Turkey cork craft!

Take corks and wrap them with wire and make legs. Than glue feathers on but and make body out of construction paper. Got this idea from magazine. They use wooden spools.

Grandparents Day Cards

Cute baby footprints can be used for all sorts of cards! I should have made lots more stamps before my baby's feet grew too big! Her stamp looks much bigger now!

Congrats class of 2010

Party centerpieces

These centerpieces we made for my daughter's 1st Birthday Party! Carnival/circus themed!

Riley's 1st Birthday Carnival!

Food, games and Prizes! We threw this party outdoors. We had several party games. Made cute ticket booth for photo ops. And Had balloons tied all over yard.

Photo Booth for guests to be photographed inside with clown attire we provided.

Yes we got a local clown to perform at the party.

I took cake decorating classes and learned how to make awesome clowns to go on cake!

Another photo op from oriental trading co.

Cupcakes I made, the wrappers are from oriental trading co, and the clown heads are from michaels or joanns.

Photo Booth

The greatest idea ever!
Stole the idea from online elsewhere for carnival/circus parties!
Took a large cardboard box and painted circles on the outside and then got some polka dot wrapping paper for the inside liner.
Placed a little stool in the bottom and took pics!! It was great fun for guests. We provided clown noses, a hat, wig, and bow tie.

Home-made Carnival Ticket BOOTH

Took a large nutcracker cardboard box and painted it with Red stripes.
Used painters tape to get straight lines.

The painter's tape did pull up some of the white on the box so we need to touch up with white.

Used black tape to border the opening which had rough edges from cutting out hole.

Make a curly/ wavy top. Paint tickets!! Still need to add some finishing touches and touch up white paint but looks good. Of course we got this idea from the internet!

Circus/Carnival Ticket Invite

I got the idea for this invite online and used Microsoft word to create the ticket out line, then used a variety of circus/carnival type fonts to fill it in with all the lingo I found online as well. I printed them out 2 per page and cut them out, and trimmed off corners. I think it turned out wonderfully! Bought some stamps to stamp the front.
