My Granddaughters 1st Yr. B-day Party !!!

Hello Peeps :) Sorry it took me so long, but I am finally having some free time to post to my site here... I have many projects, and ideas to share with you.... First of all here are some pics of my granddaughter Amaya's 1st B-day party I hosted at my home... She had 2 big parties, I went ahead and went with a Butterfly & Flower theme, her other party was Minnie Mouse themed :) If you notice in the first pic, I made the cupcake toppers... Stamped a lg. butterfly along with some flowers, cut them out and glued them to mini Popsicle sticks... they really made the cupcakes stand out. Part of the party decor was scrapbook pages made by me of my granddaughter from birth to throughout her months before turning the BIG 1 :) I created the Candy Buffet table myself too, making my own decorations, and lil quote sayings... again I added butterfly cutouts from my stamps, and popped them up here & there... It turned out really nice and most of all Bright & Colorful, just the way I wanted, and just as my granddaughter has given me... A Brighter Life :) Thanks for stopping by... There are more projects to follow :) HAPPY STAMPIN... BEC :)

Someone Special is turning 1 ......

So me (Grandma) decided to go all out .... Plus it's my first grandchild, so why not right ??? My granddaughter will be turning 1 in about a week and we are celebrating her Big Day this coming Saturday..... I have been planning this event for months now and coming up with ideas on the Decor, Party Favors, The Cake, The Cupcakes, The Centerpeices, The Candy Store Table, The Food, & not to mention Her Outfit :) The theme I decided on was Butterflies & Flowers, in Bright Pinks, Apple Greens and Light Lavenders... I am blessed that I can put so much time in making my granddaughters event special. Even though she will not remember this special day, there will be a video on CD, and many scrapbook pages of all the family, friends & decor for her to look back upon and realize how special she is & loved by her Grandma :) Her babyshower was wonderful, but the decor will not be close to what I am creating this Saturday... Here are just some party favors I have created, the first pic is the cupcake toppers, the wreath was made by my mother, then there are decorative tealight packages, sticky note decorative holders and candy cone holders..... I will be posting more pics soon with more party decor :) HAPPY STAMPIN .... BEC

Minnie Mouse Cupcake Toppers :)

Hello Scrappin Peeps :) So I have been asked to come up with a Minnie Mouse themed cupcake topper for my granddaughters party coming up soon... And well Wala !!! Here it is :) I made 50 of them... She will be having 2 parties to celebrate her little self turning the BiG 1 :)... The party I am hosting will be Bright Flowers & Butterflies... So keep on a look out here on my Blog for pics of all the decor I will be creating.... The Minnie Mouse silhouette here uses 2 diff. size circle punches from Stampin Up as the ears & face... I also used the 2 diff. scallop circle punches from Stampin Up... Added some Silver stickles and a red/black thin grosgrain ribbon as her little bow.... and glued a Popsicle stick to the back with ( Zip Dry) glue, sold in scrapbook stores... I love this stuff, it's clear and dries so fast and sticks on great !!! Thanks for stoppin by... HAPPY SCRAPPIN... BEC :)

OK.... I THINK I HAD ENOUGH CAKE :)

This is my Sweet lil Granddaughter Amaya :) I am in the process of makin her 1 yr. birthday party invites and wanted to add a pic inside... So I had my mother make a small round cake.... As you can see Amaya did more than just pose with her cake.... She made a big hole in it.... I guess she needs a lil more time to learn how to get her food only into her mouth :) LOL !!! She loved it and had a great time during this photo shoot.... After taking about 50 pics, I did find the perfect one to go in invite... Thanks for stopping by :) HAPPY STAMPIN.... BEC *

A Gift for a Friend :)

Hello Stampin Peeps :) This is a small lil gift package I made for a friend to add to her babyshower gift. This package comes with 6 mini thank you notecards with matching envelopes... I used Pretty In Pink & Chocolate Chip ink along with the same color cardstock. The border punch adds a touch to make the package look a little on the elegant side :) It is the Scallop Trim Border punch from Stampin UP $15.95 .... If your interested in this punch just email me at beckrodriguez209@yahoo.com or rrodriguez@ccombank.com :) HAPPY STAMPIN.... BEC *

I know I do :) If you would like the instructions to make these cute lil handbags, send me an e-mail at rrodriguez@ccombank.com and I will be gladly to forward them to you...HAPPY STAMPIN..... BEC *

My Little Princess :)

Hello Scrapbookin Peeps :) Here are some Scrapbook pages I created of my Granddaughter Amaya who is now 10 months... I created them while I was on vacation from work for 2 weeks.... it's been a while since I had scrapbooked so I had to get back into the groove of things... LOL !!! But once I did, I scrapped for two with my Mother... We had a blast and got allot done :) What I really enjoying doing is makin or creatin my own embellishments to lay on the page.... For instance on this first page here I created my own tag, saying irresistable Sweet, Priceless and the #5 square tag... Something like these would cost you $5 at a scrapbook store, you save lots of money by creating your own.... and they come out just as nice, maybe even better :) LOL... Don't you think so??? Hoping these pages brought you some inspirations to get scrappin :) HAPPY SCRAPPIN OR STAMPIN... BEC *
