Spring Mesh Wreath

This is my first attempt at one of the mesh wreaths that are really popular right now.  I prefer the bunchy looking wreaths rather than the cone mesh ones.  I would try to explain how I made it but honestly I just googled it and found tons of tutorials and mainly just played around until I got it to look the way I wanted.

Chicago Bears Football Themed Baby Shower for my BFF

I made the invites to look like a stadium ticket.  On the back I put address label stickers that I printed and had listed where she was registered and to whom to RSVP. 

The baby was due on 10-3-13.  That is where the section, row and seat numbers come in.  Also, I don't know much about NFL football but I made the garland with the number 13 just because that is the year of the baby's birth.  

Game Table Top

My grandfather made a table top for a poker table that belonged to my mom.  This was so it could be used for other games as well as just a table for eating, homework, whatever.  My sister now has that table and my nephew uses it in his basement hangout area.  The plain boring table top needed a cool new look.  

The center was painted to look like the Vegas sign....with a twist.  Their last name is Shelton. 

The lucky cards at the top were cut out of cardstock using my Silhouette machine.  The playing card signs at the bottom are vinyl cutouts also made using the Silhouette machine.

2013 Birthday Invites

The girls had a joint party for their birthdays this year at gatti-town.  I made the invitations using ideas and images I found online.

"Stache" Savings Jar

First of all, ignore how awful my crafting table looks....but its a crafting table, so it serves its purpose.

This is a change/money saving or "stache" jar.  We ended up buying the Ball-type jar from a craft store.  The Ball and Mason jars I already owned have raised designs or lettering in the jar which would prevent the vinyl from lying flat and looking pretty.

I covered the top with a piece of scrapbook paper that looks like material that has been stitched.

I cut the pink vinyl with my silhouette machine.  The idea was not ours.  My niece, who I made this for, saw it on pinterest.

Puppy Paw Cupcakes

I went to a Canvases & Cocktails Party - the theme was animals so I brought Puppy Paw Cupcakes.
