Homecoming 2012

On Saturday, my son attended his first Homecoming dance at the high school.  One of his friend's parents hosted a sit down dinner at their house for 30 Freshman.  I was asked to make the table centerpieces for the dinner tables.  Here is what I came with:

I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the flowers and attached them to styrofoam balls with pins and buttons.  I used George for the banner and Varsity Letter for the letters/numbers.  They were a lot more tedious than I had originally expected, but I am thrilled with how they turned out.  Here is a picture of them in the room:

And here is a picture of my not so baby anymore boy:

The kids had a great time and the food and company were fabulous.  TFL



Altered Binder Clips Food Labels

Happy Hump Day!  Since the food tables are spread out around the house at our party, I like to have food labels so people know what they are eating.  I saw some really cute altered binder clips on the internet and thought they would make great food label holders.  I covered the clip with paper, tied on a piece of ribbon and cut a tag using the Art Philosophy cartridge (on center).  I think they will be a nice addition to the food tables.  TFL

Party Banners

As I posted earlier, my husband and I are hosting our annual holiday party in December (Summer in December Party).  I made six banners over the weekend for the food tables and front door.  Here is the one I made for the Salad Bar.  The others are the same design, but say Welcome to Paradise, Starters, Meat & Potatoes, Sweets & Treats and Tiki Bar.  I used several different cartridges including Art Philosophy, Accent Essentials, Lifes a Beach and Celebrations.  I strung each letter together with ribbon.  I also finally used my Peachy Keen stamps on the sun.  TFL
