Hi! 

A couple of weeks ago I showed you the Ninjago themed invitations my son and I made for his birthday party.  His friends loved them and ours has been in pride of place on the fridge ever since. 

On the weekend I was looking for ideas for lolly bags and other things for his party. The party is on Saturday and I have approximately zero hours of free time between now and then, so any ideas needed to be quick and easy!

If you google “free Ninjago printables”, you will get lots of options for printing off Ninjago eyes in a range of different sizes. A few minutes today with a printer, some scissors and a glue runner and Ta Da!!  I present to you, “white ninja” lolly bags:

   

Add some mini eyes on white label stickers, and voila! Blue ninja water bottles for each child: 



Most glueing and sticking was lovingly done by Mr Soon-to-be-six himself. 

My next challenge is Ninjago cupcakes for the party.  Stay tuned! 

Thanks for reading.

We’ve spent this afternoon making birthday invitations for my son’s upcoming birthday party.  He decided on Ninjago invitations (for those not up with small boys, that is a type of Lego based on ninjas!) His favourite Ninjago is Kai “the red guy”. 

 
I had a grand vision for how these might look, but then had to tone it down to match the vision of the birthday boy.  Which is after all the point (allegedly!!)

I was planning on using the top note die to get a nice curve on the yellow mask top and bottom, making the eye brows from the branch of the bird punch as the eye brows, and layering black and white circles from the owl punch for the eyes.   However small boy was most insistent that we should draw the eyes and eyebrows ourselves, and it turns out that dropping liquid paper onto the eye balls to make the whites of the eyes is super fun when you’re 5!!

So, here they are in all their glory. Perhaps not as glossy as I’d planned, but made with love by the birthday boy 🙂 

  

Next challenge: Ninjago cup cakes for the big day.  Red icing anyone? 😉

Thanks for reading.

Btw I cut the yellow strips with one of the labels from chalk talk framelits.   I was very happy with the pretty rounded edges but he decided they should all be chopped off!

Hello!   Sorry it has been such a long time between posts.  Life just gets busy!  In my last post I showed you the card I made for my Frozen obsessed son’s 5th birthday.  I’m pleased to report he loved it 🙂

Today I want to show you the invitations I made for his birthday party.  He wanted a dress up party, but he (and I!) were going as super heroes, so he wanted to have super hero themed party invitations.   So here’s what I came up with – super hero owls!

They looked pretty cute all lined up together:

Super hero owls Here are a few pictures of how I put the owls together.   Basically I just used various colours cut from the owl punch, and the yellow belts are made from the word window punch.

Super owl - just needs goggly eyes!

Put them all together and you get some cute little super heroes!

I have to say I was a little sick of making owls by the end of this process though!

Rugby “Jesse Mogg” birthday card

Hello!

A while ago I showed you the invitations I made for my rugby obsessed little boy’s rugby themed birthday party.    The party was a great success and he had a ball.

He told me he wanted a Jesse Mogg birthday card (for those of you – most of you! – who have no idea who Jesse Mogg is, he plays for the Brumbies, my son’s favourite team)

Here is my effort:

I used a paper cut out doll from a 2 dollar shop and coloured in the Brumbies colours.  Jesse Mogg is number 15.   A large oval punch substituted for a rugby ball shape – and he was very pleased with the end result!

In case any of you ever have to host a rugby/sports themed birthday party, I had a brain wave and turned a piece of green felt into a “field” table cloth:

A few straws, some masking tape and some blu tak and we had some goal posts:

I also have to show you the cake – I don’t even want to tell you how long it took to colour the blue icing and cut out all the letters!  My hands looked like Smurf hands by the end of it!

Still – he had a *ball* (groan!) so all the effort was worth it in the end 🙂

Thanks for reading
