Baby Shower Decorations

Hello,
My friend Dolly was hosting a baby shower and I helped her with some of the items.  Here are the backdrop, diaper cake and favors.
The design was all Dolly, and we executed it together.  I think we make a great team!!

 Here is a close up of the diaper cake.

This was the inspiration Dolly found on Pinterest. How do you think we did?

Thank you for checking in!

Looking forward to sharing more with you next time.

Making rosettes

Hello,
So excited to share my latest project with you. 

My brother-in-law, Juan and 6 other Genentech employees are all co-owners to Three Mile Brewing Company in Davis.  This week from Feb. 14-18, they are celebrating their 2 year anniversary and I was asked to help make the decorations. I was tasked to make over 40 of these rosettes all in black and white. 
Here are some of them.

 Here is the variety of papers I bought at It's All About the Scrapbook store in Dixon.  They have THE BEST paper selection!!

 Here is part of the selection all made.

 
 Then, I decided to add white centers to the  large black ones.

 Stephanie made the burlap banners, it says, "Cheers to 2 Years"

 Here's a few close ups of the rosettes hung on the wall.

 Jaime hung a few of them in the windows with fishing line.

 Here are some more rosettes hanging from the ceiling.

Thank you Shelley and Nicole for helping me!

I will be publishing a video on how to make these rosettes soon!

Happy 2nd Anniversary to the Three Mile Brewing Company! Looking forward to many more years to come!!! Go to Davis and celebrate with them!

Brandon's Farewell Celebration!!!

Hello,

My friend Shelley's son Brandon just got a job in Seattle and I was asked to help with decorations.  This is what I came up with.  I bought a scrapbook page with the United States and added a little "extra" to personalize it for Shelley.

We went the funny route instead of the normal "Bon Voyage" and "Good Luck Brandon." 
One sign says,  "Bye Felicia!"

The other one said, "FINE. GO." 
I also traced the states onto foam board and cut them out, punched out 2 hearts, and connected them with some twine.  

I also had a lighted sign that you can choose from a selection of letters to make your own sign.

We also had a candy bar.

I made another gift for Brandon's friend's twin sons, I put a "B" for Brandon in Washington and "L" and "A" for Liam and Alec in California. They are 4 years old so I thought it would be a great geography lesson too.

This is what the table with all the decorations looked like.  I also made a fold out card that had "Follow Your Dreams."  It was made by connecting envelopes together and decorating one side.  The station had blank cards for people to write their well wishes and the cards were then inserted into the envelopes for Brandon to read when he moves to Washington.

Here's the guest of honor in front of his banner!  Good Luck Brandon and we wish you well in your new adventures!!

Hello,

 I just celebrated with my good friend Nicole for her FABULOUS and 40 party. Here we are:

I made some medals with various pictures of Nicole I snagged from Facebook.

 Here is a collage of the pictures I used.

I also made some favors with her favorite candies, Recee's and Kit Kats.  I wrote on one side, "Nicole is FABULOUS and..." and on the other side, had the numbers 40 I cut out of gold glitter paper.

 Here is the yummy cake her mother made for her.

 Here is the birthday girl getting sung to

Happy Birthday Nicole...You are 40 and FABULOUS!!

I don't just do children's parties, I just enjoy any reason to celebrate.  Here are other parties I have organized. I love thinking up activities, games, decorations and favors!!

Minion birthday party!!

Hello,
My Pilates instructor asked me to help with her daughter's birthday party.
Julia chose a Minion/Survivor party.  She wanted a craft  for the party invitees to make and decorations for the party.
So, I immediately went on Pinterest and found some great ideas.

I went to Seshalyn's website and was able to download her printouts.
I made the banner and stamped out Julia's name on one of the signs.

Another sign I found on Pinterest, Rebekah Lewis' website that I am having the mom put on the front door is this one.  I thought it was a cute sign to have for the guests to welcome them. Who wants one to hang outside their cubicle or office?

I also printed some more minion images to make a bookmark that they will create. They will use the Tag Topper punch, stamp out their name in Night of Navy ink, ink the edges, attach a minion they punch out either next to their name or on the other side and attach some ribbon to the top.

Here is the party set up.  Starting on the left, going counter-clockwise, journal decorating, Minion tattoos, personalized bookmark making.

Here is the banner up.

For the Survivor part, I brought an obstacle course set I bought years ago on the Clearance Rack at Target, and I have used it many times.  It has hurdles, cones, and frisbees to set up your very own obstacle course.  

 

I also brought 2 pails and 2 car wash sponges for a wet relay.  The sponges look like this:

You put one tub of water on one end of the yard, and the 2 pails at the other end.  Place the sponges in the water and split the children into 2 teams.  These are stock pictures, I didn't take pictures of the game.

One person from each team takes the water soaked sponge to the pail at the other end of the yard and squeezes it into the pail. Then, they run back to the tub of water and passes the sponge to the next person in line.  The team who has the most water in their  pail WINS!!!
Anyone need a party planned?  Thank you for checking in!

Slumber Party Fun!!

My friend Dawn asked for help for a slumber party for her daughter's 11th birthday.  It was Paris themed, inspired by this stamp.

First, I made cupcake decorations with the stamp, an oval punch, and short skewers.

This is how I packaged them up.

I also thought of the necklace kit I got the last time I was at Scrapbook Expo and I used at my nieces' party a few years ago.  It's a simple craft for young kids.  Coincidence?  I love it!!

Here was the set up for decorating journals that Dawn bought for the girls to decorate.  I brought my inks, markers, letter stamps, Project Life paper kits and accessories.  Many of these items are now retiring and are on sale, some of them half price, while supplies last!  Click here or on the links at the bottom of this post.

I also cut out letters to personalize the bookmarks with the girls' names.  They used inks, washi tape, and markers to decorate them.  They enjoyed sponging the bookmarks and making them their own.

 Dawn also wanted a spinner to play Spinning Manicures! I just found a magnetic spinner at the Dollar Store and found a magnetic white board to place it on.  PERFECT!! Another coincidence?  I think not!!

You realize this is perpetuating my need to continue to collect and buy things "just in case."
Ask me about any of this or visit my Children's Parties page on how I got the experience of planning themed parties.  

Which one is your favorite game or activity?

American Ninja Warrior Birthday Banner and cupcake picks!

Another co-worker was asking for help with decorations for her son's birthday party.  The theme was American Ninja Warrior, a competition game on NBC taken from a Japanese show. This is what she found on Pinterest to inspire me.  And yes, she made the cookies with the ribbon to look like medals.

I downloaded a sunburst from Google images that I thought looked like the American Ninja Warrior emblem.  I printed them out as two 5 X 7's per page, cut them apart and then cut the bottom from the bottom corners to the center of the sunburst.

 Here is my version of the banner. 

Once I have enough banners, I cut out some white circles and die cut the letters to spell out "Happy Birthday Grant."  I used extra pennants as spaces in between the words like spaces.

 I used Basic Black Chevron ribbon to attach the letters so she could hang it for the party.

 I also printed the logo and punched them out for cupcake picks. I taped the onto a bamboo skewer and then adhered the logo on top of it.
