And to top it all off, 2 of her brothers and their wives, her sister and her husband and her cousin all flew in from South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia! We let her friends surprise her first, then at 10 minute intervals the family started ringing the bell. She was surprised enough by the party, but when her family started arriving it was truly spectacular!!! Lots of tears of joy!
We have lots to share from the party starting with this awesome
Martha Stewart inspired photo collage.
First we cut out the numbers from foam core board. Then printed out black and white photos and hot glued them on to the letters.
We had such a great time at the party and I'm so grateful to everyone for making my wonderful Mom's Birthday such a fabulous day!
We're on the Fence! Won't you take a minute and vote for us?

What a great idea and way to honor your mom/grandma/etc... Definitely can use this in so many ways, maybe even for a graduation and using the year they graduated!
ReplyDeleteI linked over from the Homemade By You Link Party where I am participating too and would love it if you'd stop by.
Hugs, Antonella :-)
What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHow did you cut out the numbers so nicely?
Thanks!
Alyssa, we used an Exacto knife. It cut the foam core board really well. The trick is to make several shallow cuts to keep the foam from tearing.
DeleteHow big did you make the numbers
ReplyDeleteThey were cut from a 20 x 30 sheet of foam core board. We made the numbers cover as much of the board as possible. Very easy to cut with an Exacto knife. Thanks for stopping by.
