Lions and Tigers and Brides...oh my!

So, it's been a little while now since my bridal shower, which was a Wizard of Oz theme! It's my favorite movie, so I just had to. I tried to make and come up with ideas that weren't directly just pictures of the movie or what not, so I made most of my decorations, because everywhere I looked there were just pictures of dorothy and the other characters. I just wanted things to be represented.

This is my maid of honor (left) and me (right). We wanted to look like Dorothy, so we wore our blue and white plaid shirts, also red shoes, but you can't see them.

The basket represents Dorothy, I added and blue and white ribbon to it to represent her dress. The poppies I found at Wal-mart, the big one in the basket, I made. You can't see it very well, but it's pretty big.

Here is the "Lollipop Shoppe" based off of the Lollipop Guild. Everyone received "lollipop" soap as a favor and I tried to make cookie pops, some turned out, but they aren't ideal for mass production when you're on limited time!

Here is the lollipop tree I made...

I really wanted this area to be as colorful and mis-matched, because Munchkin Land was very colorful.

This represents the lion, tin man, and scarecrow...

Ruby red slippers of course! I bought some white heels at Goodwill, painted them red and black, and covered them with red glitter. I looove them!

The Emerald City...

Wedding Goodies (pt. 3)

It's been awhile since I've posted anything. I've been lazy...oh well. I've got another addition to the wedding details done! It's coming along!!! I made our card box....

Look What I Made!

Head on over to Creations by Kara for a linky party!!!

Valentine's frame

This is kind of cheesy and not that elaborate, but I had these jewels that I found that I'm sure I've had for years upon years. So, I decided to put them to use and since they were all V-day colors, I wanted to make a frame. So, I headed to old faithful -- Dollar Tree! I bought this black frame...

Then added my leftover jewels...

And yes, that's right...it's Joey McIntyre of NKOTB!! My friends and I went to their concert last summer and it was amazing. I just had to put this picture in here. HAHA! Love it!

Fourth of July candles

Here I've made some July 4th candles using Dollar Tree religious candles, a paper placemat, and some paper twist. This set me back a whopping $2!

Here are the candles I used, I have 2 smaller ones that I need to figure out what to do with, I want them to compliment these, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do quite yet.

The paper placemats...

I Mod Podged the paper onto the candles...

Then lastly, I added a paper twist accent.

I really like how these turned out and it was extremely cheap and easy! =]

Natural wall art

I saw something like this on one of those home improvement shows about 4 or 5 years ago. I printed it off from the website and had it tucked away for when I actually moved out on my own. So, about a year ago I got to re-create this wall art that I had been storing away. Now it's hanging in our bedroom, it would've been so bare without it. There were no instructions, but it was so simple to make. I used natural branches from Hobby Lobby and some floral wire. That's it! Just lay your branches out however you want and start tying the intersections together so the whole piece is sturdy. I absolutely love it, it was easy and is a great piece in our room! =]

Cricut!

I want a Cricut so bad. About 2 years ago I told my mom I wanted one for Christmas, but then told her I didn't! I should have never done that!!! There are so many things I want to make with that thing!!! Oh Cricut fairy, come to my rescue!!! =]
