This year we combined the birthday party. It was at a trampoline park. It was wonderful and enough room for everyone to be in their own space. The boys spent a lot of time playing dodge ball and basketball while the girls were busy doing all sorts of gymnastics.
The one theme they could agree on was a Parrot theme. I know it's a stretch but just imagine the bird jumping. Our parrots hop sometimes. Anyway... I told you it was a stretch.
I drew the parrots in Adobe Illustrator with some inspiration from the web. They are supposed to be a cartoon version of Kiwi and Mambo. Close enough, right?
I then opened them in the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software - which I use because I wanted to create my own .svg images and use the print and cut feature. I then printed them on the sticker paper using my HP printer.
Next they needed to be cut. After running them through my Silhouette Cameo, I pealed the birds off the paper.
And I stuck them to some lillipop sticks by Wilton that I picked up at Michael's craft store the other day.
And I added them to the cupcakes that I baked and decorated myself. Simple and much less expensive than the local bakery and I'm blessed to have the time at home to do all this.
How cut is that, and quite a unique theme. I'm a big scrapbooker. I may have to check out that software.
