WELCOME printable flag banner (free)!!

I made this welcome banner to hang on our front and back doors for our daughter's birthday party! I thought it would be a fun printable for you for any way you would like!!!! This is a two point WELCOME flag banner. The banner prints on 8.5 x 11 paper (2 flags (letters) per a sheet of paper, you will need four papers) all you have to do is print, cut and hang! I am printing on card stock and hanging with ribbon side slit style! I will post a picture as soon as I get this banner up on party day! If you make one sooner please send me a picture!!!! Please remember that this printable is for personal use only!!! Thank you!!!!

 

Birthday Party Planning!

Birthday craziness is in full effect!!! I have so much to do, all the little details seem to take forever but it is totally worth it!!!! I love detail! Until after our daughters party which is March 2nd, I will mainly be posting free printables here and there. Photoshop stuff is what I have been working on like crazy these past few days!

My little sweetie is having a puppy themed party :) She is obsessed with puppies and it has only gotten worse since my husband gave her one as an early birthday present (sigh). I have tried to make her birthday party gender friendly since she has a lot of little friends that are boys but o my we do love pink!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO POST ALL I HAVE DONE!!!! I am so excited for it all to come together and I am sure I will be posting a peek or two!!! Have a wonderful day, week, month!!!! Enjoy!!

Valentines Heart Felt Garland

I have seen these everywhere! Big ones little ones all different colors! I saw one with great big hearts that I just loved (after I started this one) I have even seen them for sell a few places but why not make your own??!! :)

I used the stiff red felt and split rings (I thought it would be easier then opening and closing jump rings) I used my scrapbook eyelet punch for the holes. That was it!

I started making one with great big hearts and I'm not even punching holes in the felt! The split rings punch right through! Save yourself time and a step :)

Valentines Day Craft! Perfect for Kids!

I have been working on my 14 Valentines day ideas and crafts for this blog and I decided to try this one out today with my daughter. We had so much fun I had to share now, I couldn't wait!!!! (I'm not good at surprises either:) It is very easy, great for kids and I'm sure you already have the supplies! My daughter had a blast she's so proud it's hanging in her room!

All you need is paper, we used red construction paper, paper slicer (or scissors and a ruler) and glue! ***side note I just got a tip to use a stapler!!!

I cut the construction paper long ways into 1" strips, I made 30.

Fold the strips in half

Glue the cut end of the paper down into a V this gives you your heart shape :)

*Put a drop of glue on the inside on the inside of the bottom of the heart and pinch together (I took the picture to soon)

Now glue on the outside of the bottom of your first heart the cut stripes of paper, one on each side. Make sure your fold is pointing down before you glue.

Continue each step until you have your desired length.

Use multiple color combinations, alternate colors, or use similar shades for an ombre effect!

Ok you are going to really have to really wait for the rest :) February 1st will be the next of the 14 Valentine's Day post! You won't want to miss one!

Yo Gabba Gabba!

My daughter was so in love with Yo Gabba that her first Birthday party was appropriately, Yo Gabba to the extreme! Yo Gabba was the only show/DVD that she enjoyed. The signing and dancing would get her going! Since I'm a bit extreme I sent save the dates and invitations for her first birthday (which was not the first party for her :) we already had a half birthday party, a dedication party, a welcome home party, you get the idea). I created the invitations in Photoshop which I just love! Would you all be interested in a free personalized printable giveaway and or a free printable that I created? Here's a peek at the skillzzzzzzz......


Save the Date :)

This was one of her favorite decorations at her party! This wreath was heavy! I pinned balloons onto a straw wreath (plastic on) and then glued scrapbook paper on the letter N, trimmed the paper with a sharp knife painted the edges and the number one red and then glued the 1 on the letter N. I looped ribbon at on the top for the bow. This little welcome decor got a lot of attention, it was a great welcoming to her guest!

 

Her high chair all ready for her first birthday cake smash!

 

Banner over the fire place (no string, just glue dots)

For this large banner I used 12"x12" card stock and ribbon for the letters and to connect.        Above the cake table I

painted the frames with the Yo Gabba coordinating colors and then placed each characters face I created inside, they are still hanging in her play room:)

I punched out polka dots using all my leftover paper for around the walls.

I filled glass containers on each side of the cake with matching candy, wrapped in ribbon and characters.

The utensils were so cute! I wrapped them with a napkin and curling ribbon, the spoon, fork, and knife were different colors in each set. This was a colorful party!

I covered animal cracker boxes with a DJ Lance boom box I printed out. I used wrapping paper for the table cover.

For my followers
if you would like these DJ
Lance boom box animal
cracker covers, let me know!
I will email you the file!!

For the cake stand I wrapped my orange cupcake carrier in wrapping paper. Easy and it looked so cute!

Inside the goodie bags were huge sugar cookies that I hard iced with white frosting. For the kids activity I had edible markers for them to color their cookies with. It was a hit!!! They loved their edible art!

*on the right side of the picture I customized Yo Gabba plates with my daughters picture and a message :)

It's not a party without tissue paper poms!!!
