Pinterest Party Fun

We had so much fun at the Pinterest Party we had at my church the other day!! Everyone got to make a wreath of the holiday of their choice. This is definitely something we will do again. Everyone was so creative! 

Here's a youtube tutorial if you're interested in making one or hosting your own Pinterest Party! 

We made these easy felt flowers for ours. It can be as cheap or expensive as you'd like. 

Party Time

We had Clint's mom a 75th surprise birthday party last week. I was in charge of decorating. The colors were pink and yellow which turned out really cute together. I made these really cute tissue puff balls. I have been seeing them every where and learned how to make them from you tube above. It's a really easy and cheap party decoration that you can make. Try it next time. Super easy!!

This was one of my favorite decorations. The celebrate/photo banner. I printed out old 5x7 photos of her and hung in between each letter. Hopefully I will be able to make a mini album of them soon.

I found these flowers at the Dollar Tree. They are supposed to be yard decor.

CTMH Baby Banner

I finally finished Anna Lynn's banner today. It turned out really cute but the letters don't "pop" as much as I'd like for them too. I used stickles on everything so it's really glittzy. :) The banner is a chipboard banner from Close to my heart. I used a pack of 8 and then used one more out of another pack. I am going to make me a "family" one for our living room. I've got to buy some papers that will match though. Have a wonderful weekend!

Hearts

I love my new cricut cart (cherry limeade)!!

Give thanks Banner

Here's the "Give Thanks" banner that I made for the banister at church. I had the bows made. I've already bought the ribbon and made the banner for Christmas. Can't wait to put that one up too. I love how it turned out.

In the MOOD!

Here's the little apron Christmas cookie exchange card that I made for our annual cookie exchange at Cathy's. Last year was our first year doing it and it was so much fun. So now we're going to do it every year! If you've never been to one you should go. They are a lot of fun! I actually got this idea from the oriental trading magazine. You can find it in the Special Holiday Edition 09 on page 17.

Here's a little boo sign I made for the door. I think these are cut on 6 inches. It's bigger than it looks in the photo.

I've been in the mood for a lot of crafting lately! Since I went back to work I haven't had any time or (energy for that matter) to craft! But this past week or two I've been wanting to create and play every day after work and on the weekends. Who needs to clean, cook, cut the grass, do laundry or any of that kind of stuff? :) hehee

All that has flew out the window as Cathy and I anticipate the upcoming holidays. ( I mean about the cooking, cleaning and laundry). Cathy went to scrapbooking retreat this weekend. I can't wait to see her pictures. She even bought us a pair of scrapbooking jammies! Can't wait to see them and her wedding album that she started on. Next time I will go with her. NOOO ifs, ands or buts!!! We have one coming up in January. Also a Halloween Crop at the shack in October. Excited about that one!
