Bubble Gum Party Favors

I made some bubble gum party favors for a very special gal!  I needed a lot and they needed to be quick with an orange and brown theme.  I came across Angi Judas Bunny Treat Holder and used the same concept, but had to adjust the sizes to fit the bubble gum.  Here's what I came up with:

Used SU framelit die and scored the card stock to fit some Bubble Yum.  I just used a circle punch with some retired SU paper and computer generated sentiment punched out with the modern label punch.  Some retired orange ribbon tops it off.  

Mmmm, BUBBLE YUM!  LOL.

Baby Shower!

I helped throw a shower for one of my old co-workers and dear friend.  It was a surprise shower; she had no idea!  We played the clothespin game and when she walked in, she just kinda looked around and was like "why are you wearing pins?  and why is your name Onesie?"  LOL!

We always joke that the program I used to work in was the worst job in the world. LOL.  I thought it was appropriate to give out mini mixers as a prize!  

This tag is so funny with it!  It's an old SU hostess set.

Some of us don't drink so I figured some bath prizes were good too.  These sets are a shower gel and a lip gloss from Philosophy at Sephora.

This stamp is from the same SU hostess stamp set.

Bath and Body Works hand soap made a good prize too.  :)

Here are the shower favors.  The local exchange had a clearance on these Tic Tacs.  I think they were only 13 cents each or something ridiculous like that.  There are tons of tutorials online on how to cover the big pack Tic Tacs.  I thought I had to make a template myself until I came across Melissa's site.  What a lifesaver!!!

Here's the cake!  Got it from the commissary.  It was SO GOOD.  And only $18!

All of us went through hell and back together.  Love these chicks (and little man!)

I also gave out "booby prizes."  Losers of the games got a gift too!  A bag of prunes, a can of Spam, a pack of ramen noodles, tapioca pudding, and the leftover clothespins.  LOL!

Tinkerbell Party

The reason why I haven't had much time as of late is because I was working on a 1st birthday for my friend's daughter.  1st birthdays are a HUGE deal here in Hawaii,  this one had 250 guests.  I already posted the invitations on THIS post.  Here's the rest of it!

The money box at the reception table.  Took 2 boxes, wrapped them in wrapping paper, hot glued them, and added a pinata to the top for decoration.  Decorated the whole thing with curling ribbon, tulle, and butterflies! (Lol, that's my husband drinking punch in the back!)

The candy buffet: Guests could make their own favors by filling up at the candy buffet!  Made the tent cards with my laser printer and SU! cardstock.

The whole table (minus the cake pops!)

The cake pops came a little later from a 3rd party company.  So cute!

Here's a large vase of mixed candy.  Decorated with a 12" Tink and a flower.  Used Tinkerbell and Friends and Accent Essentials cartridges.

Each candy had a different fairy name.  These Red Vines are mystic wands!  Printed them and punched them out with SU! punches.

Butter mints = magic candy!

M&Ms are rainbow pebbles!

Rainbow Orb lollipops.  I stuck a portion of a cut up fun noodle in a bowl, added shred, and stuck the sticks in so they could be upright.

Bags and seals were left out for the guests to make their own!

The centerpieces.  Mom of the birthday girl found a Tink money bank, so we hot glued some plastic fern to the bottom, used that good old fun noodle to stick all the lollipops and skewers into place.  Used Cricut Accent Essentials for the flower and SU! butterfly punch.

The bounce house (I didn't make this! LOL!)

Her cake!  The catering company provided the cake.  Isn't she so cute surrounded by all the faeries? :)

And the hubs and I were the first to try out the photo booth.  What a great idea for a kid's party!

I had so much fun working on this party (and only 2 months to do it in!).  Taeya is one sweet little girl and her Mom is a really good friend of mine.  To many more!
