She's Going to Pop Baby Shower

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to help throw a baby shower for Jacalyn, a good friend of mine. I was on decoration and invitation duty! Here's some pics of how I did the shower!

These are the invites that I made with my Stampin' Up digital scrapbooking program....I also took the pictures....

We decided to go for the "She's going to Pop" theme....so all foods were basically candy that involved the word POP! We also had pop corn of course and popcorn chicken and jalapeno poppers! Some of the vases were from the dollar store, and some I already had...I just added some cute ribbon! We found the cute buckets and bags at Hobby Lobby....I did the vinyl lettering on the buckets!

Here's the banner that I made with my cricut...I love making banners!!!

There were some maternity pictures to share....frames from Hobby Lobby

I made these little decorations using dollar store frames, vinyl, A Child's Year cricut cartridge, and some scrapbook paper.

I covered the water bottles with scrapbook paper for extra cuteness! Again...Hobby Lobby buckets!

Mmm...blow pops and lollipops!

Can we say sugar high!

I made tissue poms for the party! You can see how to make them here! She used 8 pieces, I used 12....and cute ribbon! They literally only take 5-10 minutes a piece! How cute are these?!

more tissue poms!

A girl we went to high school with, Krysten made these AMAZING cake pops....they were too cute to eat...but they were AMAZING in taste!

We also had jones soda pop...pink and green! Oh and there's Otter Pops as well! There were also Popsicles in a cooler!

Hope this gave you a cute baby shower idea=) I've linked up to Today's Creative Blog!

Baby Shower Decorations

February was definitely the month of baby showers! I helped throw 2, plus had my own, and had 1 I couldn't make it to! I just wanted to share some of the decorations from one I helped throw and from the one that was thrown for me!

We kept it real simple with the decorations. I made the plaque that reads "boy, n: a noise with dirt on it" and the picture frame with the ultrasound picture on it. My friend Celeste had it at her house...she had the brilliant idea to use a curtain for the table cloth! It worked great!!

This frame was really simple. I just bought a 5x7 wood frame. I kept it brown, because it was going to match the nursery. I took the glass out, and replaced it with a 5x7 piece of metal. It was that easy! It was even easier because Lowe's sells pre cut 5x7 pieces of metal for .51 cents each! I know it's cheaper to buy a huge sheet and cut sizes I need, but I was going for convenience!!! I then used my mylar button maker to make the 2 magnets holding the pic! And for extra cuteness, I added some vinyl!

This was the banner I made. Very simple! I did 5.5 inch circles on my cricut, cut out letters on my cricut, punched holes and used ribbons and toile to connect it all together!

These are the lovely ladies who helped throw my shower =) From left to right: Kim, My Mom, Jacalyn, Me (I didn't help, just wanted to be in the pic, and so did Landon!), Tiffany, and Celeste...this was once again thrown at Celeste's house =)

My friend Jacalyn made this cute plaque, I cut the vinyl, but she did the rest! I love the idea of adding the flower for an embellishment! She also made this cute flowery ball out of toile and styrofoam! Super cute!

My friend Jacalyn also assembled this cute Sugar & Spice block! Once again...I love the little flower!!!

These were ordered off of an etsy site...I would post which one, if I knew! Aren't these cute! I love that they are personalized!

You can barely see it, but the banner is hanging on the fireplace! My friend Jacalyn made that too! It's so cute...I wish I had a better picture!!!

Thanks ladies for throwing me a shower for Little Hannity! We are anxiously awaiting her arrival!!!

Baby Shower

I threw a baby shower this weekend for a very good friend of mine! The colors: Teal and Brown! I had so many ideas of things I wanted to make! Unfortunately I didn't get to do everything I wanted to, but I did do most of it! The thing I was most excited about was this banner! I used all Stampin' Up! paper, my cricut, double sided tape, toile, and ribbon! That's it!

This is the banner!

With it also being the holiday season, I decided to make peppermint bark for the take-home treat! All you do is crush candy canes, stir them into melted white chocolate, lay flat on wax paper, refrigerate until hard, and break into pieces! What a yummy snack! I wanted to stick to the teal and brown, so I used teal paper with brown polka dots to cover the treat baggies. Then I stapled the baggies shut! 

I made these for the cupcake toppers! The cupcakes where chocolate with chocolate frosting of course! Yummy! 

Since I have a vinyl machine, I decided to do different vinyl projects for game prizes!

This is prize #1

Prize #2

Prize #3

Prize #4

Prize #5

Prize #6

Prize #7

Since every good place to hang a banner is being occupied by garland for Christmas....I used the TV haha!

I also made these plaques. They were used as a shower decoration, plus they are a nursery decoration.

I found this cute cupcake stand at Williams-Sonoma! I love it!

MORE CUPCAKES!
