Mickey & Minnie B-Day Theme

Happy Thursday Everyone! I am so glad that this week is almost done. Have been so exhausted working 10 hr shifts at work due to the mandatory Over Time. But in the end I know it will be all worth it because I will have that extra money to spend for the Close To My Heart Convention that I will be attending in June. 

Anyway, I know I'm a little late showing you these pics. But the way I see it, Late is Better than Never. Lol. Below is another project I worked on a a few months ago for my kids birthday. My son was turning 1 & my daughter 6. Their birthdays are exactly a week apart so I decided to one party for the both of them & chose the Mickey & Minnie theme. 

A friend of mine created the invites below to look like tickets & every family I mailed the tickets too got one of each.

Below are the Banners & the tops of the goodie bags for the adults that my mom & I made using the Cricut, Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge & the Mickey & Friends Cricut Cartridge.

 

Below are the Minnie & Mickey plates that everyone ate out of. We brought a set of the small & large black plates from Dollar Tree. Then used the hot glue gun to glue the 2 smaller plates underneath the large plate. Then we made Minnie's bow on the Cricut using the Minnie & Friends Cricut Cartridge.  My mom found that idea for the plates on pinterest.

And lastly below are the center pieces that my Mom helped make to decorate the tables with.

Hope you Enjoyed the Pics!

HAPPY NEW YEARS, 2013!!!!

Yeah! Happy Friday, Everyone! I can't believe that we are nearly 2 weeks into the New Year. It feels like just yesterday I was celebrating New Years Day. Anyway, this year is going to be a Busy & Exciting time for me with trying to accomplish my resolutions list. I tried to keep it short & simple, but Fun.

So My 2013 New Years Resolution list is as follows:

1. Stick to my Weight Watchers plan. (Eat Right + Stay Fit = Healthy Lifestyle)
2. Do more outdoor activities with my Family.
3. Looking forward to creating some Cute & Awesome projects using the Wonderful Products that Close to My Heart has to offer. 
4. Enjoying 3 Fun Full packed days in June at the Close to My Heart Convention that will be held here in Orlando at the Disney Coronado Springs Resort.

Have you made any New Years Resolutions? If so Please Share. I would love to hear them.

Before I go I wanted to share with you one of my favorite projects that I worked on a few months back but never had a chance to post here on my blog. I got the idea to make this from my awesome up-line Mandy Leahy who had originally made one. It was super easy to make.

This was a plain wooden picture frame I got from Michaels for a $1.00 & I altered it using the fabulous products from Close To My Heart. The paper flowers I handmade with a little help from my Cricut that cut out the pattern so I can roll them up into a flower. The Cricut cartridge I used was the Art Philosophy which you can purchase from my online store: www.love4creativity.ctmh.com . 

Have a Great Weekend Everyone! Till Next Time....
