Guest {Sister} Melia: Peace, Love & Oreos

On Sunday (yes, the day before Valentine’s Day), Crystal and I set to work on creating her Valentine’s Day Cards. I had seen Oreo pops on several blogs and thought that looked really cute and easy to do.

Using Paper & Cake's printable Peace Party design, I cut out several of the 2" party rounds (yay! for the circle punch) and made my own treat bag toppers using the full sheet of "peace" patterned paper included in the set. I customized the rounds to say “Peace, Love & Oreos” along with a round for Crystal to write out her "to"s and "from"s.

It all worked out great, except the Oreo pops. They were difficult to dip in the chocolate and not fall off the stick. After about 12 attempts, I gave up and ended up dipping ½ of the Oreo into the chocolate. In the end it was a huge time saver and I think they came out really cute.

Valentine's Day... to Chocolate or not to Chocolate

How is it that Valentine's Day is already upon us? Honestly, it still feels like January - or December for that matter. Anyway, I just wanted to show you the most fabulous Valentine's gift that I just received yesterday from my friend Terri. I am SO sorry to tell you, I can't share them because they are gone. We ate them. All.

I say we, but really it was mostly me.

German Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Toffee, Carrot Cake, Red Velvet, Lemon and Strawberry - way better than a box of chocolates EVERY day of the week. If you need some for Valentine's Day, well, it may be too late, but the good news is she makes cake pops and cake balls for every occasion for every season and they are all delish!

Stop by Terri's Party Treasures facebook page and say Hi, it will make her day.

Still looking for some super cute Valentine's Day printables? Stop by the shop for everything from kid friendly Luv Bugs, to Twilight inspired Dark Moon printable sets, and everything in between.


PS- Stop by next Monday for some big news and big giveaways!

Guest {Star} Genevieve: Print. Cut. Bedazzle!

Happy Day lovelies! How stoked am I to be hijacking Abigail's blog today! (Touchdown Dance!!!)

I'm a HUGE stalker so this is an EPIC honor!!!

Here's to hoping my post inspires you to get crazy crafty with your printables!

Cheers!

Think BEYOND the booth!

If you think photo booth props are JUST for parties, think again superchicks!

Creative gift giving is a MUST in my word! And since my brain is always on "CREATE", I thought I'd fashion some of these sweet little Valentine's Day Printable Photo Props into the PERFECT GIFT!

My SuperSophie was thrilled beyond words when I shared this "special gift" with her!

Who says one must host a "real" party to enjoy these fun "toys"! I knew she'd enjoy what I had planed, but I never expected this "gift" would keep her entertained for HOURS!

I took my Valentine's photo props to a whole new level by glittering and beddazling them! What can I say?! I'm a superchick! Go big or go home!  ;-)

My original plan was to play "silly tea party" by introducing Sophie's bears to their new "dress up accessories"! But my rockstar had a different plan! The second she spotted the lips and stashes she squealed with delight and grabbed her digital camera!

She spent HOURS playing "photographer"!

SMILE BEAR!

(You say STASH but Sophie says BANGS! LMAO)

Trust me when I tell you that this PDF download was da bomb! Best $$$ you'll ever spend!

PRINT. CUT. PLAY. as often as you want!

Be crafty, be creative and think BEYOND the timeless photo booth!

Oh oh... and I almost forgot!!! That same afternoon, we also used our "props" to bling out our cupcakes!!! (His for Bear and Hers for Dollie!)

What a perfect ending to a charming teddy bear playdate! 

 

Abigail!!! You're such an inspiration and you're work is beyond stellar! Thanks again for inviting me to play with your FANTABULOUS printable photo booth props!!!

Kiss Kiss to you and your awesome readers!
