Upcoming Events!!!

Good Morning,

I have been MIA I must admit I have been spending time over at the CPN Network (Children's Party Network). But I have decided that this blog is also important and is in need of a little TLC. I have been really busy the last few weeks and so that has also contributed to my lack of post. Today I wanted to give you a few updates of what is coming up...

Last weekend I worked on a Bacyardigans and Miami Heat parties pics coming soon!!!!
Next weekend is a Hollywood Movie Theme can't wait for this party!!!
I just completed two Explosion Boxes a Jimmy Buffett Birthday Box and a Blue & White Soccer themed box for a grandma who turned 91.
I am also working on some Halloween cards & treat bags for my upcoming party and styling an amazing dessert table for my party!!!!

And on a final note as we all know the Holidays are coming there are going to plenty of Holiday Gifts/projects.
Plus a very special project I am working on for the CPN and a Challenge.

So please stay tuned I might even have a special challenge here at AIH I look forward to getting back to blogging and making friends.

Happy Crafting

CD Purse Holder (Guest Designer)

Hello,

Today I want to share with you a very cute project that was made by my friend Melissa B of Melissa B Photography. She is the one who got me hooked on the cricut 2 years ago when she made some favor tags for a baby shower I was working on. Since then I have been in heaven with my cricut. Last week we where talking on the phone and she mentioned she had done a CD purse holder for her niece. When she sent me the picture I knew I had to share this is just to cute not to show.  What I like more about this project is the fact that she is mixing her Photography and her crafts all in one.

Hope you enjoy!!!

Pink & Brown Baby Shower - Inspiration

Good Morning.

Happy Friday to all.... Today I wanted to share with you guys the amazing Pink & Brown It's a Girl Babyshower I had last weekend. This is by far one of my favorite parties yet. It was simple yet elegant at the same time and the hostess was amazing. And the rec room in which the shower was held was also amazing and it helped to tied the entire shower together. The color pallette was perfect for this occasion and I have very happy with the final product.

Pink Baby Shower Favors

Good Morning,

So like I mention before I have been a busy little bee lately... With so many parties in the works its a miracle I find time to sleep. Today I wanted to share a project I did for someone who was referred to me through a friend. There wasn't a theme I was just told to do something pink and girly and here is what it looked like when it was done.

I cut a box using TBBM and my Cricut
I added an umbrella and Stroller from the Potpourri Cartirdge.
I added a stickle effect and rinestones on the umbrella and also the stroller.
I completed the box with shredded paper for the filling and vellum tags with the Baby Shower info.

Hope you enjoy!!!

Sorry for my lack of posting, I have been super busy and I couldn't be happier. While I continue to craft it's more for parties. I have a few parties that I am currently planning and so that is taking up alot of my time. There is so much to do for a party no matter how big or small. The last few weeks I have been living, eating and sleeping parties.

This theme is one of my favorites so far the colors are cool the decor is fab and when it all comes together I think I'm going to be amazed.

I have taken my love for cardmaking, scrapbooking and altered items and combined them into my party planning. I have been super busy putting together party packs, creating party favors for clients, cards for individuals and also preparing for the opening of my ETSY store that will carry alot of the designs you will be seeing on this site. I created this special table in honor of my new project. All desserts where done by me. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to leave a comment I always love to hear what everyone thinks.

CANDY TABLES & PARTY FAVORS

Hello,

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted. This month has been quite busy between celebrate my birthday and the 4 of July all together. Also I got an order for party favors Noah's Ark that I had to complete and working at my job it's been pretty busy.

For those who not aware I am a part time party planner. I love doing parties and creating scenes and setting the moods. I think it truly is the one thing I am passionate about and enjoy doing. For me planning a party is like being in a movie. I can create whatever mood or setting a client wants and always making sure that when they step into the party they are stepping into my vision and there own. So today I wanted to share with you a very special party. It is my cousin's baby shower this was from last year but I loved planing this shower and it turned out amazing. This shower was the first time I had done a full party by myself. I had done party favors and decorations before but never and entire party. I also have worked lots of parties with other event planners so I had that experience. The theme was lady bugs and back then they weren't and still aren't a very popular theme so I really had to design this from scratch. We decided the colors first and then went to work. It was done in my cousin's back yard so the Garden element was present. I also incorporated every color she wanted down to the flowers. I created a candy table complete with chocolate fountain and all kinds of fruit. I had ladybug cookies made and even chocolate ladybugs lolipops. In the end it was magical she enjoyed it and that is what matters.

So I included some pictures so you can enjoy and get some inspiration. I hope you will enjoy. If you would like to know more about AIH's party planning tips and ideas just email me @ adventuresinheels@gmail.com.
