The Dinosaurs are coming...

For those of you who have been following regularly, know that i am having a dinosaur themed birthday party at the end of this month.  Let me tell you how excited he is! Everyday he asks if his birthday is today it is so cute but becoming a bit annoying.
He has loved dinosaurs for well over a year and probably has some where around 30 different ones.  Plastic ones, robotic ones, sound ones, little ones, big ones and even ones that walk and roar.  And yes he does play with all of them.
So about six months ago i decided he should have a dinosaur party for his fourth birthday.  I have made the banners from dinosaur paper and plastic bone, invitations, feet for the floor, we are going to have face painting, a dinosaur dig, a dinosaur t-rexcavator (like operation the game but dinosaur bones) and a dinosaur creation table.  I cant wait to start decorating hopefully in about a week.
So here are his invites and i have had many great comments.  Ethan decided there had to be three different colors.  Blue of course as that is his favorite color. Green because all dinosaurs are green. And pink for the girls.


So here they are.  Fitting since he is my little loveosaurus!

I am entering this into the following challenges:
1. Crafting for all seasons - Costume/dress up
2.Crafts and me - anything goes
3. Divas by design - anything goes
4. Nutcrafters - Paper piecing

First time using fondant

I am a little disappointed i have not had any scrapping time this week.  But due to being sick all week i just have not had any energy to do anything anyways.
I still have seven more tutu's to go so hopefully i can get back to my scraproom soon.
My daughter was at her pre kindergarten class yesterday afternoon for two and a half hours so i decided to work on some sea creatures  from fondant.  A friend of mine asked if i could make her daughters cupcakes for her birthday this weekend so i gladly excepted.  She said she wanted fish and sharks and octopus.  So i thought i would try fondant  for the first time.  Must say it was pretty easy to work with.  I made these cute creatures in just under 3 hours.  I still have seaweed to make and some other sea life.  I should be able to share the pictures with you on Sunday.
My daughters birthday is in six weeks and she is having a ballerina party so i might end up making tutu's from fondant.  If any one has any great design ideas let em know.
Finally the weekend is here so enjoy your Friday!
