Stampin' UP! Party and Goodies!

First of all, if you want to be in the drawing for my GIVEAWAY this week, go HERE and just leave a comment and you will be entered into the drawing NEXT Friday! (If this link doesn't work, just scroll down to the last post)

Last night, I asked Beth to come to the house and do a Stampin' UP! Party for me and several of my friends! It was a blast and everyone had lots of fun! We ate, crafted, and just got to know each other better. How much more fun could you get?? We made two cards and one envelope which are seen below. How cute are these?

As Hostess, I got one of every card that was made by Beth as she demonstrated the products. This is the extra card that she made last night (seen below) I also lucked up and received the basket (seen below) made from their new fabric line. Soooooooo cute! I was super excited! Their fabric is soooo cute and trendy!

I did "decorate" just a little bit and I also gave out a thank you gift to everyone who came and spent time out of their lives to come and see all the great Stampin' UP! products. The pics are below. So easy and fun. Directions for the water bottles will be featured on the blog sometime in July. Sorry, you have to wait till then! ;). Have a great day and remember, it is always homemade!

P.S.: Beth has a blog and is listed in my blog list on the right side of my blog page. It is Southern Inkerbelles! She has some great ideas and fun projects all the time! Enjoy!

Superhero Baby Shower Decorations

Well, it finally came and went last Friday night!  My friend's Superhero Baby Shower.  She is having her third boy in March and her husband as well as her boys LOVE Superheros, so, we went with this for the theme of the shower too!  I had a blast making stuff for the shower...she really liked all the decorations!  It was kind of "out of the box" but it went over really well.  Here are a few things that were made by me and others for the shower!  Enjoy!!

Superhero Door Hanging

This was on the front door when everyone came in.  It is simply all paper and ribbon.  The squares are 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 and the symbols were cut out on the Cricut using my SCAL software.  She took this home to hang in the boys' room.

Skyline Board

This sat behind the food on the table.  This picture is hard to see but there is a Spiderman on the left hand side, swinging between the buildings, a Superman in the sky and a Batman on the right hand side on top of the building, facing the "Batman Symbol" in the sky.  The Batman symbol is made of vellum, and was created in my SCAL software.  A couple of girls came up with this idea for the back of the table and my husband and I created it!  It turned out great.  Adding all the superheros was my husband's idea! 

Superhero Lollipops

These were inspired by Pinterest!  If you go on www.pinterest.com and search "superhero lollipops" a similar version comes up for boy valentine ideas.  Their cape had hearts on the back and said something like "you're super".  I designed these in my SCAL software and made them Superman, Batman and Spiderman lollipops instead.  I put them into a little Batman can that I got at Target for one dollar!  I inserted a foam cone shape and stuck the lollipops down into it and covered it with black paper that I ran through my paper shredder!  Everyone took one home for their boys!

Banner

I designed this in my SCAL software as well.  I cut out the Superman diamonds and adhered the letters to them, hung them on black ribbon, and called it done!  So cute.

Diaper Cake/Burp Cloths

A friend had this designed by a girl she works with!  How cool does this look????  The Superman words and symbol are both iron-ons so she could take these home and make something with them for the baby.  She made these very cute superhero and robot burp cloths and table cloth as well!  They turned out great!

The Cake/Cupcakes

The cake turned out so cute, don't you think!!!  The superhero cupcakes were adorable!  We saw the cupcakes on Pinterest...they were just baby faces, but my friend turned them into masked superheros!  How awesome is she???  She did the cake and cupcakes and it all turned out so cute and yummy!!  I never knew she had so much talent!  :-)  We told her that she was going to become the "cake lady" now that everyone knew she could do this! 

The shower was a great success and it was lots of fun creating all these fun decorations!  It is always an adventure when it is homemade!!!
