Spring Bridal Shower

My bestie is getting married!! We threw her a wine tasting spring shower. We tasted 6 white wines as our "game." It was a beautiful spring day! Here are a few pictures!

I made the invites in Silhouette, printed them at home on card stock, and added this beautiful lace from Hobby Lobby.

Little White Dress

My BFF, Erica, recently got engaged.  When I went to visit her in the fine city of DODGE. I took her a little gift of wine and bridal magazines.  I had to cutesy up the wine. I will give my sister Jackie credit for this idea!

This is the bottle of wine before. Little Black Dress

I used a Sharpie to color out the black part.

I visited my favorite store, and hit up the 40% off sticker sale, to get a white dress and some white glitter stickers to add to the bottle.

Funny Tea Towels

My friends and I have made it a tradition to visit the Holiday Mart every year.  This year, I was sure to take notes on the, "Hey I can make that" stuff.  I came home with a list of things! One of the easiest were these cute tea towels.

When I was at Target, I found them 4 for $3.99. I snagged a package to try it out.  I designed the towels on my Silhouette software, and then mirrored them.  Then I printed them on iron on transfer paper that I have had for a few years.

Then I cut out as much of the white space as I could, and ironed them on to the towels! Super easy, and it only cost me $4 to make 4 towels.

They were $10 each at the Holiday Mart! Now I need to think of some more creative sayings to put on them. I think they will make great gifts!

Wine Bottles

A perfect gift for my friends! We love wine! I used the Cricut to cut out words and "scrapbooked" on the wine bottles.  

Wine Bottle Jack-O-Lanterns

I saw these cute little guys on Pinterest last year.  I really wanted to make them, because I knew that I would have wine bottles to spare.  I cleaned out the wine bottles, and used goo-gone to get the labels off.  Then, I bought orange acrylic paint and squirted it in the bottles.  I shook it up (with a paper towel as my new cork).  I added a hint of water to make sure it got spread around. I rolled back and forth. It does take a while for the paint to dry, if you put a lot.  I have been "rolling" mine for 3 days now and the paint is still not dry.  Finally, I cut out black vinyl for the faces and stuck them on there! Easy! My bottles that I chose already had green tops, so I didn't have to do anything to them. You could tie a ribbon to them.

You could do it on wine bottles that have not been used, and give them as gifts. That's what they did on the original idea! http://www.instructables.com/id/Wine-bottle-jack-o-lanterns/
