Green Bay Packers greeting cards



I put together this card as a "Merry Christmas, we're going to the Packers game!" gift. Using green glitter paper, create a field with white lines and end zones with gold squares. The big Green Bay "G" was created by hand using a t-shirt as a guideline.
For the back of the card, I had to put a piece of cheese to represent "Cheeseheads" in the state of Wisconsin. Go Pack Go!

(really, Skol Vikings though!!)

Trivia Bingo and Madlibs


Shower Libs- Fill in your own verbs, nouns, body parts and feelings to change the love story of the bride and groom
No matter the template, filling in the blanks can really lead to a knee slapping story

Trivia Bingo is a great way to get to know the bride and groom in a challenging environment
For a wedding shower last month, I put together a few shower games. The bride is a big fan of mad libs, trivia games and bingo so I used these three games to comes up with a few. 

Catwoman Mask


For halloween, I attempted to make a homemade masquerade mask. I was going for a combo look of Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises (2012) and Lee Meriwether in The Batman Movie (1966). 

In order to make this look, you will need a mask, black paint (if mask isn't already black), black glitter (both fine and thick), spray adhesive, black rhinestones, and a glue gun.


I started with a plain white mask that I picked up at Michaels for $1.99. I liked this mask the best because it mimicked Lee Meriwether's mask the best.  I painted the mask black. Allow the mask to dry completely.


While using a spray adhesive, coat the mask evenly in a well ventilated area. Apply a light dusting of glitter. Shake off the excessive glitter. Repeat 2-3 times with both fine and thick glitter to give it a good look.  Allow to dry completely for a couple of hours.


After mask is completely dry, apply black rhinestones around eyes and edges to give a more detailed look. 


Complete your catwoman outfit with cat ears, leggings, and black boots. A simple, homemade outfit that ready for a night on the town.
