Here is the invite for the Royal celebration! I am kinda obsessed!

 I just googled picture of a princess dress to color

 

 

 I already had this paper at my house...another freebie!

 

 

 

 I traced the computer picture onto the thick cardboard to trace with. On Word I typed up the invite, then it took me a few tries to have the paper printed correctly to fit both invites properly. I was able to fit 2 invites on each paper. Then I traced onto the back so pen wouldn't show up on the front of the invite.



 

I already had a bunch of tulle at my house from last years party. Always have tulle on hand...you never know!

I just cut out small rectangle pieces to wrap around the dress. I used a tab of hot glue to secure it in place.

I also had a spool of cute pick ribbon, I wrapped around the dress waist and tabbed with hot glue. You will burn your fingers, it doesn't bother me anymore. All the years of crafting, you become immune to the pain.

 

Big hit so far!! Alli told me they are beautiful, and I am a nice mommy! Success!

 

I bought these gems at Walmart for $3 something. It's actually 4 long strips, so I just used a razor blade to cut them individually. Already had glue on them, and they were the perfect colors!

 

 

My fingers once I finished. I just peeled it off and washed my hands, unfortunately it took some of my nail polish as well. Small price to pay for such gorgeous invites!

 

 

 

Love them! I ended up with pink, blue, and purple. This whole project cost me about $8.00! $3 for the gems and $5 for envelopes.



My "streamer" 3

My daughter Allison is turning 3 March 10th!! She's getting so big (tear). Well, one of my favorite things to do is...party planning! So, of course when it comes to Alli's bday I am ecstatic! It is definitely my favorite day of the year, surpassing Halloween (my bday and super fun holiday) and even Christmas. I start brainstorming mid November, and really go full force after the new year. This year she requested a Princess theme. Honestly, not surprised at all. My first decoration is a simple 3 from hard paper and streamers.

I already had all of these items at home, so this project=free! Yay!

Draw a 3 (or any number) to cut out, I apparently can't draw a 3 very easily:)

Just tear a small piece of streamer, bunch, then glue! So easy!
