graduation party

"The Sky's the Limit" is my very favorite graduation theme. I love not only the inspiring message but also all of the possibilities for fun embellishing!

It works well for a whimsical graduation party theme, like this one I created for Fiskars. You can view the full photos and tutorial here.

Be sure to check out the cutest little graduation cap pinata poppers I included here.

And a blast from the past, this graduation card is a free printable. You can find it here.

And one last "high-flying" graduation theme can be found in this hot air balloon card from this graduation card trio I created for Fiskars here.

Congratulations to the Class of 2014 ... the sky really is the limit! =)

prom photos and party

With prom season underway, I wanted to share a fun, free printable for pre-prom photos I created for Fiskars.

I love taking photobooth-style photos, and the kids seem to really enjoy injecting personality into the photos this way (and taking selfies this way, ha!). I am sharing several prom photo prop ideas over at Fiskars.

I am also sharing tutorials on creating a beautiful pre-prom party.

You can view full photos, printable, and tutorials here.

new year's eve party with jumbo sequins

Oops, I blinked. And now it's a few days away from 2014! Do you remember that show, Small Wonder I think it was, that had the girl who could put her two index fingers together to stop time? That ... would be awesome.

But back in the real world, I have to face facts that time keeps moving at a rapid pace. And thus, it's time to think about New Year's Eve! Today I am sharing ideas for a DIY party over at Fiskars like this confetti banner ...

... and DIY jumbo sequins ...

... and place settings ...

... and an easy centerpiece.

You can find the full tutorial and photos here at Fiskars.

And my previous New Year's Eve ideas here.

Best wishes for a wonderfully crafty 2014!

diamond bridal shower

My turn to take on the geometric trend! I love diamonds, and they make for a really cool theme for a bridal shower (or wedding, or anniversary, or engagement, you get the idea, ha!).

Here is a bridal shower I created for Fiskars. You can view the full tutorial here including a diamond ring twist on the traditional paper chain above!

And how to easily draw diamonds.

And how to make diamond treat boxes using two paper punches! View the full photos and tutorial here.

I also have a Love Birds themed party to share that would be beautiful for a wedding, engagement or anniversary party, or bridal shower.

The full photos and tutorial for this are included in a free ebook devoted to the Fiskars Fuse, which can be found here.

end of "school" ice cream sundae bar

I'm currently in planning mode for my daughter's end-of-the-school-year class party and am going with my school of fish themed ice cream bar that was originally designed for the beginning of the school year!

It will be a great way to end this great school year! It's fun coming up with themed "school" of fish toppings for the bar.

You can view my full party and tutorials over at Fiskars here.

oscar or movie party

With the Academy Awards coming up soon, I wanted to come up with some fun party ideas for an Oscar Party over at Fiskars ... but most of these ideas can be used for any movie themed event! 

Like these easy faux marquee letters, which can spell out anything you need for any event.

Can you guess what paper punch I cropped to create these ridiculously easy Oscar statues? You can find out the answer here. And seriously, how cute are those little film reels??

Easier to guess is what classic toy is used for these film reels?

You can view the full party and tutorials here.

bee mine valentine party

A bee themed Valentine's Day party is a fun way to celebrate this sweet holiday! And it's my newest party over at Fiskars.

I'm most excited about making my own prize tickets! My kids love saving up tickets at the arcade to "buy" cheap prizes, and I thought that would translate well for party prizes.

View the full party and tutorials here.

And view my previous Valentine's Day party here.
