here are some new (less expensive) alternatives
to this toy story banner made out of bandanas.
these banners are made out of
scrapbook paper and cardstock
and strung on raffia ribbon.
they are available with any of the characters
i was asked to help plan a luau
for a boy turning 14.
he really doesn't want anything cheesy,
but there will be a lot of
adults there as well, so his mom
wants it to be sophisticated too.
first i'm working on the invitations.
here are 3 samples i came up with.
option 1:
the hibiscus is cut out of scrapbook paper
using the cricut. it is glued down in the center
but not on the edges so that it pops off
the paper a bit.
option 2:
surfboards cut out of scrapbook paper and
glued onto a square card. corners are clipped
and edges are distressed.
option 3:
i created a surfboard image
with the birthday boy's initial and also
added a small hibiscus to one corner.
which one would you pick???
so, i was asked to make some
toppers and favor tags for a star wars party.
now, back in the day, i loved star wars!
but now there is all this new star wars stuff
that i had no idea about!
(i think by looking back over my previous
parties, you can tell we are pretty
princess obsessed around here)
so anyway, this was a great learning
experience for me... guess this is what
is in store for me in about 5 years.
i thought adding the star paper background on some
looked cute... umm... i mean boyish and cool!
if you have a boy who loves light sabers
and ..... hmmm.... stars.... ???
(guess i need to do a little more research)
my sister is pregnant with her
3rd baby. for the first time she isn't
finding out what she is having
ugh!
i have seen a lot of bloggers photoshopping
the months onto their baby's onseies,
which i think is brilliant!
but no offense to my sister,
we are all kidding ourselves if we
think she will be doing that.
in fact, if you have 3 kids and are doing that
then you are way more on top of things than i am!
anyway, around here we are just proud of ourselves
for getting the monthly picture taken.
so...anyway...
i made stickers that she can put on any
onesie that she wants.
i also bought a little lovey for either sex.
now each month when she takes the picture,
she can lay the toy next to the baby
and you will see him or her growing.
girl stickers...
i really hope it's a girl just so she can use these!
do you see the little flowers on the letters?!
but these boy stickers actually remind me
a lot of my baby boy...
so i guess i want another boy too!
(HER to have another boy--NOT me.)
if you'd like to give this great gift,
email me or stop by my etsy store!
i can customize however you want.
how cute would it be to match the nursery
or the baby shower theme?
