Landon's 1st Birthday Party!

Sooooo.....I just realized that I never posted Landon's first birthday party on my craft blog....and well...he's 2 1/2! My crafting and decor skills have definitely improved since then, but I thought I'd post it anyways =)

I made him this 1st birthday shirt using fabric, heat & bond, fray check, my cricut, and a white tee shirt.
Here's the birthday boy on the way to the party.
We had his party at the park...here's the banner I made using my cricut and Stampin' Up paper.
Banner close up...
We decorated cupcakes! I recovered the frosting containers with scrapbook paper.
Here's some of the cupcakes, and sprinkles! We had chocolate, strawberry and vanilla cupcakes.
These were the party favors I made up...
The bags had a notepad, crayons and bubbles.
Family shot....I look gross...
The drooly birthday boy...
Some of the gifts and his cupcake cake.
Mmm....I have to admit...I was sad that he wasn't that aggressive with the cake!
That is as messy as he got!
Hope ya enjoyed =)

Cheer Megaphones

A few months ago I was asked by a friend, who is a cheer coach to make the vinyl for the captain's megaphones! Since I was a cheerleader well over half of my life, I was of course excited to do these! I think they turned out great!

Ignore my sons foot...he thought these were so cool, it was hard to keep him away for the pic!
Looking at these really makes me miss being a cheerleader!!!!!!! Maybe my sweet little girl Hannity will want to be one! I hope so!!!! And maybe one day she could be a BYU cheerleader.... that would make mommy and daddy very happy!!!

* Yes I labeled as Sports because Cheerleading is a sport to me!!!

Finally! Halloween Decor!

Ok....so I have been ready for Halloween since the beginning of September...but I have been so busy with doing my Halloween craft night, and Super Saturday's for different wards, along with the one I am throwing, that I am just now getting my pics up! Here's what I've done!

Countdown blocks....notice how the countdown was on day 40...haha! We also made these for my Halloween craft night!
I made this Enchanting Spells tile years ago, back when I got my vinyl machine!
Trick or Treat sign... we made these for my Halloween craft night as well!
I covered pic frames in spiderwebs and spiders!
Here is my holiday decor shelf!
These topiaries are from the 123 topiaries I made a while back...I just took out the number 2!
I made this using a plate from dollar tree!
I designed some Halloween subway art!
Here are my seasonal blocks all done up for Halloween!
I got this idea from House of Smiths...I LOVE that blog!!!
The crow, moss, and skulls are from dollar tree! The bird cage held wedding cards from our wedding, and the "boo" I got from the dollar section at JoAnns last year!
My dining room... I either made or purchased everything seen at Thai Pan or The Gatehouse in past visits to Utah!
This glass block says trick or treat...it's hard to see in the pic!
And my favorite of all....the wreaths with ribbons and postcards! Purchased at The Gatehouse...oh how I wish there was one here in Vegas!
Hope ya like & sorry it's sooo late! If you'd like to purchase any of the vinyl contact me at laniercreations@gmail.com!

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!

Monogram and Photo Wall

A while back I saw this idea on a craft blog and I can't remember what blog....I loved it so much I had to do it in my home! Sadly I don't have near as much wall space as I'd like for this...but oh well! All you do is buy lots of letters at Hobby Lobby, JoAnns, Michaels....anywhere you see them....paint them or cover them with scrapbook paper and mod podge...and hang it on your wall! Throw in pictures too! Note: be sure to lay out your design before you place it on the wall to be sure you have enough space....plus it makes the hanging process much easier...as you can see I still need to add a few more pics...I've got gaps!
Linking up to Today's Creative Blog! Stay tuned for pics on a "She's going to pop" baby shower I threw last weekend!

Dollar Store Frames

I love buying frames! Especially from the dollar store! Here are a few crafts I created using 8.5x11 frames!

I made these "EAT" frames for my kitchen...this pic isn't quite the greatest...it was taken from a weird angle.
I had craft night at my house this week and we made menu boards....the girls had the option of burlap or scrapbook paper for a background. One girl chose scrapbook paper so she could change it out for different seasons and holidays...there's a good idea! The girls also had the option to use magnets or ribbon for hanging purposes!
We also made these welcome signs at craft night....mine is hanging right when you walk into our home...I hate shoes on the carpet...especially with little ones moving around!
I made this "EAT" sign for my friends new house...for the background I used fabric...cute huh?!
