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!!

It's all about football and superhero cupcake toppers.

Hello,
I know I haven't posted much lately.  October is a busy month.  My boys birthdays are 9 days apart.  I had a little something for each of them in their classrooms, then my oldest is in football.  Had another little something then.  Finally had a few friends and family join us for a little party at Boomers (arcade, go karts, mini-golf).   Here are a few pics of the toppers with their cupcakes.  The first ones are for my now 5 year old Gabe.  He's a superhero freak!!   The second set is my now 7 year old Manny.  He lives and breathes football!!!! He loves the Dolphins, UM and his team the Warriors.  (a bit insane for a seven year old)

A big thank you to Cake Creations and Annie's Cupcakes.

Also made these toppers with my son's football team colors
and his jersey number.  

Banners in Action

Good Morning Friends,
Thought I'd show you some really cute banners I made for 2 special boys I know (not mine, although mine are special too :) )  If you've been following my blog you'll remember I made some really cute Phineas and Ferb cupcake toppers.  To check out that post click here--------->Phineas and Ferb Madness 

A big thanks to my friend Zeni.  Check out her blog Scrappy Zeni.  I was in a creative funk while making these.  I sent her a text and asked her for some suggestions.  She saved the day for me.  :)
Enjoy!!!

here's a photo of the toppers on the cupcakes..
These were delicious!  

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!!

Hello Friends,

I hope you're having a great time.

Welcome to the "It's My Birthday Blog Hop"  hosted by the lovely Jennifer at Crafty Card Gallery

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!!

If you've randomly visited and wish to start from the beginning click HERE

If you've hopped  here from Kimberly Diane's Paper Crafts then you're on the right track.  Your next and final stop is Jenn at Scrappin' Lil Turtle

By now I'm sure you've seen some pretty awesome stuff.  This is a big group of very talented crafters.

Anyone ready for Spring yet?  It's just around the corner....Butterflies always remind me of Spring. So I decided to make a lovely birthday card using the butterfly from the "Walk in My Garden"  cartridge.  I used the "Divine Swirls" folder to emboss it and added "Star Dust" stickles to give it some bling.  The stamp is from Michael's #1 deals.

What's a party without cupcakes!!  I also made these matching cupcake toppers.  The scallop circles are from "Accent Essentials" cartridge.  I used the same butterfly and added stickles to it.   The pictures really don't do this project justice.  Apologies for the quality.  It was late when I did this and the lighting in my house is awful.

Now on to the giveaway! You're going to love this......The Sweet Matstack by DCWV (with glitter).  The paper patterns in this are simply adorable.  I almost kept this for myself and then thought about how selfish that would be.  :) I think I'll just go to Joann's and buy it for myself.  Just leave a comment on this post and I will choose a winner with random.org.   I'm heading out of town and will pick a winner next week.

ENJOY THE REST OF THE HOP!!  YOU'RE ALMOST DONE.

Happy Crafting!

Phineas and Ferb Madness

Who's hungry for cupcakes?  Look at these adorable cupcake toppers!!  I'll make these using any theme along with the matching banner.

For these I used my computer to print out the images.  Then used a 1.5" punch.  I used the Accent Essentials cartridge for the scallops.  I cut out 2 scallops for each topper.  I glued the image to the first scallop then hot glued the sticks in between the scallops.  This gives it a little more dimension and you can't see the stick from behind.  I loved seeing these come together.  They're going to look great on the cupcakes.
