My Lil One Birthday


I forgot to post the birthday's crafts in this blog but I have posted some photos in here (sorry, not for everyone).

Now, I'll try to remember all I prepared for the birthday. First, you have seen the Cake Banner as shown at previous blog.

Second, I made the Mickey Mouse's cake. It was carrot cake and cupcakes, covered with almond paste and fondant in red, black and yellow colors. I decorated the cake with some Mickey's heads shaped by using some round things I had in the kitchen (fortunately, I had some bento stuffs that I could use).

The cupcake wrappers were printed from this site. And some were just made from scrapbooking papers (I copied the pattern with a carbon paper and then cut them). For the bottle wrappers, I made it by using Scrapbook Flair software and some freebies I found in the internet (forgive me, I can not remember the site).

And one little thing, the food tag. It was made also by using Scrapbook Flair software and some embellishment from A Grieving Mommy (thank's again!). I printed the food tags in photo papers. But finally I did not use them because they were too cute ^_^ Kidding. We did not really need them since I did not serve so many food.

Third, for the deco of the windows, I made Mickey's heads by using felt fabrics that I had at home. The pattern was easy to find in the internet. The happy birthday banner on the wall was bought from eBay UK (not in the photo).

Fourth, the goody bags and the Mickey's biscuits. The tote bags were so simple. I made the applique with felt fabrics in blue and green color. Since the cotton fabrics were limited (I tried to use fabrics available at home, not bought new ones), so the results were only 4 tote bags. Two were with blue Mickey's head appliques. Another two with the green. My mother-in-law helped me to sew the rest while I concentrated only on the appliques and the cuttings. I also put inside the goody bag: a sticker, a Playhouse Disney pencil and a bottle of bubble soap with Minnie wrap (Scrapbook Flair software).

The biscuits, they were made by my handmade cookie cutters in this blog. So cute, right? When I cut the dough with the cutters, the shape looked unperfect. But after going out from the oven, all cookies looked perfect: Mickey's heads. It would be nicer if I decorated with icing or chocolate, but I did not have the time.

One thing that was a must, the Thank You Cards. I also made it by using Scrapbook Flair and with embellishment of A Grieving Mommy (Denise is really kind and talented! Big thank's, Denise! Without you, I would not be able to make those cute stuffs).


Voila, c'est tout...!
