Birthdays

Birthdays have been on my mind.  Maybe that's because my special day is coming soon!  =O)  I usually buy little birthday cards or certificates but I decided that I wanted to make some of my own to go along with my theme.  These are the postcards for girls and I made some too for the boys. Click below the link below the picture to download the postcards.



I also found an adorable idea that I just had to make for my kiddos' birthdays.  I found the idea on this awesome blog:




I made my birthday balloons using the small Pixy Stix because I'm really trying to stick to a budget this school year. The total cost of this project was only $1!  I bought the Pixy Stix at Dollar Tree and used paper and other materials that I already had at home.  I think they turned out great and can't wait to give them to my kiddos!

  5. I think that using the smaller pixie sticks is a great idea! Did you cut the balloons from your cricut? They look nice!

  6. Thanks Melissa! I did use my Cricut for the balloons but I saw some little cutouts at Dollar Tree that could work if you don't have a Cricut.

  10. Hi Marellda, I didn't write anything on the back. I give them little cards that I write a note on.
