Super Cool!

Remember way back to last October when I did my sister's baby shower? Well it's being featured on this great blog called Creative Parties & Showers on Thursday April 30th. They have great parties to see so you should definitely check them out!

Twilight party

I know some of you have seen this already on my family blog but I wanted to get it posted here with other parties I've done. So sorry to those who already have viewed this.


First I have to say how much I love Hostess With the Mostess which is where I got the quotes and drink labels from, always a great place for inspiration.

These are the favors I had for everyone, Twilight bites.

These labels are what made me want to throw this party.

Of course I had to have mood lighting.

Quotes from the movie.

And of course the girls.

We all had a great time critiquing the movie and how we thought it could have been better and of course the parts we liked. It was a great excuse to throw a party!

I know it's been over a month since I've posted and I'm sorry. My creative juices have just not been flowing this last month. I could not come up with a card I liked for my Stamp'n Up group. I sat down in my room for almost two hours trying to come up with something and got nothin. I have finally got my birthday cards for the month done and I think it was the seriously cute paper I had to work with that inspired me. I love this paper from Pebbles Inc. They also have a cute polka dot paper that I couldn't help getting as well. We'll see what I can make out of that. Hopefully I have better luck this month with my Stamp'n Up cards.

Ten year anniversary book

For our Ten Year anniversary I made Todd a little trip down memory lane. I titled it "I'll follow you anywhere" I found this great arrow book from BoBunny and paper that also had the arrow theme from American Crafts and combined the two and I think it turned out pretty cute. I did a short snippet about what happened in our lives that year and tried to find a picture of us or something related to that year. I think I had all but two years covered. For those two I just used pictures of the two of us. It was a lot of fun to make I hope he likes it!

March Stamp'n Up cards- theme=birthday

Sometimes it's the paper that makes all the difference. I was with friends the other day trying to make my card come together and it just wasn't working for me. I had the general idea in my head but it wasn't coming out on the paper. I decided I needed to go look for paper that sang to me, and well I found it. Can I say I love American Crafts, paper, ribbon, embellishments, the whole lot of it.

Anyway this is what I came up with. Gotta love Cupcakes!

SPT

This months challenge has been really hard for me. (obviously since I didn't participate last week) I guess it's due that I don't get out much and when I do it's usually with my four kids, thus no hands to take pictures due to trying to control my kids. But as soon as Lelly posted that it would be about 8's bedtime came rushing to my mind. I love 8pm because my kids are all usually asleep by then and the house is quiet. ( ok so my 4mo old is still up but she's so mellow it's worth it). So I LOVE LOVE LOVE 8 o'clock!

March B-day cards

I had the hardest time coming up with an idea for this months cards. I walked up and down the paper isle at Porters trying to decide what to do. I saw some birthday candle paper that inspired me and it just kinda went from there. I have to say these are one of my favorites.
