AARRGGG!! It's another pirate party

Hello Me Hearties,
Yep it's me again.  I'm finally getting around to posting all my creations.  It's so busy around here that I can't find time to get on blogger like I use to.  Here's a great pirate party theme I did back in September.  I really do love these pirate digi images I found from Woofy World.   For the pirate banner I used the locker talk cartridge and cute the circles out using my imagine stock images.  Most of the other pirate decor was made using my GIMP software and my printer.  For the princess wand I cut chipboard with my cricut using plantain schoolbook and then cut out additional stars on glitter paper.  I then made rosettes to adhere to one side of the wand.  I added a 1" circle to the center and embossed it with divine swirls.  I then went

 Have ye self a great day!!

Girly Jolly Roger Pirate party

Hi,
It's all about parties these days.  I recently created a very girly pirate party theme.  Here are a few pictures.  The Jolly Roger was made on my Gypsy using the Indie Art cartridge.  I hid the original eyes using the "hide contour" feature and added the hearts for her nose and eyes.  For the banner I used the font from the Baby Steps cartridge.  Enjoy!!

Ahoy Mates!

Hello crafty friends,
Here's another birthday party I was asked to put together.  Unlike my previous party. (Very very girly) Zebra Minnie  this party was for a boy turning 6.  He's all about pirates and Jack Sparrow.  Here are a few things I made.  Its not your traditional red and white stripes because of the whole Pirates of the Caribbean color theme.

For the banner I used Plantin Schoolbook for the circles and letters.  The Jolly Rodger is from Indie Art. The ends of the banner are from some of the party packaging for Pirates of the Caribbean.  I created the tags on my Gimp software and then adhered them to blue cardstock and twine.  The treasure chest and pirate ship were used as center pieces.  I painted them with acrylic paints and added jewels and mardi gras beads.  I also created the custom invitation on GIMP.

Have a great day!
