You will want to make sure you visit ALL the blogs, become our followers and leave a comment on ALL blogs to be eligible to win the grand prices!!! For those of you who do not know me, I have been designing and creating greeting cards for 14 months.  I love what I do and I hope to have a career in the field of design one day.  Blogging and posting is so much fun and I love getting the chance to work alongside so many talented and creative crafters.  You are all such an inspiration to me:)

For today's blog hop, I decided to make a photo frame that could be given out as a special treat to every guest who attends a child's birthday party.  It could also be made by the party guest while s/he is at your child's party (with your help!)

This is what each party guest starts with:

1. A blank photo mat that you can buy at the craft store.  

2. The letters to spell out "Friends Forever." cut from the Robotz Cricut cartridge (cut at 1.5")

3. Two aliens- cut from the Robotz Cricut cartridge- (large one cut at 5", small one cut at 1.75")

4. Wire to hang the finished project, two additional pieces of wire.

 Help each child attach the aliens using whatever adhesive you prefer.  These were attached using an ATG gun and Zig Two Way Glue.

 Next, add the words "Friends Forever" using whatever adhesive you prefer.  These words were attached using Zig Two Way Glue.  Once the words were attached,  I stitched around the letters to add a shadowing effect.

Next, help the party guest attach the wire pieces that you have bent into fun shapes for added interest.  They can be placed into the empty spaces like you see in the photo.  The last piece of wire is used as a hanger and is hot glued to the back of the photo mat.

All that is left is to take a picture of the party guest with the birthday boy (or girl), print them out, and attach them to the center of the photo mat.  While the kids are off having fun you can assemble the pictures and frames and have them ready to hand out to the guests as they are ready to leave the party:) What a great way to remember the day! 

This photo is actually a picture of my brother Dalton and his friend Michael.  Dalton is on the left.  Who would have thought that the little blonde guy eating his hamburger in that photo would grow up to be a sailor in the US Navy:) 

Remember, to be eligible for our prizes, you must hop to each of the stops on the blog hop, make sure you become a follower of each blog, and leave a comment while you are there.  It is as easy as that:)
