Leah's 1st Birthday!
My name is Michelle and I am so excited to be sending in my pictures! I used GabbaFriends A LOT during my party planning! The party was for my daughter's first birthday. I knew the theme had to be Yo Gabba Gabba because she immediately fell in love with the show. I would turn it on and she would stop whatever she was doing and DANCE!
I am NOT a baker! So, I bought a cake from Costco, scraped off the frosting design on top, re-frosted and put on my Gabba decorations! They're made out of gum paste so I made sure to take everything off the cake before serving. I wanted to be able to save the decorations and figured gum paste would be my best choice. The characters were flat, so I used skewers to hold them up in the back. You can see them in one of the pictures.
The mini Brobee cake was for my daughter's actual birthday. It was tiny =)
The party hats and bags took a VERY LONG TIME! Cut everything out of construction paper.
The Brobee Pinata was inspired by many on the website!
My Gabba shirt was from 80stees.com and my son's was from ebay.
I will be actively posting more of my Gabba projects and how-to's very soon! For those interested in the invites, I'm sorry, I did NOT make them! I ordered them online from Ebay. I also order my invites through Etsy.com because I love how I can make sure another mom is behind a product I'm using.
The party hats and bags I did make by hand. I free-styled them and it took FOREVER. I will probably never make them again lol! If you go to the Nick JR website they have print-outs GALORE that would be so much easier to turn into party hats and gift bags!
Again, I am so sorry I missed these comments and will be more active on GabbaFriends starting right now! Thanks for the awesome feedback!
I love your invitations! Can you please tell us what font you used? Thanks!
I love your bags my son's birthday is sept 3 and i wanted to make some if you dont mind. Can you please tell me how you made them.
I love how you decorated and made the bags for Leah's b-day. Was wondering if you can tell me how you made the bags b/c my daughter is turning 2 in Sept. and she loves the show and would love to make her bags. thanks. =)
but there was no information on how you made them or got them. If you don't mind i'd love any information i can get :-) My daughter had the same reaction to the show as your daughter Leah -instantly loved it!and my Olivia is turning one in July! :-)
