Wedding Banner

Isn't love sweet? My sister was married on Saturday in an outdoor ceremony. It was so beautiful. The weather was perfect, the company was perfect and the wedding was perfect.

I made a few banners for the occasion and totally forgot to take pictures of them. Luckily my sister had an amazing photographer and she got some of the banners in her pictures. Her name is Amanda Hobbs and her facebook page can be found here -> AmandaHobbsPhotography. She took some of the most beautiful pictures at the wedding. If you happen to live around the Oroville, Chico, Yuba City area and need a photographer you should definitely look her up.  Here is one of the pictures she took.

Now I'm embarrassed to show you a picture I took, but here goes. This picture was taken at the house real quick with my phone before I put it in the mail to my sister. Yep, that's my excuse for the poor quality. Lol. You probably can't even read it, but it says - Happily Ever After. It was hanging behind the bride and groom dinner table.

 

 

This little bitty banner was on the sign-in table.

 

 

I also made the Thank You hearts with my Explore machine.

 

Minnie Mouse Birthday Party

Happy Birthday to my first born Grand-daughter Khloë. She turns 3 years old in two days. Her birthday party was on Sunday and afterwards she proclaimed: "I want my party again!" I guess it was a hit and she had a good time.

Khloë helped me put Minnie Mouse out front to greet her guests.

At the front door guests were greeted with a Minnie Mouse rug and a door hanging that announced Khloë's 3rd Birthday.

Inside there were banners .

 

Another picture of her birthday banner.

Another large Minnie Mouse hanging out by the food.

A cake for the Birthday Girl.

Tumblers for each of the kids with their names in vinyl. Mouse ears made with felt and goodie bags.

A large Minnie Mouse photo prop for all the kiddos. This was a lot of fun and I found the kids all asking to take their pictures. A special thanks to my friend Scrapalette at http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/2013/11/chalkboard-name-cards.html for the idea. She had a big Cricut cut out for a photo prop at the Cricut Circle Mania in Georgia.

We also had Christmas bulbs decorated with the names of the kids in vinyl that they were able to decorate on the inside.

One last picture (for now). Me and 2nd Grand-daughter Kylee.

We also made food labels and a few other banners. I'll have to see if I got any pictures of those.

Learning to walk - Layout

Time is just flying by, isn't it? I sat down to do a little scrapbooking and realized I have done very little with my 2012 photos. Luckily I do have most of them printed and in a Project Life album so I can page through and pick out my favorites to put in a layout. The pictures here are from January 7th, 2012. Khloë had just turned one a couple weeks earlier and was still testing her walking skills.

I got into the habit of counting steps every time I would see her start out. At this point she was up to 10 steps in a row. I love that she was wearing a Hello Kitty shirt and the two Hello Kitty Cricut cuts were perfect. The first one totally reminds of Khloë walking and being a little off balance. The second one is how she ended up after 10 steps... on her bottom. The font is from the Hello Kitty font cartridge.
