So many cute little Zebras!

So - I just love these little guys!  They are just so stinkin' cute!  One of our neighbors has zebras which is also so fun - whenever you drive by you'll see cars along the road taking pictures.  It is quite a site to see Zebras in Prescott, AZ.

Zany Zebras Cling Stamp Set #152536  $19.00

Last week I posted what I did with the scraps of Rainbow Glimmer Paper I was using for a class (you can check that out HERE) - well, here are the cards we made in class I was referring to.  We used strips of the glimmer paper - which worked wonderful with the zebras - because it brought a lot of a color to cards with black and white animals.  Just stamped them and punched them and layered them on black, onto the pretty glimmer colors.  I just love how they turned out.

On the inside we added some fun sentiments and some little party hats!

Here is another one - little bit different colors of glimmer paper - but still just as adorable.  Who is it time for you to celebrate?  This would be the perfect card to do it with! So much fun!!

Some how I think I forgot to post these pictures from Zavian and Kyan's birthday party in April.  Wow - don't know how that happened - but better late than never.

Makai's Birthday Baking Party

Had to share some great pictures from my Granddaughter Makai's recent birthday party.  Heidi did a Baking party for her.  She has chalkboard paint on a wall inside and was able to do this great sketch of a bakery window on the wall as a back-drop for all the goodies.

As the kids came in they came into individual place settings with their own aprons ready to decorate, their own handmade baker's hats, and their own drink bottle and straw.

Here is the cute garland she made for the front of the table - made with cupcake liners and wooden spoons.

Each girl got to decorate their own little apron with stencils and fabric markers. They also decorated two cupcakes - one to eat and one to take home; and they made their own individual pizzas.

Here's Makai blowing out her candles.  What a sweetie she is!

Among all the other goodies was this cute birthday cake.

 

At the end each girl went home with a little box with their cupcake in and a cute little goodie bag.  It was a day of fun, chaos and baking - just what a little girls party should be.

Stop back soon.  ~Maureen

Christmas Gift Exchange - Final installment :)

I lied - I had promised yesterday was the last of our gift exchange - but I missed a couple pics - so had to share.  Here's Paula with her cute package from Maria

 

 And inside these four beautiful cards.

The last gift is my wreath that I made for Sarah - as you can see, it is very similar to the one she gave away.

So that is really it - I'll close with a picture of the great food we shared and you can see the beverages in the background.  What a fun day with a wonderful group of ladies!

See you all soon ~Maureen

Our Christmas GIft Exchange

Okay - soooo sorry for the delay - I thought I'd better try and get all my Christmas Posts done before January's over :)  Can't believe how time flies - so enjoy seeing all the great items we exchanged over the next few days.  We just asked that something be stamped - it could be the item or the wrapping or both.

Flip Flop Card

Last post I shared about Paisley's pool party - so today I wanted to share the cute little flip-flop card I made for her. I made a template from a child's flip-flop then cut out the card on white cardstock leaving it attached at two spots on the left.  Then I cut out a layer of the green striped DSP and punched holes to slip the ribbon in and adhere underneath, and then I adhered the entire layer to the top of the card.  Finally I punched out a flower, secured with a brad and added to the flip flop.  I really like how it turned out.

 Here's the card showing how it opens (with a cute little gift card inside).

She got a lot of great and fun gifts.

Here she is (after the pool and some face painting) opening her presents. 

What a great day - celebrating a great girl!!  ~Gramma Maureen

The Sweete Buffet

Just wanted to share some of the great pictures from Zamarah's party - Heidi's new business "The Sweete Buffet" is taking off and this is why - just look how cute!  The tables were set in "Hello Kitty" style.

Each child had their own drink bottle with their name on the little flag - and their Hello Kitty favor.  The take-out boxes were decorated......

and used to get some yummy treats from this "Sweete Buffet" - candy, treats and the candy drizzled popcorn was amazing.

more candy, pencils, and look at those adorable "Hello Kitty" suckers.

Here's the candy with the "Zamarah" Hello Kitty banner on the front and balloons behind - everyone loved it!

Besides all the sweets - we had wings, pizza, veggies and more - delish!!  One grandbaby party done - five more to go :)  Good thing we like to PARTY!!

See you soon!! ~Maureen
