Party Decorations

I am so far behind in getting pictures posted. These pictures are from October. Kylee turned one and had a Daisy Duck themed party. The push ups, cupcakes and cake were all made by my sister Michelle. She has her own business called Sinplicity Cupcakes. She not only makes super cute cupcakes and cakes, but also the yummiest.

The boys got gift box favors with Donald Duck. These were cut out using my Cricut Explore machine. Love that machine!

The banner had pictures of Kylee from birth thru 12 months. Each frame and Daisy Duck were cut from the Cricut Explore.

The last picture wasn't added until I got to the party and took an up to date picture of our birthday girl.

 

 

 

 

Disneyland Shoes

I think I might have mentioned before that we're taking the kiddos and going to Disneyland. It will be the first time for my daughter-in-law and two grand-daughters. I can hardly wait to see their reactions, but while we wait for the day to come we're staying busy with crafts. We've been making banners and baby onesies for a baby shower this weekend, among other things.

The cutest thing I made was a pair of shoes. I got the idea from Sharondalyn on facebook. She made a white pair of shoes and I fell in love with them. I went out to the mall in search of some white shoes and couldn't find any I liked. I was determined to find something that would work and ended up buying a pair of gray Vans.

Here is a picture of "Before". Sorry the picture is blurry, but you get the idea.

After using my cricut and iron on vinyl to cut out a couple of Minnie Mouse heads and names I ironed them on my shoes. Here's the back:

And a picture of the side:

Aren't they too stinkin' cute?! I love how they turned out. Thank you Sharondalyn for the idea.

Minnie Mouse Decorations Cont.

I found these close-up pictures of the Minnie Mouse decorations and gifts so I thought I would share.

This first Minnie Mouse was hanging out at the food table. She was cut as large as I could to fit her on a 12x24 mat using the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge.

Another large Minnie Mouse cut to fit a 12x24 mat. She was put on a stick and was holding some balloons in the front yard to greet guests to the party.

After the party my little grand-daughter wanted to keep her decorations so they went up on the wall in her bedroom.

A close-up of the cups before the polka dots were added.

I think the dots make them so much cuter. The boys got red and black. The girls got pink and black. Khloë got a special cup with a pink band around it.

I have a few more pictures of the name tags for the food, but I still have to get them on the computer. I'll be back with those later.

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.

Friends and Photos Layout

During my grand-daughters birthday party I want to get a picture of each of the kids that I can print out and send home with them. I will also print a copy for her birthday album. This page will be the beginning of that section of the album. The font is from Mickey Font, cut at 1 inch. Minnie Mouse is from Mickey and Friends, cut at 6 inches.

I'm hoping to have a cardboard cut-out of a Minnie/Mickey head with the center cut out so that the kiddos can hold it up and put their faces through the middle for their picture. The film strip is from Mickey and Friends, cut at 6 inches wide.

I also want to capture the penmanship of the kids so I will have one slot for their picture and one for their name that they write themselves or a handprint if they are too young for writing. Heart that Mouse is cut from Mickey and Friends at 2.75 inches.
