Frozen Birthday Party

We did it!! We completed my oldests Frozen 4th Birthday Party yesterday and it was a complete success!!!
The invitation.. Elsa was colored with copics by yours truely.
Her birthday card.. again Anna and Elsa were colored with copics by yours truely.
The door sign.. Cut with my cricut and various cartridges including Dreams Come True (I think is what its called) and I used some of thier stickers to put the characters on.
The pinata we bought, I thought about making one and then thought I was crazy!! The party favors were little frozen coloring sets I bought at Michaels for $1 a peice and then put snowflakes with each childs name on it. The girls colored and painted and decorated snowflakes cut on the cricut and then we sticky tacked them all over the house.
The snowflakes and letters we cut on the cricut. I cut Anna and Elsa from wrapping paper. We used a lot of stickles and bo bunny liquid pearl. The bakers twine is CTMH and I bought the cloths pins and Micheals and then put stickles them.


I cut the snowflakes and 4 on the cricut. I used cookie sticks and wrapped them in snowflake washi tape. I grabbed a vase from the cupboard and wrapped it in snowflake washi tape too. The ribbon I had at home and I bought the rocks at the dollar store.
We played "Pin the nose on Olaf" with an Olaf my girlfriend and I created with different shapes in the cricut craftroom. I loved his own personal flurry!!! We cut noses for each child with thier name on it.

We built snowmen out of different sized marshmellows, pretzel sticks, currents and papaya peices!! The kids promptly ate after creating! LOL!


I bought the different sized bowls at the dollar store. We also bought plates, napkins, cups, cupcake wrappers and sticks. I used different snowflake dishes that we have from christmas to put food out in.
For food we had: Snowflake squares, ombre rice krispy squares, chips, pretzel sticks, bits and bites mix, trail mix, meat, cheese, crackers, meat balls, and popcorn.
I'm sorry this is upside down!! I'm not sure how to change that...  It took me 4 tries to get it right!!! This is actually the Ariel cake pan. I cut a peice off and used the Ariel design as more of a guide line. I iced in my own lines for the hair and dress. And here we have it! An Elsa cake!!
And last but not least the Frozen canvas I made for her wall in her room. A lady off one of my FB groups was kind enough to cut and mail me up the "Sisters Forever" off the Frozen digital cartridge. I used a napkin to put Anna and Elsa on and then glazed over them. Some of the snowflakes are put on using a stencil and modeling paste. I used some of the snowflake washi tape on the edges. I also put heat duct tape through my cuttlebug with a snowflake embossing folder and then applied it around the edges. There are some snowflake buttons (left over from the Frozen pjs) scattered around as well and then covered with the bo bunny liquid pearl. I also cut some snowflakes on the cricut. There is a ton of stickles on there too!!! 

And there you have our frozen birthday party!! My hand still hurts from all the stickles, liquid glass and icing squeezing but I think my little one loved each and every little peice!!!!


Now, to make the Frozen layouts for each scrapbook.... Oh and get started on DIY Bubble Guppies Birthday Party... If you have any ideas please share!!!!!

Talk to you soon!!!

What a productive day!!

OK!! We did not get any of the chores done at all... Oops...
But we got a baby blanket made:
And we got this made... It's going to be stapled to the top of a ziploc bag filled with marshmellows and pretzel sticks and something for buttons as an activity at my oldests upcoming Frozen birthday party. I know its not exactly Olaf but it works right??
Its all jsut generic paper out of my stash and clear Stickles as the snow. I used a $.99 Christmas Card-Let it Snow cut from cricut and the Chalkboard Fonts cartridge as well.
I'm entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog Challenge #242 so we will see how that goes.. LOL

And this little card is for the baby shower next weekend. I thought it was pretty cute. 
This was a one time buy paper pack from CTMH, the pink dots are also theirs. I used Thistle ink, and the CTMH Art Philosophy cricut cartridge.
I made it for the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #282 and again we will see where that goes...lol

And then I started on the exploding box for the baby name reveal but I didn't get that done just yet... stay posted!!

Its been awhile...

Well Christmas is over, and the New Year has come and gone. Hubby is back to work and life is back to normal... And I am dying to get some creating done!!! Sadly... there are garbages to be changed and blue boxes to be emptied and a mountain of laundry to get done and dishes to do and floors to sweep and a toddler on my lap wanting kisses and and and. Lol! See how fast I am getting it all done? Except the toddler kisses those are done! Lol Thought I would procrastinate a few minutes longer and show you the Frozen pjs I was telling you about before!!
Cute ey? She loves them!! But Mommy needs to do alittle work to make them perfect still... turns out I needed to double fold the hems cuz they are fraying after 1 wash... pattern did not tell me that!! And zig zag stitch all the edges... so Heigh Ho Heigh Ho its off to the sewing machine ago!!

Stay tuned for some other wicked projects this week!! My oldests Frozen bday invitations, an exploding box for a baby name reveal at a baby shower I'm co-hosting next weekend, and a baby blanket for said baby shower!!

Happy Crafting!!!
