Hello Kitty/Rockstar Party

Okay so....my sweet daughter Liz turned 6 on November 21st!  We had her party on November 19th and boy was it a blast!!  Here are some pics of the party!!  All of the decorations were done by yours truly and my Cricut Mini of course!!  Here they are!!!

The Invitation

As always...I make my own invites using Microsoft Publisher....then I print them out @ Walmart!!  There was something on the back but it was just party info and my address...def don't want to show that! Lol

 The Cake

I just learned how to pipe!!!  One of my addictions is buying piping tips....but I NEVER used them until now!  Thanks to a friend that taught me how!

Cupcakes

The same friend that showed me how to pipe iced the cupcakes for me!!  The icing is BUBBLEGUM flavor.  The kids loved it!!

Sugar Cookies

Hello Kitty Suckers

Purple Chocolate Fountain

Decorations

Made all of these with my Cricut Mini...and I only used the free cartridge that came with the Cricut Craftroom!!

Activities

Pin the Bow on Kitty

Pinata 

Picture Props

Kind of like a photo booth...but we didn't have an actual booth.  But my photographer let me borrow one of her backdrops and I decorated it.

So there you have it....I had an amazing time planning and throwing the party!!  My youngest has already told me that she wants a Spongebob party next year.  It's not until August so we will see...I am more than sure it will change by then!!  A HUGE thank you to my photographer Jen!!  Check her out on fb....  Like Her Page

Max & Ruby/Beach Theme Birthday Party

Okay so my now 3 yr old Cailey had her birthday party about 2 weeks ago.  I originally planned for it to just be a beach theme party.  The party would start at a beach that's close to my house and then back to my house for food, cake, and gifts.  Well sweet little Cailey decided about a week before her party that she wanted Max & Ruby (the bunnies from Nick Jr)  So I added a little decor with them on it to the party.

This is the invitation I made....

I am all for doing my own invites!  All you need is your comp, design software (I use Publisher), & I print them at Walmart. 

 This was the start of her backdrop for her cake table!!  I used foam board that I bought at the Dollar Tree!  I always keep some on hand bc its so cheap...I usually pick up a few pieces whenever I go in there.  I put two of them together and then wrapped it in yellow wrapping paper..came from the Dollar Tree also but I already had it on hand.  For the words/letters I used my Cricut Mini.  So technically it cost me nothing bc I had this stuff already in the house.

This is the finished backdrop

Party pics taken by Jennifer Carter...check her out on facebook @ Jen Carter Photography.

She also took the pic that's of my daughter in the invitation!  

This is the cake.... I am not a cake decorator at all. But I didn't want to spend tons on something that was going to be consumed in a hour. I am going to take some piping classes bc I buy piping supplies all the time but I have no clue how to pipe (its a secret obesssion...shhh!!) :)

For favors I gave every kid a goldfish in it's own little bowl...they were a big hit!!  Even the girl in the pet store thought it was a cool idea.  I just wanted to do something different than the typical goody bag!!

Here are a few more pics that I have...these are more "sneak peek" pics the rest are been edited!

Birthday Girl!!!!

I will be adding more pics!!!

Until next time...

Red & Blue Cupcake Toppers

Cupcake toppers I made for my daughters 2nd birthday last year.  I had to cut everything by hand....soooooooo happy that the husband bought me a Cricut for my birthday in March!!  

Here are more pics so that you can see the entire color scheme and such!

Invitations

Plates, Cups, and Napkins from Birthday Express!

Tissue Pomanders I hung from the ceiling.

Goody Bags

Stickers were made from a seller on ebay!!  They were super inexpensive!!

Contents of the goody bags....Fruit Snacks, Coloring Page ( I printed off of the net), and Olivia stickers I ordered from ebay!

For some random reason I don't have pics of the setup...and I am 99.231423% sure I took some!

Until next time..
