Halloween Scrapbook page on plywood

I love pictures, scrap booking, and Halloween all three of those combined make a super cute Halloween craft for me!! I wish I had a fireplace mantel that is where I think this would look amazing. But for now my dresser will have to do. To make this all you need is some 8x12 plywood, scrapbook paper and a cute Halloween photo of your cutie pies.

Halloween Banner

All you need to make this ADORABLE and SPOOKY Halloween Banner is a hot glue gun already made pennants, Halloween chipboard, and bakers twine. SIMPLE as that!!! 

So what do you guys think!? Cute right!?

Halloween Magnetic Frame

I am a big fan of magnetic DIY frames!! I have made more than one in my lifetime. LOL!! What can I say I LOVE them A LOT!!!! So I would like to share with all of you a super fun Halloween one I made using a method called crackling wood. To do this yourself all you will need is crackling paint.

TUTORIAL:

1. Paint your wooden frame white acrylic paint and let it dry.

2. Paint over with the crackle paint. Make sure to let this completly dry or the crackling won't work.

3. Paint over the dried crackle paint with Black acrylic paint. Make sure to use the one stroke method on your frame for the black paint or you wont see the crackle look come through your frame.

I LOVE how the crackled look gives it a fun and SPOOKY look to it.

So What do you think?! So what are you creating for Halloween? I would love to hear about it or see.

Halloween Project

It's starting to feel cooler outside and it's making me feel so ready for FALL. I would have to say Fall is one of my favorite seasons for many reasons. One of them is all of the cute Halloween decorations that I get to make for my house.

I want to share with all of you one of those Halloween projects which was so easy to make! I bought the plywood from Lowe's and a friend of mine gave me this adorable Martha Stewart Halloween scrapbook paper.  I made this months ago and can I say, it has been so HARD waiting for the right time to share this with all of you. So I am VERY excited that it is now the right time to share this ADORABLE Halloween project.

 I LOVE these cute little party hat pumpkins!!!

Bakers twine is a must for banners!!

So what do you all think!? I LOVE IT!!!

It's been awhile!!

It has been so long since I have blogged!! It's been kind of hard finding the time to blog but with Spring Break going on right now I have a little extra time on my hands.

I wanted to share with you some of my recent projects. I made this cute Spring decor wall hanging using my Silhouette for the bunnies. Don't you love the little necklaces on them?? Other materials used were scrapbook paper, crackle paint, and acrylic paint. 

Here is another recent project I just finished! I used my Silhouette maker for the United States map and heart. This projects was SUPER easy and it turned out so cute.

Last thing I want to share is my Bunny with a fluffy tail. I used yarn to make his tail.

Barbie Party

My sweet girl turned 6 this year!!! I still can't believe I have a 6 year old!!! I really wanted to give her a special birthday party this year. I never have done a birthday party quite as BIG as this for my girl. This was defiantly a lot of HARD work. This wouldn't have been possible without all of my MOM's help. So THANKFUL for all that she did to make this happen!!!

 To give you an idea on how long it took to put this party together, my mom and I started working on this party in the SPRING time and the party was in November. WOAH!! Right?!? It was defiantly worth all of the hard work. It turned out so great!! I just won't be doing something like this every year. You all understand. Right? :) 

For the invitation we wanted to make something special that we could deliver to each girls door so we came up with paper purses for the invitations. 

The Invitation: Barbie paper purse: You can find a template for a purse on google.

We also made Bubble gum necklaces and a flower hair clips for the girls.

Emma took a bite out of one of her bubblegum before I got a chance to take her picture. Bummer!! But it still looks cute. 

The party started off with the girls designing their own Barbie dresses! 

One of my favorite things was letting the girls design their own Barbie dress for their Barbie dolls. They LOVED IT!!! All you need is some stick on gems and flowers and your good to go. My AMAZING mom made these beautiful barbie dresses, She spent so much time on them. She is so AMAZINGLY TALENTED!!!

They were so proud of their Barbie Dresses!!

I found my frames at Ikea for $5!!

After the girls designed their barbie dresses they went shopping for candy and jewelry

The Barbie Jewelry Boutique: Another  fun part about this party was the girls all went shopping at Barbie's Boutique. 

 They loved it and they looked so cute all DOLLED UP!!

Necklaces!! We found all of our necklaces at Claires. We always made sure to pick some up when they were having a big sale. Making the necklaces a $1 each.

Don't you love the Jeweled up compact mirrors?!? I LOVE them!!! 

Lollipop lip gloss!!

After shopping for Jewelry the girls went shopping at Barbie's Candy Shop!! They were in HEAVEN!!! Yummy pink candy, cute and tasty!!

Cute!!

Decorations

One of my favorite decorations that I made for my sweet girls party is this Barbie picture. I found it at a used store, called the DI. Can you believe this use to be a junky old mirror?? My plan was to keep it as a mirror, but it cracked!! I was so sad. Lucky for me It sure turned out great as a picture!! :) 

 My mom and I spray painted it watermelon pink and covered the backing of the mirror with batting and fabric and glue gunned it down. Then we took some black fabric and traced a Barbie doll image onto it and hot ironed it on to the fabric. We added some pearls around the border of the frame and her neck and ear for a little EXTRA cuteness!!

The Decorations!!

Found this at a party store.

Used a cricket to make the Birthday Banner!!

Covered the walls with black and white poka dot wrapping paper. You can find it at Hobby Lobby.

My mom found vintage barbie images on the web to customize them into cute vintage barbie soda's.

 SO PRETTY!! They look even better in person.

I love HOBBY LOBBY!! I Found a lot of stuff for the party at Hobby Lobby!

This BEAUTIFUL BARBIE CAKE was made by a friend of mine Heidi Roark.  She is going to culinary school. She has a blog called Rcakes. She makes such cute cakes. All of the girls were in love with Emma's cake. 

Heidi also made the Cupcakes!!

All of the girls were lucky enough to take home their very own Barbie!!

All of the girls also took home a Boa!! The dress hanger was bought at Hobby Lobby.

Here is a few of them all dolled up!!

So cute!! RIGHT?!?

Customized Barbie Bags: The girls used these to go shopping for their candy and jewelry.  

All you need is a pink tote bag, pearl beads and black fabric. Print out a barbie silhouette from the computer and trace it onto black fabric. Then heat transfer it onto your tote bags. So easy and it looks so FABULOUS!!! 

Don't you love the pink tulle on the chairs?!?!! So stinking cute!!

Barbie plates and water.

Gotta love friends. So cute!!

These balloons were held down by Barbie! Thanks Barbie :)

Love this!! You can find it at Hobby Lobby!!!
