Valentine Poofs

Challenge #17 at Decorate To Celebrate is to create any project to be used as a party decoration (or party supply) for a Valentine's Day Party!!

I have been sitting on the Martha Stewart shredding scissors for about a year with no usage. I got my money's worth after shredding up all these poofs! You make the regular tissue paper flowers, then start cutting away to give them a little texture. I cute the hearts with the Sizzix...and thought about glittering them. But, these are hanging over my dining room table, and fallen glitter in breakfast would not go over too well;)

Itty Bitty New Year

Decorate To Celebrate's current challenge is to create a decoration or party supply for a New Year's Party. I will admit, we are the people that always stay in. That was occurring even before the kiddos came around! 

This is a small banner, about two inches tall for each pennant. I will be taking it along to my sisters house, so I made some confetti with my Cricut, and wrapped it in some Hambly doily paper.

Decorate To Celebrate- Challenge #9

Decorate To Celebrate's Challenge #9 is to create any project to be used as a party decoration (or party supply) for a BABY'S BIRTHDAY!!  
My friend just had her baby, so this is a gift bag with all kinds of goodies for the whole family. I taped some stitched crepe paper at the bottom so jazz up my plastic basket. 

Guest Designer at Decorate To Celebrate!

I am so excited to be the Guest Designer for the challenge blog Decorate to Celebrate!

The theme for this challenge is 'Birthday Party (for an adult)' and they accept any party decorations in the challenge. It continues until July 12th, so be sure to head over there.

So, I will tell you a little about my pie banner:) I always get pies for my birthday (it is in August so you can bet I will be getting another pie;)What better way to spruce up any sweets than a little banner! I used small sized bamboo skewers, and attached the banner with twine. To make the pennants, fold a 2 inch circle in half and apply glue after you have folded over the string.

Thank you to Decorate to Celebrate for letting me join you all in this challenge!
