6th Birthday Safari Party

I have been terribly busy the past few weeks but I have few post to type up and pictures to upload hopefully they will get done before I head out of town so you'll have some new things to look at..

Just for fun for today I though I would show the Party things I did. DS#2 had his 6th Bday Party today with his friends at school. We invited 7 people and 3 came..I think the morning school day time might have had something to do with it, but we still had fun and I personally enjoyed the smaller group. A week ago I stamped some invitations can you believe I didnt take a picture of them...UGH I used an Autumn leaves monkey hanging down.. They were really cute I had one extra that I RAKed to someone I am going to see if I can get the image emailed to me...if I get it it will be posted here...They were very simple because I had to make 8 of them...I used My Cuttlebug on them. I realized after making 8 I only needed 7 because I had to have supplies for my DS also...so I used the extra to make a RAK for my friend, This is the card I made for my friend. It is a bit different, but the Monkey and Green Strip matted with Brown are the same...I did use the yellow but only on the bottom half of the card and I embossed it with Floral Screen to look more "Junglelike".

I made gift bags to hold the hotwheels cars playdough and other fun party stuff in. I picked up some white lunch bags at Wal-Mart and Stamped them using Wild About You. I used Always Artichoke, Summer Sun, More Mustard, Ballet Blue and Going Grey. I made the tag using SSCS and White CS and Stamped the image with Basic Black. MY DD said they came out really cute. The Ribbon yes left over Wedding ribbon!, more stash being used up!

For party games I used my cricut and cut out some simple Shapes. After putting mask together the kids. First went Bowling for monkey's....I used brown a Mustard yello CS from Value Packs to make the monkeys and adhered them to empty water bottles with two glue dots...

Second we went to try to get Animals with little frisbees the kids stood ont he stairs and threw trying to get the frisbees into one of the cans, either an Elephant, Lion, Tiger , Zebra or Giraffe.

I used Animal Kingdom and a charcoal pencil to add some hightlights, and White Gel pen to color the tusk.

The last game we fed clothes pins to an Alligator. The kids really liked the games and played them over and over. I cut jsut the alligator head and stuck it to the side of a vase I had.

I have a few other projects I have made that I hope to get scheduled to post inthe next few days. For now I am glad to have the Birthday Party over.

I will be really glad when I am done scannign my pictures..It takes alot of time to get them all digitallized. I really think it will be worth it though.

Until Later ... Happy Stamping!
