2009 Halloween

 

 I bought Flergs graphics and started learning how to use Adobe Photoshop - LOVE IT!! I was able to put together this invite and glued it inside my coffin shaped invite. A little cardstock glitz wrapped around the middle, two hole punches and a ribbon finished it off.

My one new treat was me Brittle Bones - this girl has like a million ideas too!!

 We had blood bags and ear wax chewies from Oriental trading, cupcakes, chips and the more for food

I spent most of my time ghouling up my ghouls lol

 We even had a buttler handing out teeth...

Our mad scientist kitchen - from oriental trading  - and on the counter was tons of stuff for them to make with caramel apples.

2009 Bday

Another digital masterpiece - off ebay - had them sent to walgreens and shipped to the house.

Ambers ice cream cake - they did what ever we wanted at Dairy Queen.

 Mike showcasing our bowling ball pins sippy cups

They had a ball! I suggest bowling parties all the time now!

Ok - so I bought these mini bowling pins and filled them with gum - you can see it in the picture above and how big compared to the sippys (far right lower of pic)

I bought the pink sippy's at Noveltybowlingstuff.com

 I got these darlings bowling bag purses from Bowlingshirt.com

2008 Bday Hannah Montanna

My first attempt at digital invites - I had a girl on ebay do them up and then I added them to badge holder and a lanyard - like they were getting invited to a concert

They played rockband, did karaoke in the Hannah room - took pictures in front of the huge Hannah posters I found on ebay.

Halloween 2007

So as she got older and appreciated it... I got a little more involved...

 

and so did the invites lol - I got a couple paper cut outs off ebay (hat, cat globe and kettle) and used glue dots to adhere them. Then printed the invite on white cardstock (believe it or not the green bubbles are on the printed cardstock and not an add on) - then I attached it to purple cardstock.

We had a fortune teller section behind the purple wall - neighbors girl came over and told each girl a fortune - just had her keep it pg13 lol

Streamers - balloons - signs and more were all over the house - where ever I could find a spot! They even had these cute things to fill out when they came in - as I didn't know all the numbers for their parents.

This big guy is my favorite and he just passed away this year (2010) - he's a puff ball with streamer legs that you could angle any way you want. I love making them look UP at decorations!

Ok I love these witches hat cookie - there's a surprise in the middle - I bought store made cookies and had them frosted black. I then took cones, filled them with mini m&m's and then put them on the cookie (upside down) and finished them off with cans of orange and purple frosting and a few sprinkles. I made mummy finger hotdogs too.

my favorite popcorn in a bag trick - easier than everyone fighting over a bowl of popcorn - brown paper bags, rolled down and ready to go!

The gang and two tv's for them to watch both movies - one was a premier and the other was a dvd. I just spread them out and let them have fun!

 And our huge cake to feed all 24 kids lol

2007 Cheetah Girls Bday

These are the simplest to make - 

1. Brown cardstock, cut along the edge to make a ruffle effect

2. hole punch with slits (double) to slide ribbon though

3. cheetah print ribbon glued on the edge

4. light brown cardstock with invite printed on it (made in microsoft word) and then stamped with doggie prints

 Gotta love walmart - they can add any thing to a cake - they added the image of the invite right onto it! Then did a cute leopard print around the edges!

I didn't go all out at this part (we were moving soon) - we did a shoe pinata in the basement and I made these marshmellow pops - simple marshmellows on a lollipop stick, then dipped in melted chocolate and sprinkled on real quick - took no more than 15mins to make and a couple to bag them up :)
