Goonies Party!!

So for starters I am sooooooo in love with my party theme! I am a total child of the 80's!  And the party turned out just like I envisioned!  So I thought I'd give you a run down of all the little special touches that made this a rockin Goonies party!

First of all, no movie night would be complete without a movie marquee!  You can find an extremely cool tutorial on how to make it from Jordan at Oh Happy Day!  I just love the way mine turned out so THANKS JORDAN!!

I took the two pictures above the night before the party to make sure it was all working and looked great.  There was no wind that night.  However, on the night of the party it was a bit windy so I had to improvise and lean it against the fence. It still looked fantastic and I didn't have to worry about it blowing away!

Next, a movie night would not be complete without a concession stand!

A very special thanks to Audrey over at Sweet Cheek Tasty Treats for A LOT of these ideas!  As many of you know, I am not a baker so I was pretty pleased with myself for turning oreo truffles into Sloth cake pops! I did a trial run a few weeks before and then tried to improve it a bit the night before the party! I am SOOO happy how they turned out!  You'll also notice a lot of similar cake pop tags and signage.  I used her designs as the basis and scrapped them to my hearts content!  After all, you can't have a sloth without a "Hey, You guys!"

 The Candy Bar

 The Treats....Rich Stuff!

POPCORN!

 I had plain popcorn as well as some pre-made bags of Rocky Road popcorn.

My cake! Another thing I am sooooo proud of! I found the pirate box on top when I went to visit my family in Florida.  The skeleton key and token are sugar cookies I shaped and painted. Then I made a ton of edible hard candy jewels and used some pearlized sixlets as well.  And of course, what Goonies cake would be completely without Data's Pinchers of Power!

Then of course we needed drinks.  There were plenty of non-alcoholic beverages (sodas, water, etc) as well as some signature cocktails for the more adventurous!

 Pirate Boat Jello Shots

Baby Ruth Shooters

And very delicious (sorry for the blurry picture) pre-made mason jar drinks!

Cherry Limeade and a Ocean Blue Breeze!

Finally, since this was an evening party and I wanted to make sure everyone left full and happy so I laid out a spread of portable friendly food.

From Left to Right: Single serve 7 layer dip with pre-bagged chips, pre-packaged silverware with napkin and salt and pepper, Soft pretzels with queso blanco dip, bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers, ham & swiss sliders, chicken & cheese taquitos, pre-packaged hotdogs, and fruit cups.

 Thanks for checking out my party. If you have any questions about anything I did, feel free to ask!

November Color Challenge Freebie!

Boy did I get bit by the bug!! I was downloading some freebies when I came across a color challenge hosted at scrapmatters by KimB!

A little freebie…

Hi All! Well as you can probably figure out on your own I have been MIA for awhile.  My life is always an adventure! And this newest one has brought us to the North East! Yep! I’m a Yankee now!
To fill you in, we  moved up this way for my DH’s work the first August. It was a crazy few weeks! Packing, having my DD’s spa sleepover birthday the weekend before the big move, making the drive and move from h-e-double hockey sticks! (seriously rained out, 3 flat tires, insane!!)  But we are settling in pretty well here.  I am soooo not ready for snow (well except for the cool scrapbook pages I’ll be able to do)! But I guess that will be just another adventure!

In the meantime, I have been cleaning out my computer and external drive and came across a little alpha I thought you might like. It’s another good one for many different layouts.  Hope you enjoy it!

You can download it HERE!!
Enjoy! And I hope to be back soon with some more goodies!
