Owl Push Pops

So this is how I decorated for the Owl Push Pops for Jessica's Birthday.

I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up several pretty complementing Scrapbooking papers (12x12").

 

I cut them into 3" strips like this:

Then I cut the 3"x12" strip in half and secured them in the back with tape.  (each piece measured 3" wide and 6" long)

I found the owl cliparts on Etsy

Next I made the round Owl templates at www.avery.com using their Avery product #22807 template on their Online design option for the 2" round stickers ( (as I do not have MS Word on my laptop).... it was easy peasy.  It even saves it online so you can go back and edit it later ...just make sure you look for your saved work at the bottom of the page where it HIDES.

NOW... my advice to you... go and buy the stickers at Wally Mart or Office Depot... it will save you a lot of time.  But... for me I was on a VERY tight budget...so hand cut each and every one of the stinkers...oh well, it killed time while working graveyard lol.

Next I glued the round owls to a piece of scrapbook paper and cut around it with the scallop scissors I got from Hobby lobby for $1.99.   For you fancy folks.... a cricut would be excellent at this point.

Lastly I glued the entire piece to the Push Pop and voila!

Supplies needed
12x12 scrap book paper, your design
tape
scissors
Avery round 2" stickers (or your scissors)
glue stick


Now you can fill it with candy or cake or anything you like!.... mine will have mixed fruit or M& M's.

Look Whoooo's 8!

In June is my youngest baby's birthday...ohhh how the time passes quickly.  You new mamas... make sure you document EVERYTHING.  I wish I had.. it seems as my mind gets older...so my memories disappear.  I kid my hubby that I have early onset of Dementia lol.

So with this... I am documenting my sweet Jessica's 8th birthday. 

Jessica is a bit of a comical girl.... she is OBSESSED with Eyeballs.  The Bigger the Better!!  She swears she wants to be a Dentist, but I think she's going to be an Optometrist.  So what better way to have a birthday than with BIG Eyed OWLS!!

It all started with an invitation I found on Etsy from Christine at Babyfables.  Here is where it all begins:

Then of course I had to start making some fun things for the party... (I started in April and I'm planning for June... if I don't it will never get done!)
So I found these push pops at Decopac: http://www.decopac.com/detail_15737__5-374.html 
I have a business account with them, but you can find these on Ebay, Amazon and online under "Push Pops" or "Cake Pops".

So I began my adventure to make these:....
