Cinco De Mayo

I'm a Southwest Native. Consequently I love Mexican Food. Cinco De Mayo is pretty big around here, mostly for others it's an excuse to drink, but since I don't drink, it's a time to get together and have some amazing Mexican Food.

You know I'm making some of these. My favorite!

I also love to make some fun decorations to celebrate. This year I only spent about $3.50. $2 for tissue paper at the dollar store, and $1.50 for ribbon from Walmart. I haven't finished my table-scape yet, I'll share when it's done, but the wall deco is done. Not to bad if I do say so myself.

The bunting was just little pieces of scrapbook paper cut as shown and sewn onto tiny ribbon.

I made about a eleventy-billion tissue paper flowers with the help of my friend {C}. Some smaller, some bigger, some fuller, some less full. I like the variety.

For some reason the lighting in my kitchen is kinda bad. Sorry about that. The Banner just says "Fiesta" about 3 times. I used my Cricut to cut the letters.

This is the stairway. It's wrapped in ribbon, bunting and tissue paper flowers.

Remember the wreath I made here? Well I'm in a new house without a fireplace so this it how I chose to display it.

It was fun adding the bunting and flowers to it. I love how it turned out.

Lastly the wreath on the front door. Super easy and I think pretty cute!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
Let's eat!

A few more X's and O's

I needed to re-do my kitchen window again. I change out the side pics depending on the holiday. Usually I print out vintage images from The Graphic's Fairy, but this time I decided to raid my stash and copy a little of what Mandy did Here at Little Birdie Secrets.

First I gathered some paper.

This image came from Graphics Fairy here. I resized it in Photoshop and made it fit an 8.5x11 inch paper then printed it out. You're welcome to click on this image and save as then print your own.

These are some more pages I created in Photoshop using brushes from Brusheezy. I needed both a portrait and landscape version.

Next I cut a bunch of hearts and X's and O's with my Cricut using the George basic shapes cartridge. The I Love You was also on the George cartridge.

Now start gluing the letters and hearts onto the paper.

Lastly I followed Mandy's tutorial loosely. I added stitching crosswise too. I also stitched some hearts and X's and O's to use go across the window. So simple and sweet.
