Tour-de-Freaks: It's My Party!!!

Welcome to the February 2011 Blog Tour. If you've just arrived from Barb Mullikin's blog, you've come to the right place! Weren't her projects great! But don't worry, if you have started here, it will be possible to go completely to the end and arrive back here after going to the beginning of the tour!(If you are viewing this before the 20th, all the links may not be working so be sure to stop back again on the 20th).

This month's theme is It's My Party - Birthday cards and projects. I decided to do a birthday ensemble. I've seen lots of these types of things on the internet so I wanted to do my own using My Digital Studio. I had a lot of fun doing this. Obviously, if this was for a real party, the set up wouldn't look so small, lol! I would certainly have many more cookies and cupcakes! Anyway, on to the details. I used the Celebrations Digital Kit for most of the pieces, along with the Owl Punch. For the straws, I made the owls, printed them on white cardstock, and then punched them out. I adhered them to scallop circles using the Celebrations DSP. Then I just taped them to the straws. I then used the labels and added "cake", "cookies", and "candy" using the Just Perfect font. Then I used the pennant from the Celebrations stamp set and added different words to each one. I then stuck these into the cupcakes. How cute!





So whats a birthday ensemble without an invitation or card! Again, I used the Celebrations kit and owl punch for the invite. My cousin's son is turning 1 on April 2nd, so I used him for my sample :) Maybe they will want to use all of these for their party! For the invite, I used the polka dot paper for the background but just changed the opacity so it wasn't so bright. Then I added the fun little banner in the corner and the owl in the other corner.



Lastly, is the birthday card. This is pretty much a CASE of a card by Teneale Williams. I used the Celebrations DSP, the scallop square, the owl punch, Bashful Blue ribbon, red buttons and the Party This Way stamp set. Super cute right! I just love this little owl. Now if only I had my own kids to make all this fun stuff! Someday!!!




Thanks for checking out my projects. I hope you are enjoying the tour. Next up is Debbie Couier, with some great projects!
