Here is a picture of my Almost 2-yr old Niece Princess Gabriella (Gabby) - this photo taken a few weeks ago playing dress up. Her Princess party is on April 26 (her real birthday) yea! But we have to miss it *boo hoo* but we will be out there to greet our new nephew on May 21 and be there to take Gabby for an ice cream! It's so cute when she says without prompting, "Auntie Donna coming, Nino John ice cream" because that's what we've been telling her. She is so cute! Don't you just love her cheesy smile? She got it when she started getting teeth & my sisters showed her how to smile to be sure to show them. She's been smiling like that ever since.
This is her special Princess gift I am going to send soon. I used Melanie's What's In Your Tin 2 by Gina K , Stampin' Up!'s retired Pretty Princess and their current Perfect Princess set. I used the Prints Pack for the princess background, used stickles on her dress, crown & wand.
On the inside are her goodies - I was so proud of the fact I know how to make jewelry & have stamping supplies to make her something really special she can wear on her special day. She will be so happy to have a necklace because she's been asking for one. She loves jewelry. She's had her ears pierced since she was 8 months and see the gold bracelet she's wearing in the first photo? She doesn't like taking it off anymore. I used polyshrink for the necklace, bracelet & hair bow charms. I made 25 (12 sets of 2 for all the little girls who attend her party for their favor bags my sister is assembling) of these hair bows and one unique one for Gabby with her name on it! They cost me 50 cents for the ribbon & $1.50 for the barrettes and less than 3 hours to make. Totally worth it because they are so precious! I bet the little girls will like them. In addition to that, I picked up some small star wands, plastic bracelets, earrings and princess mints for the favor bags too, unfortunately my sister doesn't have a Hobby Lobby in their area so I was happy to be on the lookout for the goodies to send her.
Only a few butterflies were made because they ended up taking too much room on the polyshrink so I did the majority with flowers. I colored the images with Prismacolor Pencils (didn't realize they could be used on them, they were easy to color in & came out real vibrant once it was heated & cooled).
At Hobby Lobby, I also got this adorable Princess Tin purse for $4.99 and at Target found her 2 sets of Princess pajamas. I was so excited everything fit inside the purse! I know she's going to LOVE it all! Can't wait to see her open it on the webcam soon!

This is very cute! I can't believe you made all those barettes! My experience with polyshrink has been a disaster so far!! :-(

Very cute set! I may even have to do something similar as I just purchased this set for my little princess. Her birthday is the end of this month. Thanks for the inspiration.
First of all, your niece is super cute!!!!!
and you really must email me or catch me online so we can chat because my dd would absolutely love this!!!!! I now have a purpose for my shrink plastic that I've been hoarding forever and I'm now mad at myself for selling Pretty Princess instead of keeping it. The princess and cake are awesome images!!!!!
