When did that happen? He is currently obsessed with barns, or "cow houses" as he calls them, so a farm themed party was the way to go this year. I had such a blast creating and planning this party. It just turned out so cute!<br />

First I have to tell you all that I am a budget party planner. This entire party cost me $60! That includes everything from the decorations and invitations to the food and game supplies. So parties like this are something most everyone can do. I borrowed the cute farm stuffed animals from a friend, along with a few other things. So keep that in mind as an option too.<br />
<br />
Let's start with the food table.<br />

We had water and lemonade for drinks in our fancy beverage dispensers. The Watering Hole sign is available in the party pack. Since my son's birthday is so close to Christmas, I found tons of red and green items on clearance. (I need to make a mental note, always make sure I use red and green in his future parties. Haha!) So the jar holding the sign is filled with red M&M's and the adorable chevron paper straws were also found on clearance. </div>

The super adorable chocolate pops were handmade by me. Once again after Christmas clearance items included a lot of different colored candy melt. I found the farm animal mold on Amazon. You can find it <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FYMATQO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">here. </a> It even comes with the sticks. If you've never made your own chocolates it is easy, and it looks like you slaved away making adorable additions to your treat table. Check out youtube for some great tutorials. </div>

The cake was my son's idea. It just had to be a barn cake. We made mini cupcakes and put the animals on top so that we would have animals in the barnyard. Kian called the mini cupcakes "baby cakes." It was really pretty hilarious to hear him asking people if they wanted a baby cake. </div>

The food labels are available in the party pack in my etsy shop. There are some with names already in them or a blank set. Anyway, these carrots were one of my favorites. They were so easy to make. Just fill a cone shaped bag with goldfish and add some green paper on top! I found the bags on Amazon as well. </div>

The Hay bales are rice krispie treats tied with red string twizzlers. The Tractor Tires are chocolate shortbread cookies (they have a hole in the middle). And the Cow Pies are No Bake Cookies. These were the hit item on the treat table. There were none left about halfway through the party. </div>

The banner was made using red burlap (on clearance after Christmas) twine, and the paper letter print outs found in the party pack. I even opted for sewing the burlap so that I can rearrange how many are on the twine. The letters were just taped on and can be removed, so the burlap banner part can be used again (I see an awesome banner in my mantel's future for Valentine's Day). The barn is a red tri-fold board that I cut with an exacto knife. I used construction paper to glue on the other colored elements.<br />

The items hung from the ceiling were either clearance or items I had from previous parties. Adding something hanging from the ceiling creates instant party atmosphere. </div>

We had cow print balloons (Hobby Lobby) and "wood" signs, and farmers hats around the party area as well.<br />
<br />
Now onto the games!<br />
<br />
As the kids were arriving we had farm themed toys out for the kids to play with. We also had an episode of Shaun the Sheep playing.<br />
<br />
The first game we played was "Catch the Pig". This was probably the favorite game of all the children.<br />

I had our older party guests get on one side of the pig pen and let the pigs (pink balloons with pig faces drawn on them in marker) escape. The party guests had to catch the pigs and return them to their pen. There was a good 15 minutes of pure noise, chaos and fun as the kids played this game.<br />
<br />
Then we played Pin the Tire on the Tractor. Pretty self explanatory. I didn't catch any pictures of them playing this one.<br />

Next we played "collect the eggs". I had egg cartons on the floor and hid some Easter eggs. The kids had to collect the eggs and put them in the cartons. When they filled a carton they got a sticker. After games we enjoyed cake and ice cream and presents. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I know the birthday boy did. He is still talking about the "cow house" party.Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15213618087515247184noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914636796193288682.post-45922146389169968342014-10-03T20:34:00.001-07:002014-10-03T20:34:58.488-07:00How To Train Your Dragon Printable Party SetMy 8 year old loves How To Train Your Dragon, so it came as no surprise that this was the theme he picked for his party. It was so fun to do! All of the printable items I created for this party are available in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/205809692/how-to-train-your-dragon-party-pack-300?" target="_blank">Etsy Shop. </a><br />
<br />
Decorations for the party included a lot of brown, red, black, and green, and was inspired by viking maps, dragon scales and fire!<br />

So the idea for the party was that the guests would come and be taught how to be dragon trainers. As they arrived they could get their faces painted and "How to Train Your Dragon" tattoos. I hadn't even remembered that the characters had their faces painted in parts of the movie. My 8 year old sure did!</div>

I made the shields out of round cake bases. They have packs of 10 at Walmart. I cut two slits in the center and put some wide twill ribbon through and looped it so that they would have something to hold onto. I then glued the smaller round (large cupcake bases I found at Michael's) on top to hold the ribbon in place. I found some How To Train Your Dragon stickers in the Dollar bins at Target (score!) So they decorated with those and crayons and markers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they were done with their shields they got to select their dragons. I didn't get any pictures of this, but it seemed like everyone enjoyed it. I created cards that have dragons from the movie on them (included in the party pack). Then each child drew a card, the cards have different colored borders that match different Easter eggs. We hid the eggs throughout the yard before the party. Inside the eggs were a matching card that tells them about their dragon. The boys especially enjoyed reading them and telling each other all the cool things their dragons could do. After Dragon Selection, the kids were free to pick any of the other games to play (similar to a carnival). There was Flying Lessons. Paper airplanes that look like dragons that they flew off of the deck. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The original game idea was to get the sheep into a basket in a relay style game. We have a trampoline, and I knew the kids would want to jump on it, so I incorporated it into the party. I used some yellow tape to make some targets on the trampoline and they had to jump the sheep onto them. </div>

There was also a "Feed Your Dragon Game" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found some plastic fish, filled our mini wading pool and dumped the fish in. The kids then used nets to "fish" and then take the fish down to the dragons (a container with a picture of a dragon on it). Most of the kids did this one at least 3 times. My 2 year old did only this game! </div>

When it seemed like everyone had finished playing the games. I gathered all the kids up to play Dragon Tag. (Essentially freeze tag, but they all pretended they were dragons). After that they were tired! So we enjoyed the cupcakes and opened presents. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
They feature two of my favorite sayings:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/202559070/eternal-perspective-present-joy-quote?ref=shop_home_active_14" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://img0.etsystatic.com/029/0/6158272/il_570xN.650098728_kw13.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div>
The first has been a sort of personal motto, and it is such a good reminder that I decided to hang it in our home. It now hangs in our entryway. I used burlap to mat it, I love the texture it adds and it was cheap. These images come as 8.5x11 jpegs, or .pngs with transparent backgrounds. Use them on layouts, cards or have them printed on canvas. The possibilities are endless! Find them in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/204266414/i-love-you-to-the-moon-and-back-300-dpi?ref=shop_home_active_4" target="_blank">DigiKindredCreations shop!</a></div>

We haven't seen him in a long time and wanted to make a poster for him to see as soon as he got off the plane. We came up with this:<br />
<br />

I thought it would be neat to share the Mission: Accomplished title I created (inspired by Mission: Impossible) I bet there are lots of creative uses for it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then staked green helium filled balloons to the ground with tent stakes. The kids enjoyed "target practice". </div>
The entire party was done on a $50 budget!<br />
Decorations were so easy to find, if you have a boy odds are you have army men, we just set them out on the tables along with toy tanks and jeeps.<br />
<br />
Green plates and tablecloths finished out the look.<br />

I apologize for the long break!<br />
<br />
I have been working on layouts though. I've been creating simple templates and using them to scrap some simple layouts. I don't know about anyone else but I take way, way more photos of my kiddos than I'll probably ever be able to actually scrap, but I still want to present them nicely in my scrapbook. So I thought I would share them and some of the templates for you to use as well.<br />

Knowing that, I am trying to be better about creating those layouts. So I did one this week.

I wanted a simple, easy garland to dress up our stairway banister for Easter. So I made this out of paper!<br />
The eggs are cut out then I used five eggs of the same color/pattern and folded them in half lengthwise.<br />

You then glue one folded half the folded half of another egg piece and continue doing that until you get to the last open half. I used regular white curling ribbon. Put the egg on the ribbon where you want it placed then glue the last half on. For an even simpler garland just glue two eggs together with the ribbon sandwiched in between. I then added the bunny circles and flowers.<br />
<br />
I've posted the eggs and bunny printables here so everyone else can make a garland too!<br />

I love that scrapbooking lets me continue to relive it!<br />
So I have some fun 3x4 Journal Card frames for everyone today that I used to create this layout:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Vd5ynAStd7bzVl8ds38wR8WWOmiS9aeMapqf7RkEl2awKPHwb2dANOKMtKGir1Vyt4FUaMz9mCFSwAX-3nqlsdLAyICnH7PibHmCP8P1JsZy6br-oK_JmmjdfZv8oYckuEufYBtaNR8/s1600/This+is+How+we+Roll.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Vd5ynAStd7bzVl8ds38wR8WWOmiS9aeMapqf7RkEl2awKPHwb2dANOKMtKGir1Vyt4FUaMz9mCFSwAX-3nqlsdLAyICnH7PibHmCP8P1JsZy6br-oK_JmmjdfZv8oYckuEufYBtaNR8/s1600/This+is+How+we+Roll.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To download the frames click on the image, then when the larger image opens, right click and save. Be sure they save as .png images so they have a transparent background. I also used the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/digikindredcreations/search?search_query=Go+Car+Go&order=date_desc&view_type=list&ref=shop_search" target="_blank">Go, Car, Go! Paper Pack</a> and<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/digikindredcreations/search?search_query=Go+Car+Go&order=date_desc&view_type=list&ref=shop_search" target="_blank"> Embellishment Set</a> which can be found in my shop. Enjoy!

My youngest son just turned two. I am having a hard time believing my baby is two! He loves cars, trains, trucks; pretty much anything with wheels. A car themed party was so fun to plan. I tried to keep the party open to lots of free play since his guests were also younger. It seemed to work out well.
Most of the decorations revolved around the activities for the party. We had a car wash, Drive In, and race track with a pit stop.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-20140-2-4.jpg"><img alt="1-11-20140 2 (4)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-803" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-20140-2-4-300x224.jpg" height="224" width="300" /></a><br />
<br />
Most of the prep work for the party was these fun little cars for the kids to use at the party. We used the small moving boxes from Home Depot and cut them in half. Then we cut a small portion of the longer lid sides pulled them up and used them to support the "windshield". I had seen a lot of really fancy cars on pinterest, but I really just wanted something simple and easy for the kids to walk around in. If you are doing this party for older kids, you probably wouldn't have to cut the boxes in half. We did because we knew they would be used by 2 and 3 year olds.<br />
<a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-20140-2-10.jpg"><img alt="1-11-20140 2 (10)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-808" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-20140-2-10-300x224.jpg" height="224" width="300" /></a><br />
<br />
The Race Track was so easy: black and yellow duct tape. We even had the tile lines to follow. We were putting up decorations while Kian was napping. When he woke up and saw everything, he knew exactly what to do with the race track<br />
<br />

<br />
A few of the older kids got going pretty fast around the race track!<br />

The car wash was just streamers folded over some twine and stapled, then hung across the hallway entry. The banner is a printable banner I created for the party. You can find it in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/176716952/go-car-go-party-printable-birthday-pack">Go Car Go Printable Party Pack in my shop</a>.<br />
<a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-20140-2-6.jpg"><img alt="1-11-20140 2 (6)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-805" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-20140-2-6-300x224.jpg" height="224" width="300" /></a><br />
I used a lot of banners to decorate for the party. It made it feel like a race track.<a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-3-9.jpg"><img alt="1-11-2014 3 (9)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-786" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-3-9-273x300.jpg" height="300" width="273" /></a> <a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-10.jpg"><img alt="1-11-2014 (10)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-745" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-10-e1390424613819-200x300.jpg" height="300" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
The red fan decorations were actually Christmas decorations that I picked up at 90% off! I just didn't add the Christmas tree circle decoration that was supposed to go in the middle. Whenever you are planning a party check out seasonal and clearance items, often something can be used in an out of the box way and it can save you a lot of money.<br />
<a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-3-4.jpg"><img alt="1-11-2014 3 (4)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-783" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-3-4-193x300.jpg" height="300" width="193" /></a> <a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-7.jpg"><img alt="1-11-2014 (7)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-742" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-7-300x200.jpg" height="200" width="300" /></a><br />
<br />
The pit stop was I think the favorite spot for most of the kids. I attached the cars wheels with velcro and made extra wheels so that they could change the tires. We also set out the boys play tool set, so that they could work on their cars. The sign is in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/176716952/go-car-go-party-printable-birthday-pack">party pack</a> too.<br />

<a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-31.jpg"><img alt="1-11-2014 (31)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-763" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-31-300x200.jpg" height="200" width="300" /></a><br />
We played the movie "Cars" at the drive in. I just had it running when the kids got there and they could sit and watch when they wanted to.<br />
<a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-13-e1390423138348.jpg"><img alt="1-11-2014 (13)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-13-e1390423138348-200x300.jpg" height="300" width="200" /></a><br />
We had these fun little packages of popcorn for our movie goers to enjoy at the drive in. <a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-5.jpg"><img alt="1-11-2014 (5)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-741" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-5-238x300.jpg" height="300" width="238" /></a><br />
I put this sign next to the race track. If you are lucky enough to be throwing the party outside, it would be fun to print a couple of these and put them on stakes and in the ground around the race track.
I had fun with the food. First there is the cake<br />
.<a href="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-22.jpg"><img alt="1-11-2014 (22)" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-755" src="http://www.1momagainstmoney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/1-11-2014-22-210x300.jpg" height="300" width="210" /></a><br />
<br />
I can't take credit for the idea for this cake. I found it on cakefoodpizza.blogspot.com. I used this tutorial on making a number 2 shaped cake from <a href="http://thetrendytreehouse.blogspot.com/2012/10/number-2-shaped-cake.html">Trendy Treehouse</a>. And finally a tutorial on how to make your own fondant from <a href="http://www.howdoesshe.com/easy-marshmallow-fondant-you-can-do-it/">How Does She</a>, which really was pretty easy. I used regular frosting to frost the cake and checkered crepe paper and long toothpicks to make the finish line. Everything else on the cake was made of fondant.<br />
<br />

My silly kiddo insisted on red velvet cake. He enjoyed it.<br />

The "oil" and "gasoline" are bottles of Root Beer and Cream Soda. The images I used on the soda pop are NOT in the party pack because they are copyrighted items, but you can find them online and print them. It was a fun extra on the food table.<br />

The car cookies were fun to do. Believe it or not, there is no frosting on these cookies. I added a little extra sugar and about 1/8 tsp. Almond Extract to a regular sugar cookie recipe to give them a little more flavor. I took out a spoonful of the dough and put it in a smaller bowl. Then I divided the rest in half and colored one half blue and the other green. I rolled out the dough cut them out with the cookie cutters and then placed them on the pan. I took the spoonful of dough in the small bowl and added water in very small amounts until it was about the consistency of frosting. I dyed it black with food coloring and then put it in a frosting bag. Before baking the cookies I piped the black "dough" out like frosting as the wheels and the numbers. Then I baked them as called for in the recipe. I was a little worried the black would not cook as much as the rest of the cookie, but it turned out great. I made these up about a week before to test it and when they turned out cute, I froze them for the party.<br />

After everyone had their fill of cake, snacks, and playing, we opened presents. Kian just had to open each present all the way up and play with it. What Fun!<br />

It was a great party, I know Kian won't remember it really, but it was so fun to see how excited he was about all of it. The race track and cake I think were his favorite things.Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15213618087515247184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4914636796193288682.post-25593308740903546042014-01-17T13:08:00.000-08:002014-01-17T13:08:25.083-08:00Layout A Week Challenge: Week 3 Free Rick Rack BorderI have a fun freebie for you!
