Christmas Sleepover with Party Details from WeR Memory Keepers

We're headed to Iowa for Christmas vacation with the family soon. I'm so excited, this will be the first time we'll be home for Christmas in a couple years. I'm excited for Ava to spent Christmas with her cousins and extended family. 

Christmas is a amazing season to spend with family and friends. A time to share love and laughter and make memories. As my children get older and more into what Christmas is all about it becomes more and more fun sharing this season with them. 

I've been a brand ambassador for Lifestyle Crafts for a while now, and I will now be apart of their Lifestyle Studios teams specializing in the party decor portion. So, I'm excited to be sharing different projects every month using some of their awesome tools and accessories. 

Today I'm teaming up with my friend Destiny from the blog A Place for Us and sharing with you this adorable Christmas sleepover you can easily put together for your little ones. Perfect for sharing with little cousins or play date friends.

Grab your blankets, books and pillows and set the scene under this adorable handmade tent. I made this tent for my family pictures a few weeks back, we also use it and have it set up in our home. Ava loves to read books in there and play. If you would like to purchase one, you can here.  photo ChristmasSleepover10_zps31f3c34a.jpg
With some simple supplies from around the house you can set up your own Christmas Sleepover too! Plus I'm going to show you some products from We R that you can use to create some special details.   photo ChristmasSleepover11_zpsbe1dd655.jpg

I used the food tray die to make these little trays to hold sugar cookies in. I simply used the die and cut the shapes and then folded on the lines and used the Sticky Thumb Adhesive to keep it glued together.

Fun tip, add some syrup to the rim of your bottle and dip it in sprinkles or sugar for a fun and festive garnish.

I also used the snowflake die to make these snowflake wraps and put them around the glass bottles. These glass bottles are just empty Starbucks Frap bottles that I've cleaned and saved to re use. They have come in really handy. Destiny made these adorable drink flags to go with. Check them out here.

With a few little elements you can create a magical setting for your little ones. Snuggle up and grab a few books while enjoying your snacks under the tent.

Birthday Party Inspirations + Minted.com

I love a good party! And the best parties always start with inspiration, don't they?! I love being inspired by something to create a really fun party. I usually always draw my ideas for parties either from decor I see, color pallets, nature, magazines or from something that person likes.

I'm currently planning Ava's third birthday and a party for Orion as he completes his master's degree in May. A new year always brings a fresh new wind of party season. After I get inspired by something, I immediately start searching for the best invitations.

To me invitations set the tone for your party. They are the first thing people see so you want to give them an idea of what the party will be about through them.

Not only does Minted have a great selection of wedding invitations that they are known for but they have a great selection of invitations for all occasions. I headed to Minted.com for some inspiration. For Ava's party I decided on a "pink" party, it's her favorite color. I decided to throw in some gold, silver and white because I love the combination of those colors together.



I also love the idea of adding some rustic touches into the mix like brown kraft paper, and burlap like you see here in this wedding inspiration board.



See what I mean about silver, white and gold! You could do a Christmas theme like this board or you can use it for your little girls' birthday party, baby showers too. Such fun colors, I really like them I think they are classic and girly without being to over the top. Add a splash of pink and it's instantly girlie enough.
