Project Birthday Party- Framed Pictures

So I found this cute idea online. Pull pictures off the American Girl website and print them out. Frame them in cheap Walmart 95 cent frames, to set up around the food table. These were easy and just a little touch that helps add to the theme.

Maybe I should let some of the girls take this home as door prizes?? I could make tickets and raffle them off?? OH what do you think?? Thanks for stopping by!

Project Birthday Party- Cupcake Name Tags DONE

After adding girls and changing the paper because I ran out of the shinny cream these are done. Everyone will have a name label for there cupcake! Super fun to make with my cricut!!

I think there are about 20 people coming!

Project Birthday Party- Name Bracelets with Matching Doll Bracelets

This task I will not lye was NO FUN!! I bought a big tub of beads to get the most for my money.


This turned into a huge ordeal!! I had to dump the whole thing out sort all the letter beads into a different container and then find matching size and shapes for each girl and name. If I ever do this again, I would buy letter beads and nothing but letter beads to make it easier on myself. Live and learn! They turned out cute and I found every girl and dolls name so I am thankful I didn’t have to buy more beads!!


I will post pictures the day of the party so you can see these on the girls and dolls!

Project Birhtday Party- Girl Hats

Well I couldn't resist making the girls matching party hats like the dolls. So I set out to make eight hats and found the cutest template online! I love the internet!! This party should be dedicated to the World Wide Web!! With it this party would have been about ten notches less fun! So here they are party hats for the girls!!

I love the pink ribbon!!  I would love to hear your favorite part!! Thanks for stopping by!!
 

Progect Birthday Party- Pinwheels

Ok these have been really fun today with my cricut! I love cutting for squares perfect with hitting buttons. Best way for me that can’t cut straight to save my life!! Rulers and rotary cutters are a very good friend of mine. (Is it weird that all my friends seem to be tools??) So I have made some cute little doll pinwheels which were much easier then the bigger ones by the way. But with a cute rhinestone they turned out just darling that I made four more then I needed!! Oops I think I had a lot of fun with this project!! I only have memory book prep and girl party hats and I am done with Prep!! Next will be stuff the day before like food and set up!! Oh I am super excited!!

Project Birthday Party- Doll Hats

This project was going to be one the easier ones... that was my first thought. So after some looking and humming to my Glee Pandora station playing in the back ground I decided on a triangle to make my doll hats. NO GO!! So I think to myself go a little bigger and it will fit the doll. So off to the Cricut I go and I cut a little bigger. Ugh again a NO GO!! So I think the good thought and turn to old trusty Google. Someone else in this world has had to have made a doll party hat before right?? RIGHT!!! I found a great template and make the cutest doll hats!! Thank you http://www.make-it-do.com/make-it/doll-sized-party-hat-template/. This template is the reason these cute doll hats were made, so to them I again say THANK YOU!!

 Kanani with her party hat on!! Sorry Kanani parties not for another two weeks. hehe

I love how they turned out. The dolls will be ready to party is style!!

Project Birthday Party- Sign

I thought a cute front door sign would be a great way to let guest know to let themselves in. I love how it turned out! What do you think? The countdown may begin today. Two weeks till PARTY TIME!!

I love the pink ribbon too!!

Project Birthday Party- Prep Prep Prep

With my head spinning with ideas I finally stopped on two crafts we will make, memory books and matching girl and doll bracelets. Then there are the pinwheels I need to make for girls and dolls. Party hats for both girls and dolls, cute name labels for the cupcakes, yes I bought some for the dolls also and will make mini cupcakes for the dolls! I will need to still laminate and get a couple things from a party store. But this week is mostly going to ne PREP work if it kills me. I will be dreaming of American Girl Dolls in my sleep. Oh did I mention I will have a cute American Girl crossword puzzle just out so the girls won't be board??I think I have almost hit overdone!! I hope not!! Thanks for stopping by!!

I love the little doll invitations too!! All this fun makes me wish I was nine again!!

New Shinny Toy

So I broke down and bought a shiny new toy to help me on my craft adventures! A Circut Expression 1. I love love love this thing. Multi-cut and fill page options and I am sure this is can do things I haven’t figured out yet. I love the screen that generates what I am selecting to print so I can double check what I am cutting. So anyone have a project idea send it my way!! Thanks for stopping my!!

Craft of the Day- Birthday Cards

I went back to JoAnn's today. Yes BACK. I really think I have been there three times this week. Anyways I went back and got more empty bolts, which were a pain in the rear end to get this time around... manager approval, then blacking out the blots labels, and she was very nervous she was going to get in trouble for giving them to me. Jeez, if I knew it would be that big of a deal I wouldn't have asked. Poor lady! But I got six more empty bolts and finished all my fabric on them!

So onto the cards I made!! I got the cutest die-cut today for my Big Shot! A cupcake! Who doesn't love cupcakes?? So I made some cute birthday cards today. One is already done, written in, stuffed and ready to be mailed tomorrow. What do you think?? I think I am loving my Big Shot and don't use it enough!! Well thanks for stopping by!

Project Birthday Party- Invitations

This month most of my craftiness will be going to my daughter’s 9th birthday party. I have a full four weeks right?? I thought I should get going on it now, and I planned everything and just need to get things done. This is where Project Birthday Party was born.



I did a mock card for my daughter to approve. She's is going to be nine, and I never know what she will like anymore! So here it is! What do you think?

The invitation was approved! (with a little tweaking with the words and banner) So I need to get her guest list and get going! Thanks for stopping by!
