Valentine's Re-cap

Good Morning!  

I wanted to share with you how successful it was for valentine's day.  If you remember a few post ago,  (Click HERE to see post)  I ranted about the different treats available for your loved ones.  Well, thanks to our family and friends and some unknowns it was a huge success.  I partnered with Jessica from JC Chocolates.  Without her I could not have done it.  Here are some pictures of how our goodies turned out.  

Have a great day!

VROOM VROOM!! Who's ready to race?

Hello!  On your mark, get set, GO!!!  I really had fun doing this theme.

This was also from a party I did back in September.  Wow, it's been 2 months and I'm posting it now.

a few of the things...napkin rings, thank you tags and random
circle tags to be  placed on different things 

This was my first time making napkin rings.  No one had
ever requested them and it had never occurred to me.  I
love how they turned out and how great they look positioned
on the tables.

Table set up for the kids

Banner was partially store bought.  I added the big red
circles and letters to it.  I was a bit weary about the look of
it but I'd say it came out great.  If you look closely you
will see the tags strategically place in different areas of the table

Candy station with ribbon and tags added.

These were the centerpieces used.  

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!!

Lets go Surfing!!!!

Hi Crafty Friends!
Who wants to go surfing?  With the hot weather these days I wouldn't mind wiping out on a wave.  Check out these adorable tags.  I created them on my computer, printed them and adhered them to coordinating orange card stock.  I loved these so much that I'm now in the process of making all the coordinating party decorations to sell on Etsy.  If you want to visit my store click on the link located on the top left side bar of the blog.  

These are the cutest cookies!  I was so happy to see my
tags on them.  The cookies are from
SUGAR CRUSH   Awesome cookies
and cupcakes!!  You can also like them

This is the packaging I put the 60 tags in.
After looking at it I thought about how cute
these would look as treat bags.

Have 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!
