Bugs and Kisses Birthday Party theme!

Today, I went to a fun birthday party of a 7 year old boy who loves bugs. He's a very sweet kid and I wanted to help make his birthday special. So, I made him bug themed party decor. 

I made little favor bags using the Bag punch board filled them with plastic bugs ( yes, I'm not even coming close to touching a real one. I had my husband make sure there weren't even fake lizards in there). I also added hershey kisses in the bag mixed in.


I made him a bug themed birthday banner and  a cake topper as well. This,by the way, is my favorite pic I've ever taken using my phone. I just love the blue of the door popping out. 


Once the bag was punched out using bag punch, I used the Bugs and Beetles retired stampset, which I borrowed from my sweet upline, Holly Stene. (Holly, thanks a lot for letting me borrow this stampset). Then I used the different color combos to make the bugs pop right out of the bag. 





There were some fun gummy worms and frogs and candied bugs for the kids to munch on. 

and....the banner had bugs cut out and made to look like they were all crawling around on the banner. 


For someone who's not a big fan of bugs, I thought this party was adorable, as long as the bugs were fake!! 

The Beetles and Bugs stampset is retired, however, you could use the gift bag punch board to make your own birthday treat favors. Head on over to my stampin shop to order your gift bag punch board

Organized Card Giver Post #2: Prepare to Succeed!

Hey everyone,  If you’re reading this post, it means you’re somewhat serious about the New Year’s resolution to send cards to people you care about. Do me a favor and give yourself a quick pat on the back from me. Starting is half the battle.  Actually, it’s more important to start, than to succeed. People that start something are usually the ones that end up finishing strong. I tend to procrastinate, just like everyone else. But, just like with anything, if I tell myself, just start….just run for 5 mins, just workout for 5 mins, just clean for a minute, I build momentum to keep going forward. Then when the time is up, its not so bad. You can keep going more… That’s exactly what we’re going to do this week. We’re going to start strong. That’s all you need to do for this week. I know the New Year’s doesn’t start until a month from now, but we want to actually hit the ground running as soon as the new year hits. So, preparation is the key here. For this week#1, and...

Transform Your Crates With A Distressed Look

Happy Monday everyone! Let's start out the week with something to look forward to. I don't know about you, but I always enjoy planning for a project and looking forward to doing something creative. You ever have any projects that you have been planning for a while? This past weekend, Ray and I, worked on a DIY project that we had been talking about for a while. It finally happened, and it was oh so rewarding!  We tranformed our crates and gave it a grey distressed look!  Instructions: This is the before picture! The crates are just your ordinary run of the mill crates, that I got from Michaels. You can get your wood or crate of choice that you would like to distress.  Start with a Dark Walnut Stain ( Minwax Woodstain 2716). Coat with the entire crate/wood with the stain. Use a rag and wipe the excess stain. The longer you keep the stain, the darker the grey stain, and less you keep the stain, the lighter grey it will be.  Take a r...
