After the food, it was time to Go Fishing….Katie and here friends grabbed their buckets and poles. Love the Fishing Game that this mom made…

This is the fishing game she made, the girls had a blast could not get enough of this game. It was so easy to make out cardboard and wrapping paper.

The girls caught different types of fish, jewels and bubbles, They got buckets with their name to put their catch in

Next up was the Bean Bean Bag Toss game, I made this out of ply board (with Hubbys help) and covered it with wrapping paper. Simple but fun game, the kids

The Girls went home with all the prizes they caught fishing and a few other surprises! You have to check out these Marshmallow treats on a stick made by StixNPops on Etsy. They are so adorable and they taste great.

Sweet Strawberry Party

Creative Party Girl — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 07:22:46 +0000

This Sweet Strawberry Birthday Party was originally hosted by Glory over at Glorious Treats. Glory listed her party on the Parties 4 Girls page.

Check it out…..

This weekend I added some sweet details to my niece’s 9th birthday party. I got to be in charge of the things I love best, the sweets and the favors! I set up this little dessert table to display the treats together.

Forever inspired by Amy Atlas and my good friend Sharnel, I always start planning a party with lots of grand ideas. But somewhere along the way, a pesky little thing called a “budget” often gets in my way!

For this party, I used dishes, linens and ribbon that I already had on hand, and kept the entire cost of the sweets and favors (for 8 girls) under $40.00

The mommies got a little favor too, a basket of fresh strawberries (picked by my sister and myself). Even the strawberries got dressed up with ribbon!

Total cost for sweets and favors for a party of 8 = $38.08

Want to see the breakdown of the cost and more pictures? Visit Glory’s original party post over at Glorious Treats.

Polkadot Baby Shower

Creative Party Girl — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 07:12:17 +0000

This red white and black polkadot baby shower was originally hosted by Simply Southern Events.

Ok, how stinkin’ cute is the red and white polkadot diaper that wraps around the invitation? So clever! And those paper baby shoes are the perfect compliment.

Enjoy this baby shower….

My friends and I finally got to host a baby shower this weekend for our very pregnant friend Brooke. I have known Brooke since the 8th grade and I was just thrilled when I found out she was having a little girl. I feel so blessed to have her in my life and can’t wait to see her embark on the journey of motherhood.

My wonderful friends gave me the honor of being in-charge of the invitations and shower decor. They know how much I love coming up with party decor. Seriously, I go a little nuts sometimes. Of course I thought of using the color pink, but how boring is that. Since Brooke has always been a very bubbly and outgoing gal, I decided against using pink and went with red, black and white polka dots; and boy I am so glad I did! All and all, I think the decor turned out really cute and different. The pictures are below and I hope you enjoy! By the way, my friend Kelli took the pictures and I think she is talented!

Thank you for your understanding!!

I actually saw the words of encouragement cards on the baby gardner website and decided to make my own version. I think they turned out pretty cute!

Ice Cream Parties

Creative Party Girl — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 06:29:43 +0000

Summer is here and it’s the perfect time for an Ice Cream Party!

This first Ice Cream Party was originally hosted by Ramblings from the Sunshine State.

I LOVE the ice cream cone t-shirt! It is fantabulously cute!

Enjoy this yummy ice cream party….

After a week of completely stressing out about this party (that’s what I get for waiting till the last minute, right?), the big party day finally arrived! Here again are the invitations, courtesy of Dimpleprints.

I knew I wanted to make an ice cream shop sign. Pleas excuse my lettering, I’m no painter! I’m sure the fact that it was probably about 3:00 am when I did this, didn’t help.

When I made Morgan’s cake topper, she told me she wanted one, too. I did this dress different and I think she turned out cute. Thankfully, when I made Morgan’s, I had painted more than one doll. Otherwise, she might not have turned out so well! The ice cream cone is a $1.00 eraser from Joanns.

I didnt want to spend a ton of money on party favors (I never do!) and I hate buying junky cheap stuff that will just get thrown away. So I decided on making ice cream cone crayons. It was my first time doing them this way, and they turned out great!

I also whipped up a bright, colorful bunting. I love the colors on this. These were the pre-packaged fat quarters from Joanns when they were on sale for $.99 each. I used these fabrics again both in the cake topper dress and a t-shirt I made for her to wear.

Since it’s pretty warm out and I didnt want the ice cream to turn into a soupy mess, I made up this little menu sign so the kids could choose their flavors. I’m sure I could have made this a lot cuter, but this wasnt done until the day of the party!

Finally, the main event! The sundae bar! TONS of toppings here… bananas, cake & sugar cones, sprinkles of all kinds, crushed Oreos, peanuts, strawberry sauce, marshmallows, chocolate, caramel & strawberry syrup, gummi bears, M&Ms and cherries. Even some of that stuff that hardens into a shell when you put it on the ice cream.

Check out this hungry herd!

Before I forget (I almost did!), here is the t-shirt I made her. I found this t-shirt on clearance in the toddler section of Walmart (it’s a 5T!) for $2.50. Six scoops for 6 years!

And for some of the other details. I whipped up some more candy covered marshmallows.

And pretzels.

Cupcakes, too!

And you can’t forget the cake! The cones are really just decorative. They are cut in half and I put a few marshmallows in just to use less frosting (I was getting low!).

Check out the inside!

Make a wish, big girl!

Finally, a little after party fun in the bounce house.

I think it turned out pretty good, and I’m glad it’s over! No more parties until September! At least Blake already knows what he wants. I can keep an eye out for stuff during the coming months. His party will be football themed. I just don’t know if he wants a generic football theme, or to use Cowboy colors, since that’s the team he plays for.

Anyway, hopefully now I can get some household projects done. Have a good one!

More Ice Cream Party Ideas:

Frost Me Blog has put together some fun ideas from around the web for the perfect Ice Cream Party. Check out what she shared on her blog..

I love the idea of an ice cream bar at any party – great for work parties, too! Or you could do a whole party theme around ice cream! Here are a few dabs of frosting for your next party!

How insanely fun does this ice cream themed tablescape look?!? One of the best ideas is the way they made the tablecloth look like ice cream drips! You could even do this with a cheap vinyl table cloth! And why not glue on some “jimmies” too! Source

You could do this popsicle display on a smaller scale at your next party – use tiered spice racks with ice underneath and create the same look! …. one of each please! Source found via imprintables blog

Every ice cream bar deserves a great assortment of toppings! These divided DIY paper containers will save you from finding a million dishes to serve it all up in! Source and tutorial

You could add these ice cream trucks as decorations or put an invite inside, or use as favor boxes… or all three! lol DIY printables… Source

Use sprinkles in non-conventional ways to decorate! Use glue on card stock, kraft paper or empty toilet rolls, roll in sprinkles and let dry. Add a ribbon and va-la! Use them around containers as a fun touch too! You could use sprinkles at the bottom of a vase or box (like you would rice or beans) to help cones stand up straight. Source and tutorial found via gordongossip blog

You KNOW I love a fun cupcake! These would be a little sweat equity, but how dang cute!?! Source

…. I am off to find the mint chocolate chip ice cream!!!

Ballerina Birthday Party

Creative Party Girl — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:17:08 +0000

This Ballerina Birthday party was originally hosted by Glorious Treats.

Ok, I know it’s not winter and right now there are now snowflakes, but I just thought this party was so pretty and sweet and I just had to pass it on to ya’ll!

Enjoy the party…..

Today’s post may be a bit out of line with the season, since it’s a Snowflake Ballerina Party, and here in California we’re (almost) in spring. I put together this special party for a friend this past December, and I dont’ think I can wait until December rolls around again to share this with you!

This past November a good friend of mine mentioned she was having trouble getting motivated to plan a party for her (soon to be) 4 year old daughter. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to plan a party, I think she just needed a little inspiration. Of course, all it took was the mention of a “party” and I was in full party planning mode! I suggested several different themes to get my friend thinking, and after a little consulting with the birthday girl, the theme was set… a ballerina party with a winter twist… a Snowflake Ballerina Party!

With the theme set, we then settled on the color scheme… pale pink, ice blue and white. My mind began swirling with visions of snowflakes and ballerinas in a winter wonderland…

Since there are no invitations on the market with both a snowflake, and a ballerina theme, my first step was to create invitations. So off to my scrapbooking table, I gathered paper, glitter and my Cricut and got to work. Below are the final invitations.

With the invitations complete, I began to dream about how I could create a magical centerpiece for the room that would really set the mood. I envisioned ribbon and snowflakes and ballerinas all hanging from the heavens (or at least from the ceiling). I enlisted my hubby to make me a lightweight wooden frame, that I would then be able to hang to the ceiling with Command Adhesive hooks. The night before the party I spent 2 hours climbing up and down a ladder hanging ribbon, snowflakes and ballerinas onto the frame. In the end, I was so happy with the result. It was just what I had envisioned!

Details- I used a variety of widths and types of ribbon (all from my personal collection- originally from several various stores… I’m a bit of a ribbon addict!). The snowflakes are all ornaments I bought at Dollar Tree. The ballerina silhouettes are made from cardstock that I cut using my Cricut machine.

The party was held (mostly) in the dinning room. This is the way it looked when the guests arrived. Notice the pale pink skirts tied around each chair. These were custom made for the party (by the mother of one of the little guests), and acted both as decorations and favors.

The first party activity was for the girls to decorate snowflake cookies (that I had made ahead of time). I had prepared pale pink, blue and white icing, as well as a pretty selection of sprinkles for the girls to decorate their cookies with. Each girl took home her plate of cookies (minus the one or two they nibbled on while decorating).

I also made some decorated snowflake cookies for the moms to snack on.

(I’ve shared the cookie recipe I use HERE, and I have a post HERE on basic cookie decorating)

After the girls decorated cookies, we sang to the birthday girl, and served cupcakes while presents were opened. The cupcakes were chocolate cake with vanilla cream cheese frosting (recipe HERE) and handmade cupcake toppers. The idea for the toppers came from HERE, and the template I used for the bodice is HERE. The original ideas use tulle or tissue, but I had some light blue snowflake ribbon that I thought would be perfect. They took a ton of time to make, but I think they turned out pretty special. I added a ‘B’ on one for the birthday girl (Bailey).

The grand finale of the party was a private ballet lesson (given by the birthday girl’s regular ballet teacher). The girls really enjoyed this, and they were so adorable to watch!

Here are the birthday girl (on the left) and my daughter (on the right) dancing their hearts out! So sweet!

All in all it was a pretty magical afternoon, and hopefully created some very special memories for little Miss Bailey.
