Cinderella Carriages: Decorated Pumpkins

Decorated Pumpkins

I saw this and loved it right away. But realizing how close Lydia's birthday is to Halloween, I've decided it would be more fun to decorate their Cinderella pumpkins with faces for the upcoming holiday.

Treat Bags

Personalize your treat bags for any party!!

I absolutely LOVE the idea of personalizing every aspect of a party. We will be celebrating my daughter, Lydia's 1st birthday in October, but it is never too early to start. 

I used my Cricut to cut out the banner, heart, and crown. 

The doilies are leftover from my wedding seed bags (you will see those in a later post).

I hand lettered the name with a Sharpie pen because it dries really fast and doesn't smudge.

The cellophane treat bags were a super bargain at Goodwill's Easter Clearence, and I picked up two packs of 20 for less than $1.00!  

It's Sweet to be 15!

One of my first layouts. It's nice to get this out of the dusty back pages of my album.

When I turned 15 my mom threw me an awesome before and after makeover party. We had a temporary tattoo table, one for hair, piles of makeup, and an entire candy buffet. Take home notions were left throughout the party on tables and counter tops. Mirrors and applicators. Nail polish and candy. 

My mom even took me to the Mall of America, where sales associates handed me clothes over the doors for the whole Pretty Woman experience every girl dreams of.
