is one 

of my finished layouts The Queen created for 

WOW Wednesday !  using this month Housecall Kit

Life's a Party 

 This has been my favorite kit of all since it had

so many 3 x 4 project sheets that allow me to do the

layout pretty easily and quick!

Used my Xyron Create a Sticker
if you don't own one your should  

get it {HERE}

Everything on this layout was taken from the

House~Calls August Kit  

The Sticker sheets that come with this kit

has a wide range of cute birthday sayings

that you just peel and stick to your layout 

Many of the paper has boarder too so just

cut out your saying 

happy birthday!  Banner was cut out too! 

This layout is from a future birthday of Jason so 

left it blank to add the perfect one which I know will get

capture on file for sure ... make sure you check out 

the amazing Heartstring Designers and their 

Wow Wednesday Projects!

Washi Tape Madiness... Guest Designer Britt Bass

Hello there people!  Britt Bass hear today to share some projects I recently made using some Washi tape and other various crafty supplies available in The Royal Castle Shoppe.

The deal with the royal washi tape is that a 6-roll bundle is $10 and the assortment is chosen at random (but I will tell you, Ms. TSQ has great taste and will totally hook you up - not to worry!).  That is a great deal for washi and she has tape from the top brands in the industry!!

I've also used some Royal Castle Shoppe Buttons (love, love, love!!) and a party straw!

Now that I have you interested with all the fun products I've used, let's get to the projects!!

I love how these buttons have pretty, unique shapes and designs and this washi, with the little swirl design just stole my heart - so I knew it had to be part of a "love" themed card!  Using a pre-made cardbase, this card came together in nothing flat!!

My second project is a layout that is just packed with punch!  I loved these washi colors so much that I was inspired to create a background paper with them.  The buttons came in super handy here, used as anchors for my little embellishment clusters and I love the big, bold statement made by the party straw.  I thought the little banners of washi on the party straw looked like a road sign - appropriate for this page about a family vacation!

I hope you loved today's inspiration!  If you thought you might want to recreate some projects like these, head on over to The Royal Castle Shoppe on facebook and ask for an invite to the shop (PS - everyone gets in!).  The buying process takes only a second to get used to and then you are off, getting some of the latest crafty goodness at an awesome price!

Thanks for taking a look!  If you want to leave a comment, let me know what cool or unusual ways you've used washi tape on your craft projects!!

Keep it royal people!

The Royal Guest Designer Britt Brass

Hello my lovely readers!  I hope you've had a wonderful week and 

you are looking forward to an even better weekend!

I'm here today to bring you more projects 

featuring items that can be found in The Royal Castle Shoppe!

it's a private royal selling group on FB you have to ask to join!

The collection I will be featuring today is actually a very neutral, soft color pallet

 that would be great for scrapbooking almost any 

family member, young or old, male or female (or animal!).

  But, I took one look at it and it SCREAMED baby boy cards, to me. 

 So, I went with the muse and she didn't do me wrong, not one bit! 

Before we get to the projects, here's a little product parade:

Buttons!

GCD, "Indian Summer"

Excited yet?  Well, then, on to the projects!

 I was so amazed at the way all the patterns in this collection coordinated with each other!  The simple color scheme really helps things along; as you see, I was able to use four patterns on this blooming flower baby shower card and they work so well together.  I'm in love with this card!

With this card I wanted to show that it is possible to isolate the blues and browns in this collection to be even more baby boy-oriented.  Although I used this collection for two baby themed cards, this collection has no thematic elements, so I could see it being used for lots of different themes.  Don't think you have to use it just for baby!

---------------------------------------------------

Other supplies: Distress ink, ribbon, Flower dies (Cherry Lynn Designs, Memory Box), Flower Punch (Martha Stewart), Stamps (Hampton Art for Echo Park, Bundle of Joy), Ink (TPC)

------------------------------------------------

Feeling inspired?  Want to order some GCD "Indian Summer" and assorted buttons for yourself (among SO much more available in the shop)?  Head on over to The Royal Castle Shoppe and request and invite!  You'll be added (fairly quickly) and you can begin shopping the awesome selection of paper crafting goodies that arrive in there almost daily!

  

I'd love to hear what you think about these projects, so comment away!  And, stay tuned for more projects featuring other products available in the shop, in the weeks to come!

Thanks for stopping by!

Keep it ROYAL people!
