Monster Fun!!

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend! I was fortunate enough to be able to celebrate with Caleb's family and friends. We made the trek out to Montana on Tuesday night (and only sat in traffic through the first 40 miles). After taking a tour of his hometown, and five more hours of driving (or sleeping, in my case), we made it to our destination. It was probably the most "scenic" trip I've taken through Montana. Luckily, the weather was absolutely gorgeous (50 degrees and sun!) and only hit a patch of snow in the mountains. And to make everything even better, his family is absolutely amazing! I was super nervous about meeting all of them (and feeling like an oddball) but they are the nicest people! (When he told me they were the meanest, I was a little worried. He was just giving me a hard time. Luckily there wasn't a test at the end of the trip! Too many people to remember!)
Anyway, after driving all day Saturday (or again, sleeping in the back of the car), we didn't do much Saturday night and I slowly started getting back into the swing of things on Sunday. Here are the two projects I was working on that I'm so excited to share! These items are for a Little Monster's first birthday. The two items match our "Monsters, Inc." party decorations.

The picture above shows a 30-piece set of centerpieces. There are 6 sets with 5 pieces in each set. Each set includes a "Happy Birthday",  a name/age pieces, and three characters. Each piece is double-sided and the words are pop-dotted. This was definitely a labor of love (and lots of fine!). Since it took me a little longer than I would have liked to finish, I decided to add a bag of confetti in as a "free gift". Here's what that looks like:

I was super excited about how this turned out! I'm glad my original plan worked out better than I expected (and that I took the easy way with the character pieces!!) This bag of confetti contains almost 400 tiny pieces! These two pieces would make the perfect addition to any party, especially with the favor bags from a few weeks ago!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Some Boo-tacular Halloween Decor

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a great day, and everyone is as happy as a camel on hump day! We've been super busy, working on holiday projects, some new and some that were supposed to be done last year. Oops. Anyway, today's post is part of a new Halloween party we are working on. This is the centerpiece we designed:

There are four different pieces to the centerpiece. The haunted house is 9" high and the two little monsters are about 4" tall. (Googly eyes make everything better, unless they are very different in size. Granted, the size difference is in the design, but still.)

The little moon is probably my favorite! It's not really that small, but it's just so darn cute! And the little bat just adds even more cuteness to it!

 Like we mentioned before, it's part of a party line we've been working on. We have a ton more projects to share coming up!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a superb day!

A Sneak Peek!

I'm so excited to share this project today. It's a small part of a bigger project we're going to work on, but this is what we've done so far.

There's no baby on the way for anyone we know, but we were making some shower cards for others and thought the baby Pooh characters would be awesome for a shower. This centerpiece would make any table complete!

Not too much to say about this project, because the pictures say enough of the adorableness here!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Center of Attention!

Ahhh... Friday! Finally! We hope that everyone has had a good week, and we're sure you're all looking forward to the weekend. Today's projects are ones that we're pretty proud of and really excited to show off! Every party needs a little decor, so here they are- some party centerpieces we designed!
The first one is our princess centerpiece. As you can (hopefully) tell, it is Cinderella's coach, complete with two trusty stallions. It is a little hard to tell in the picture, but it is a 3D horse and carriage. You can see the two different horses, drawing the carriage. We absolutely love how this centerpiece came out! (Not to toot our own horn, but...)  There is also a little box (where the little blue tissue paper is), where you can put a little bouquet of flowers or, with some foam and picks, a very happy birthday wish.

And, of course, here is our superhero centerpiece. (OK, before anyone asks, we do not know a "Mason" who is turning 4. Since we used that name and age on the invitation, we decided to use the same information for the centerpiece) This one was super easy to put together. It seems to encompass most of the features of a comic- the city that is being saved, the action bubbles, and the colors. All it needs is someone to come save the day! This one was a lot easier to whip together, but we love how it looks. It is a nice and simple centerpiece to create for a special day.

Our original plan was to make something like this for both of the centerpieces, but then we decided that since they are two very unique party concepts, they needed their own different designs. (Also, we are aware that the television makes for an excellent backdrop...)

Anyway, I think that is all for today. Thank you so much for stopping by and come back tomorrow for another addition of Cupcake Saturday, which is sure to delight the superheros and princesses in all of us!
