Party Hats

Monday, July 18th, 2011

Kelly B is amazing.

Go visit her blag for the best collection of home made party hats.

Cone styled, Tiara’s, Crowns, and Headbands.

We typically see party hats at children’s birthday parties.  But, hats are so much fun to wear.  I say, why not go “British” and expand the party hat decoration to other celebrations. Try making the guest of honor at a bridal or baby shower a special tiara, or make your teenager a fancy headband to wear to school on her birthday.  I also love the idea of getting a bunch of girlfriends together for a hat making party.  You can throw a bunch of random supplies on a table and get to work creating.We have so many reasons to celebrate!  Handmade party hats are a great way to spice up any of life’s celebrations.

Kelly was featured on KSL Studio 5 showing off her new party hats. Go here to watch Trend Alert Hip Party Hats

How to Scrapbook for Beginners

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Scrapbooking has been around for decades. I remember my grandmother had a picture history book that was 4 or 5 inches thick.  People from all walks of life have discovered the joys of creating albums to showcase their treasured photos and keepsakes. But with all the elaborate scrapbooking techniques and myriad embellishments available, getting started can be intimidating.

The truth is, anyone that can use scissors and glue can scrapbook. And you don’t have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to create attractive pages. With some basic supplies and a little imagination, you can create lovely scrapbooks that will be adored for years to come. I made my first granddaughter a scrapbook of the first year of her life. She looks through almost every time she comes to my house.

I suggest you start with just the basics to see if you enjoy scrapbooking. If you don’t have the time, money or know-how to create elaborate scrapbooks, just start off simple, and learn new techniques as you go.

If you have ever wanted to try your hand at scrapbooking now is your time. There is no wrong way to do it. Just follow these steps and have fun. Click here to let the creation begin!
