jessie & woody (cowgirl/cowboy) party

August 30, 2010





my daughter loves jessie & woody from
toy story, so for her 6th birthday
that was her party theme.



to stay away from a commercialized party,
i focused on the cowgirl/cowboy idea.
i used a lot of bandanas, cow print, burlap,
jute, hay, and yellow (woody and jessie 
both have yellow in their outfits)
i also incorporated horses and horseshoes
into the decorations. 

the invitation:



return address labels:



the cake:



i used fondant for the first time.
it was actually pretty easy to work with.
wilton has ready made, already colored fondant
that i bought at joann fabrics.



she got these toy story guys for her birthday

the food:





the kids wrote their names on the horse




smore pops = best invention ever!






the pizza roll ups were a big hit!
kids love anything on a stick!

outfits i made:


i made this pillowcase dress out of 2 bandanas.
super easy/super cheap



the siblings got initial shirts.
the letter was cut out of a bandana 
and ironed on.


the games:



"there's a snake in my boot!" (quote by woody)



the kids tried to throw the snake 
into the boot(bucket).
we kept moving the line back to see 
who could make it the farthest away.




"water the horses"



fill your sponge with water in one bucket...


run to the other bucket...

squeeze out the water 
and run back to the next person.
first team to move all their water wins!


"pin the tail on bullseye"
(bullseye is jessie & woody's horse)



party favors:



i forgot to take a picture, 
so there were only 2 left here!



boy favor:


buzz & woody bottle cap keychain,
toy story fruit snacks, &
toy story trading card

girl favor:

jessie bottle cap necklace, 
toy story fruit snacks and trading card

i bought these cute necklaces and keychains from
presents by patience


thank you:

i made these thank you notes
for her to fill in.

like for your next party send me an email.

classy programs

August 24, 2010

i recently did programs for my cousin's wedding


i saw these programs on theknot.com 
and wanted to use them as my inspiration
but her colors were teal, ivory and gold.


so instead of printing the black design onto the paper,
i decided to use my cricut to cut it out of 
gold shimmer paper.


i used 1/16 in ribbon to tie the booklet together.


i didn't want the teal to take over, 
so i just used it on their names...


and on the titles inside!

junior miss

August 19, 2010

here are some personalized cards i made 
for our town's junior miss.
they can be used as thank you cards 
or just for a special note.



her favorite color is teal 
so i used different shades on the card 
and teal rhinestone accents on the tiara.




congratulations karson 
and enjoy your reign!

sneak peak: woody & jessie party

August 6, 2010

i am currently working on my daughter's 6th birthday party.
she loves woody and jessie from toy story.
since i'm not into the commercial "character" stuff, 
we are leaning toward a cowgirl/cowboy theme.

here are the invitations:


i wrapped bandana scrapbook paper around the invite, 
 but first i punched a hole for jessie to peak through.



once you slide the paper off, here is the invite!
i love the different fonts and sizes.  
i've been seeing a lot of this lately and think it looks so great!


coming soon... party reveal

there will lots of bandanas, cow print, & horseshoes!
