Tinkerbell birthday card

Remember the 1st birthday I posted about over the weekend?  Well, here's the card I gave to the birthday girl:

I googled "Tinkerbell coloring pages" and got this cute image.  Inked her up with Copics and dazzling diamonds.  All papers, cardstock, and ribbon is Stampin Up.

Entering this in the following challenges:

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!

Entering this into Decorate To Celebrate's anything goes challenge.

Tinkerbell invite for a baby's first luau

A friend and I have been working on invitations for her baby's first luau (birthday) for about 3 weeks now. The theme is Tinkerbell.  They turned out pretty cute!

You can see why they took 3 weeks to make!  They're HUGE, have embossing, glitter, and some of Tink's parts had to be glued on with tweezers.  We made about 80 of them!  But they came out super adorable! Everything is Stampin Up!

I haven't started on any Christmas stuff... I'm so behind!  Even our Christmas tree is still in it's box!  I've just been too busy with work and these invitations.  I'm going to start on them today so please cross your fingers for me that I'll be done quickly! :)

'Till next time!

Happy Birthday Starla!!! You Could Be Wishing On a Star's blog hop!

Hooray!  Today's THE day!  It's Starla's birthday hop!  Starla's blog is You Could be Wishing on a Star and she is PHENOMENAL.   Not only is she awesome with Copics and papercrafting, she's an awesome friend.  It is people like her that make my life that much better.  She has always had my back since the time I had my first Stampin Up! card swap, to my very own birthday blog hop in August... she is just THE BEST!!!  I am so honored that I was asked to do this hop for her.  :)

So without further ado, here's my card that I mailed Starla to wish her a Happy Birthday/Happy 100 followers/ Happy blogaversary!!! You deserve it girl!

I used the Tinkerbell Cricut cartridge to make this fairy.  I think her name is supposed to be Rosetta, but I made her look like Starla. :) So it's Starla as a fairy! I know it looks like it has no greeting, but I swear it's there:

See?  I used a bottle of embossing powder that I've never used before.  It said "blue pearl" on it so I thought that it was going to be a nice whitish looking blue... NOPE! Totally translucent and hard to see.  Ah well.  I'm sure Starla will see it in person!

And here's a fun picture of my cat ruining my picture of Starla's card.  Right when I clicked the shutter button, he pounced and knocked it right off the stand.  I shouldn't have named him Sabotage!

How about some blog candy?  I call it the fairy prize pack!  You get 24 6x6" sheets of "fairy" paper (aka cute, flowery, and glittered!) and also 4 Gel Writer gel pens (to touch up all those fairy wings!)

To win:

1.  Leave a message in my comments (after wishing Starla either a Happy Birthday/Happy 100 follower/or Happy Blogaversary!).  And don't forget a way to contact you!  

2.  Be a follower of my blog, if you aren't already. 

Now get hoppin' to see the other fabulous fairy projects!  There is also a challenge and LOTS of prizes on Starla's blog, so don't forget to work your way there!  Have fun!
