Happy Birthday

Happy Monday! Last Monday of July and we are heading into the school year. Hope you all enjoy the last part of your summer!  This birthday card was made for my nephew. It's not really boyish but it's bright and happy. I keep making him dinosaur cards and keep forgetting he is not a little boy anymore. (smiling) 




Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Crafting.

Paw Patrol is on a roll!

Happy Monday! My grandson turned 3 years old and had a paw patrol party. I made the punch board with the theme of paw patrol. The kids had fun punching and finding candy inside each cup. 
I printed the cartoon and attached it 
to the card. Added the balloons, #3 and HB. 




Using die cuts, I made the Happy Birthday
Joaquin and added the Paw Patrol napkins
to each cup. 



Have a great week!

Lots of celebrations

Happy Monday! It's been awhile since I've posted anything. It's been a very busy June! Today I'm sharing a few things I was busy doing. I hope you had a fun and safe 4th of July!

My daughter made this birthday bucket
for my son's 40th birthday. 

I gave my son 40 gifts for his 40th birthday.
I die cut numbers and circles and added them 
to boxes, bags and the gifts. It was so much
fun for him to open each gift. 

This is my famous picture frame I change for each occasion.
 I decorated it for my niece's high school graduation
 party. She took lots of pictures with it. She loved
it so much she took it home with her....LOL



My other niece lives in AZ. She is having
a baby so I volunteered my house for her
baby shower. Her baby theme is butterflies
with pinks and purples. She is having a girl 

I decided I wanted butterflies hanging from
the ceiling as decorations. 


The shower was a drive by because at the
time the invites went out we were still under
a covid-19 restriction. It was lifted by the time
we had the shower but we just decided to leave
it as a drive by. We invited grandmas and aunts
 inside the house for a light lunch. 

My niece and her boyfriend.

We ordered edible butterflies to add to the cake. 

Thank goodness for my neighbor Heather. 
She helped me cut out lots and lots of
butterflies for all the decertations. 
Thank you Heather!!!


My sister saw this cool idea to use plastic
table cloths to make streamers. I bought
table cloths at the dollar store. You leave the 
table cloths folded as they are and cut them
into strips. you then unfold the strips and tie
them onto the string. This is great for a photo
booth or background. We hung them on the 
umbrella for the drive by. 

I decorated these small bags for the 
goodie bags that were given out as 
guest drove by. 


It was nice to be together again with my family. Lots of celebrations in June including Father's day. 
I hope you have a blessed July month!! Thank you for coming back to check out what I've been up to.

Graduation Nurse Practitioner

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I've had a busy few weeks. My sister graduated from UNM as a Nurse Practitioner, my son turned 40 and I had a niece graduate from High School. We had a family BBQ for my sister so I made some fun stuff to help celebrate her. 
I used pretzel bags for the utensils. 
I printed the saying on the computer. 

I 
This is one of the signs I made. 

These were so much fun to make. I 
borrowed die cuts from Heather and
made labels for candy jars.



ABC bakery makes my sister's favorite cakes.
They are a great bakery but they are pricey. My 
daughter-in-law Rena, makes cakes too. So I ordered a
plain white cake from ABC and had Rena make 
the decorations. She did a wonderful job! 
It was a $100.00 savings. 

This is a wooden frame I reuse for parties by painting
and gluing items associated with the party theme. 
These are my sisters. Lisa is the last one on the right 
and I'm next to her in the back.

The dessert table.

My daughter and I made the heart beat cookies.

My niece crocheted the NP doll to look
like my sister Lisa. She does amazing work!
I made the thermometers out of pretzels. 

Apple juice. Only the kids wanted
to drink out of these cups...(LOL)

Don't you just love the Stethoscope? 

Sorry for the log posting. Have a wonderful week!!

Roar means I LOVE YOU!

Happy  Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I'm sharing some dinosaur cards I made for some of my nephew's birthdays. 
Not sure where the dinosaur paper is from. It was
in my single sheets of paper but it's perfect for these cards. 

The die cut & stamp set is from Rubbernecker.

Have a roaring great week!
