Quick and Easy Lollipop Favor & Video

Here is a quick and cute favor I made this weekend.  I was in need of adding a little treat to my Teacher Appreciation bags, wanted to make it simple and came up with this.  I think it is a great way to do an easy, but still cute favor.  Or, a good favor to make when you have little time or need to mass produce.  I also made some of these for a baby shower a couple weeks ago, too! 

Here is a 2 minute video on how to create it. 

Throw a Party: #1

Welcome to my Throw a Party Week!

Yesterday, we celebrated my baby girl's seventh birthday party!  She is a little mini me when it comes to paper crafts and loves all the little details that make a party pretty ;) So, I am always compelled to make lots of little details to make her parties special. 

So this week I'll be showcasing all the little details I did for the party. 

Sunday- Invitation: Slide Out Moving Card and my first blog video!!

Tuesday- Goodie Boxes

Thursday- Birthday Banner and video #2!!

So here is the card and video on how to make it.  Read on if you want to hear the WHOLE story ;)

My first blog video (I'm no tech expert, but thought I'd give it a shot):

 

 

Here is the WHOLE story.  My daughter and I were brainstorming a birthday party location and theme.  I suggested Safetyville USA, a local place in Rancho Cordova, CA.  It's a mini town that kids can play in and safely walk and ride bikes.  It is really cute!  We went to check it out and she loved it.  Secretly, in the back of my mind, I thought...oh, I can use that cute Cycle Celebration stamp set that was in the new SU catalog.  But, yes she loved it too.  THEN, I went to convention and received a cute motorcycle swap card (shown in video) and thought....OMG, I can make a moving bike invitation!  I was in love and so excited to get home and make it.  (I always get the best ideas at Convention!).  So there it is!  Yes, stamps play a key role in my life!!! LOL

Come back and check out the rest of my goodies!
