Happy Birthday Tommy Cowboy/Western Them

I love to throw a surprise birthday party and why not a Cowboy/Western theme...with a mechanical bull.  It's a good thing my husband loves a party and a mechanical bull.  We had a lot of fun with about 80 family and friends.

Diaper Cake for Angela

Yesterday was Angela's baby shower, her and her husband are waiting to know the sex until the baby is born...I knew she was doing a neutral baby room in yellow, green and brown.  This cake was inspired by some of the pictures she sent me on her room decor.

Cowboy Theme Baby Shower for a Boy

My cousin was hosting a baby shower for her friends soon to be baby boy and asked if I could make some table decorations and a banner. I used the Cricut cartridge Country Life, and tried to make it a little western style.

I already owned 2 pairs of cowboy boots, so it made the project even easier. I even found a metal tin at Michaels and a cheap cowboy hat at Wal-Mart. I filled the boots 1/4 full or rocks to help the stability since they would be outside, and I did not want them to blow over.  Then I added a piece of florist foam to the bottom, and cut my wooden dowels for different lengths.  I went to Michaels and found different things that looked like wheat and items related to a western theme to add a little character and some flowers.  Went to Wal-Mart and found bandanas for $1.  Just played around with all the items until I loved the centerpieces.  Very easy to make and I feel added a lot of fun!

Happy 30th Birthday Jamie!

Jamie's family threw her a surprise 30th birthday party with a Mardi Gras theme.  If I have time to make a card or make a gift I love to have my colors match the theme of the party.  So of course it inspired me to use gold, purple and green glitter paper to hand make a 30th Birthday Card.  Unfortunately my computer is on it's last leg, and kept booting me out of Cricut Craft room ( I would of done a Happy Birthday on the front too).

Here are the different size owls made from Sugar and Spice and cut out on the Cricut.  These were used as a cake topper for the baby shower.  Unfortunately I did not get a picture of them on the cake.

Pink and lime green seem to be a baby shower favorite lately.  Here is a diaper cake my mom and I made for Jennifer baby shower.

Baby Kaelyn Banner Using Cricut

I just received  Letter Envy Font, my new cartridge from being a Cricut Circle member and wanted to try it out.  I was asked to make a banner for our friends baby shower and decided to use the Crest cutout.  

I found silver glitter chipboard at Marshall's for only $1.99 (score)!!!

Owl Invitations for Baby Shower

I was asked to make 50 owl invitations for an upcoming baby shower.  She is a family friend and loved my SIL onesie invites and asked for something very similar.  Unfortunately for me when I upgraded to my Cricut Expression 2, I lost all my old files that were saved.
