STD easy as 1-2-3

So I found this site Vista Print after seeing it mentioned several times in different wedding blogs.  I decided to use their deal of "100 Free Postcards Deal". I designed everything in Microsoft Publisher and saved it as a pdf file.  We wanted something fun, colorful, and informative.  I really wanted a calendar on the STD, as well as a picture of us.  Here is what I came up with...

I finally was able to give my niece, Olivia, her tutu dress that I made for her several months back.  Of course, she looked cute in it.  I think she gets that from her aunties =P.

Well without further a do, here she is strutting her tutu couture...

After putting the tutu on her, I realized I really should of added more tulle fabric to the bottom part.  I received so many compliments on her tutu dress, that I was determined to do another.  I got my chance to do another tutu dress for my little sister's coworker.  I followed the same instructions as before, but I added a sequin trim to the midsection, which I must say turned out freakin' cute!  I also added about twice the amount of tulle as last time.  Here it is...
