My youngest munchkin is now 12 years old! Holy cow! By this time next year I’ll have 2 teenagers… does anyone know a way to slow down time?! Anyway… It took my youngest a while to figure out what he wanted to do for his birthday. But he finally figured it out and we’re having a sports themed birthday party. A couple of years ago he wanted a basketball themed birthday. So as an ever hopeful scrapbooker, I saved what I used/created and was able to use some pieces for this year’s theme. I want to make my munchkins birthdays special… I also don’t want to break the bank doing it!
Whenever I can I pull from my craft stash. I also love a good free printable! And there are tons out there. It’s rare that I’m hard up to find some good printables, no matter what the theme.
Sadly I don’t have many sports themed stamps. I do still have the baseball themed stamp set that Paper Pumpkin had a couple of years ago. But that doesn’t help me this time around.
So for this year’s party I created a fun sports themed centrepiece using a few different printables I found. I also put a little something on the pillow boxes I’m using for loot bags. I think these are the last loot bags I’ll be putting together 🙁 I’m pretty sure teens roll their eyes at stuff like that… or is just my 15 year old?
Hopefully my youngest munchkin likes my interpretation of a sports themed birthday party. I still can’t believe he’s 12 years old!
