Disney's Peter Pan Movie Night

Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning!  That's where we traveled to tonight with our Peter Pan movie night!

never never land

Our table took on the roll of Never Never Land (also known as Neverland or Never Land, based on my research, it's right all 3 ways).  It's made almost entirely out of scrap booking paper.  I printed out Peter Pan character clip art and stood them up throughout Neverland.  The fantastic Hangman's Tree was a craft I found here.  Skull Rock is an egg shaped foam, spray painted black.  The Indian Camp is more scrap booking paper wrapped around one of my cake stands.

and then there was food

I added the food right around Never Land (notice I've spelt it all 3 ways now?), since I thought our Pizza Ships would look nicely sailing the open "seas".  For tonight's craft, the kids colored all of the sails for our pizza boats.  Aren't they cute?

The sails and the kids, that is.

We also enjoyed Michael's Teddy Bears (Teddy Graham crackers), Injun Teepees, Fruit Kebob Skewers, Walk the Plank (sugar wafers), Ol' Codfish (goldfish crackers), Chocolate "Ship" Cookies, Pirate Punch (free printable label!) and Cannon Balls (Whoppers).

we can fly!  we can fly!

Tinker Bell Fairy Party

Samantha's 3.  I can hardly believe it.  But, disbelief aside, it's party time!  This year, it's Tinker Bell.  Tinker Bell this, Tinker Bell that, so Tinker Bell party.  Of course.

the invitation

Choosing the pictures from our fairly successful photo shoot was probably the hardest part about making this invitation.  There were just so many adorable ones.  Of course, I'm bias.

See what I mean?  *swoon* 

I bought her GORGEOUS dress from Etsy seller carriecreations.  She even customized the colors to go with the party.  It's just a beautiful dress!

the cake

The base is a 2-layered 12" cake, frosted in purple.  The tree trunk is PVC wrapped in fondant.  The top is a "bowl" cake (cake baked in a glass bowl), covered in fondant leaves.  The Tinker Bell Fairy figurines were purchased at The Disney Store.  The wires they're hanging from are from Duff of Charm City Cakes new cake supplie line.  I got them at Michael's.

welcome to pixie hollow

Guests were greeted with a "dress-up" station when they arrived.  The girls got fairy wings and wands, the boys got Peter Pan hats and knives.  Everyone got a little sprinkle of pixie dust.

The wings and wands.  We had 3 baby girls in attendance, they got mini wings and felt wands.

The Peter Pan hats and knives.  Made entirely of felt, so no eyes got poked out.  I found the tutorial for these at Make It and Love It.
