Birthday Projects

:D

I love using my scrappy supplies to make decorations for my kids birthday parties. Banners, hats, goodie bags, games, wands, table decor, cupcake picks...oh the possibilities are endless!!!

For my son's cowboy party, I made these darling goodie bags from brown paper bags, stamps and ink, ribbon and old alpha stickers.

I even used some theme-fitting scrapbook pages as table decor (the grown-ups loved it).

I used lots of old scrap paper - some fitting the cowbow theme and some just color appropriate to make this big banner for the party.


And to wrap up the party, I quickly made some digi pages from the pics from the party to give out to the family members (adults) who came as a thank you keepsake. It also shows the cupcake picks I made, and the digital scrapping "Wanted" posters for each child (each parent loved taking these home of their cute kids) and clever food names printed out.



I'd love to see any projects you made with your scrap supplies!

Star WARs- May the birthday force be with you!
I used my scrap goodies to make cupcake pics.

Invitations made from scrap supplies. My 6 year old son helped! So personal.


Made these picks for on top of the cupcakes with toothpicks, wire (twisted around a pencil for that confetti streamer look) and a circle punched photo.

Then later used one of the blue cupcake picks as a layout embellishment!

And some more fab invites I found online:

great projects Amy! The cowboy party looked fabulous! You did a wonderful job! I also like the Fabric banner! cute!!

Love your photos from the cowboy party and the star wars party! Great job w/the decorations and goody bags! I made a banner for my daughter's last birthday. The photos are really fussy though. Dim lighting in the living room made it really hard to get a good shot. Here's the best I was able to do:





This was her card made with matching MME papers:



and I forgot to take a pic of her gift which was also decorated w/the same line. It was a small family b-day party at our house.
