copycat

Whenever people tell me I'm creative, it makes me laugh.  Because the truth is, I'm not very creative!  I'm just good at copying.  Example: Chloe's ombre dresser was a complete copy of images from Pinterest.

I spent this weekend getting ready for Chloe's "Adventure Time" themed birthday party next Sunday, and my copying skills were in full force.  Here's a few things I worked on, along with the inspiration photos that I 100% copied.

First, I bought a bunch of pink, blue, and yellow fabric to make bunting.  (I chose these colors because Finn is blue, Jake is yellow, and Princess Bubblegum is pink...duh.)

I was inspired by my friend Brooke's bunting that she made for her son's birthday party, shown here.

And now, my version!  I made lots and lots of it.  I plan to put it at the dessert table, and outside around the deck.  And maybe some over the front door. (I hope those creases come out!)

 The next idea I copied was these Jake favor bags.

The party supply store didn't have a pack of just yellow bags, so I had to go with a few other colors.  And my freehand drawing of Jake isn't amazing, so don't laugh!

I also found these really cute food labels on Pinterest, which I just had to copy!

I ordered these stickers from Etsy, and then attached them to skewers. I still need to print and attach the actual labels.

I was also inspired by the coloring pages that Sherry drew for her daughter's birthday party.

So of course I had to copy that idea, and make my own!

The last project I worked on was a Finn pinata, which I copied from here:

I'm about halfway finished gluing on the white tissue paper.  I just have to make the face and fill it with candy!  It was actually a lot easier than I imagined.

Here are two snacks I plan to make for the party.  Finn cupcakes, and fruit skewers that reminded me of Lady Rainicorn.

I'd say it was a productive weekend!  What did you do this weekend?
