Are you all ready for some Football?! My family sure is! I'll be honest, I actually didn't enjoy sports at all growing up and hated that my brother had it on all the time. But then I married a wonderful man who loves sports, football being his favorite, so I decided to give it a try. I really enjoy it now, but most of all I love the food involved and the fun to be had with friends and family. I'm very excited for this years Super Bowl. I think it will be the most fun yet with all the things I have planned.
What I want to share first is my scoreboard. I bought a chalk board from Hobby Lobby and painted the edges to make it what I wanted. I also got some wooden squares and sticks and painted them to match. I put vinyl chalk board on them to make the paddles for the scores. This year my husband and I decided it would be fun to score the commercials since that is the favorite part for people who don't particularly love the game. So, we will have three teams, and for each commercial each team will give a score, and we will keep track on the score board while also keeping track of the score of the game. I'm very excited for this game!
Next we have the football cans. They are just leftover cans I had that I wrapped in our
American Craft Chestnut Cardstock and the laces with the
White Cardstock. You can put anything in these; candy, silverware, straws, napkins, etc. So simple! Then, we did the same thing with juice boxes for the kids at your party. We want them to have fun and feel included as well.
Next, we wrapped the football field paper from our
Echo Park Mini Themes Football pack around some napkins for people to use. I just cut them 1"x6" and taped them at the end. Also from this same
Mini Themes pack I put the Football and Banner sticker around the vase to make it more festive.
And last, my favorite project, the photo booth props. This is such a fun idea to bring a little bit more of a party to your Super Bowl party. I made the helmets for each team, a headset of a coach, the eye blacks, football glasses, and football bow ties. I am so excited to have fun taking pictures with all of my nieces and nephews and siblings, it is going to be a blast!
I know we didn't use much for the
Echo Park Football Mini Themes but I would still recommend getting it so you can use the rest to scrapbook all of the fun you had at your Super Bowl Party - I know that is what I will be doing with my extras! And of course, I will share those after the party! I had so much fun with this project and I hope you enjoy all of my ideas!
Happy Crafting!
What you will need to make 2:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start with placing the pitas on a cookie sheet and spread 2 TBS of BBQ sauce on each pita and sprinkle some cheese on top of that, set aside. Next put the olive oil in a pan and saute the onions, about half way through sauteing add the chicken and the chili powder and cook chicken all the way through. Salt and pepper to taste. Put the onions and chicken on the pitas. Then add the rest of the toppings, pineapple, tomato, green onion, red pepper flakes and the rest of the cheese. Bake for 10 minutes. Then top with arugula and enjoy!!
First off, cut a hole (or in this case a heart) in a piece of bread with a knife. Then, you will want to butter each side of the bread (for this step I use a paper towel or a paper plate to put the bread on). I also butter each side of the bread piece that you cut out. Next, butter/oil/no-stick spray a pan, put the bread in, and crack an egg into the hole. Then cook it like you would normally cook a fried egg and flip when ready. Also fry each side of the hole that you cut out of the bread to make little toast pieces. You're now ready to plate it up and eat, so yummy!
what you will need:
These are Conversation Hearts Ipods! I love them so much, I think they are just the cutest things ever! You would be the coolest mom on the block if you made these for your kids classmates. All you have to do is choose a pattern paper to wrap around your box, cut a circle and a square to go on them and add a heart in the middle for the button. I used Doodlebug Glitter Sweetheart Brads Then think of some fun love songs to write on there like Call Me Maybe or Can I be Your Boyfriend. Cut a long piece of our Doodlebug Twine and tape it to some Hersey Kisses for the ear buds. It did take a bit to put them together but I think the outcome is worth it!
