A Valentine Refashion for a Fashion-Maven

One more Valentine project...

A while back we were killing time at Walmart and I saw these little white t-shirts for 50 cents!!

I can't make her little white t's for that... in the cart, a handful of them.

So what if they look like a 12 year old stitched them together...

I could make them look adorable!

So, I got my Cricut and some freezer paper out.

I cut out a tattoo-heart and then ironed it to the t-shirt.

Then I took another piece and ironed it onto the back side of the t-shirt.

This way, none of the paint would wick or run.

Then I pulled out my favorite pearlized pink acrylic paint and some textile medium and mixed them up.

Then I took a sponge brush and sponged it onto the shirt.

After it tried, I pulled off the freezer paper off and ironed it to set it.

I had some extra peachskin fabric and attached a skirt.

Before I could even get her out the door for a picture,

AuBrynne insisted the dress needed one more thing!

I laughed and said What?

She ran and got a little bolero in pink and said, See?! It matches perfect!

Goodness, I love my little fashion-maven!

Valentines for School

Valentine's Day 2011 is in the books.

AuBrynne was more than happy to help me make her Valentines to share with her class-mates.

We made Heart Shaped Brownie Covered Oreos.

Fortunately for the family, we made them a few times to "perfect our technique".

I don't know where this recipe originated, but in the recipe I ran into,

it says to: dip your oreos into brownie batter then bake in muffin tins...

This does work perfectly for round muffin tins.

We used the Wilton Non-Stick Mini Hearts Pan

I did have to cut a TINY triangle out of each oreo

Make sure you have the sharpest knife you can find...

Anyways, I used baking release on the pan and got out my small cookie scoop.

I scooped one scoop of brownie batter into each cavity (left pan)

Then added an oreo to each pan and pushed it nearly to the bottom (right pan)

Then one more scoop of brownie batter over each oreo:

Now, because I was doing this slowly and taking pictures...

The oreos floated themselves upwards.

If you do this at normal speed, and get them into the oven, this doesn't happen.

Bake them in a 350 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

DO NOT OVER-BAKE. This is easy to do. Yes, I did this.

When you take these out of the oven, be sure to slip a knife or other implement around the edges,

or they won't come out. Yes, I did this too.

Anyways, this is what you will have once you let them cool and figure out how to get these out of the pan:

Actually, the left one is what they look like if you let them float up...

Yes, another "test" batch for the family...

Ok. These are PHENOMENAL on their own, just plain.

But they could be decorated...

and that is just what we did!

We got out the pink candy-melts and dipped the tops.

Then dipped half in red/pink/white sprinkles.

Then we proceeded to make the labels and package them up!

I made the fold over label in Photo-Shop.

And printed them on card-stock.

AuBrynne stamped some extra pizazz onto them...

And her seal of approval :)

Here is the whole lot of them:

I think they are REALLY sweet.

But I am very happy this project is finished.

The smell of Brownies are TOO tempting!

Tomorrow, I will share AuBrynne's Valentine Refashion!

Oh! We love Valentine's around here!

It's been a great opportunity to help AuBrynne learn about loving  EVERYONE...

She has been asking for some Valentine's outfits.

So, I thought I would add this as my submission to the

Making It With Allie Party!

This one is a hybrid of sorts.

I had this shirt in my closet that I Rarely wore...

I don't wear reds...

Here it is:

So, I chopped it up and then made some pants with some tiered ruffly knit.

AuBrynne calls it her
 Shimmy Shimmy Shake Shake Shake Outfit.

And you should see her when she is in it!
