Dinosaur Party Invitations and More Filled with Prehistoric Fun

Prehistoric Fun Including B.Nute productions Dinosaur Party Invitations

I remember when my nephew was a dino-fanatic! He knew every dinosaur name, the time period in which they roamed the earth, their eating habits and much, much more. It's hard to believe he is now a senior in high school!

Many kids go through a phase of loving dinosaurs. To capitalize on their inner-Paleontologist, why not throw them a dinosaur party! I had fun creating these rustic invitations and matching party goods. I challenged myself by hand drawing the dinosaurs, and then giving them a grungy, dino-texture. Below is a sample of the invitation and matching party accessories available for your party.

The Essentials: Cool Summer Treats Card (and poster) by B.Nute productions

It's the last day of school, it's my birthday and my littlest one is officially done with elementary school. Phew! With all this goings-on it can only mean one thing, IT'S SUMMER TIME!! Yay, my favorite time of year. I'm definitely looking forward to long days at the pool, late nights hanging out in the back yard and a few popsicles too. But, for now, I think a nap sounds just perfect. Hope you have a wonderful summer planned too.

Fiesta Essentials

Cinco de Mayo may be over, but Fiesta season is just beginning! When the weather is warm, there's nothing like a good old fashioned fiesta. The foods, the drinks, the music, and even the games seem to always be crowd pleasers. Whip up a big taco salad or create a burrito bar for your party and don't forget the blender. There's nothing like a cold margarita on a hot afternoon to get things going.

Here is a round up of more fiesta ideas (including free printables):

• Fish Taco Fiesta
• Printable Fiesta Toppers or Drink ID's
• Loteria Printable Tags
• Printable Papel Picado Mini Banner

Enjoy!

Kentucky Derby Essentials

The Essentials: Kentucky Derby - Drawing by B.Nute productions

"And they're off…"

They say it's the fastest 2 minutes in sports. I say it looks like a great party! The Kentucky Derby is coming up this weekend. I've never been, but it's definitely on my bucket list. I love the tradition surrounding the event- the chilled mint juleps in silver mugs, the festive hat decked out with flowers and floating butterflies if you'd like, and the red roses… lots and lots of beautiful blooming red roses.

Of course, there is actually a horse race involved too. A horse race seeped in history filled with skilled jockeys and well bred horses. Don't forget about a little luck. Sometimes it's the underdog who surprises the crowd!

I had a great time creating my "The Essentials: Kentucky Derby" drawing above. It includes all the necessary items for a wonderful Kentucky Derby-- from the mint julep, to the prize trophy. It's a great snapshot of a wonderful tradition that fleets by every year!

Free Printable Love & Friendship Tags from B.Nute productions

I was recently charged with making favors for a gathering I was attending. It was for a coffee of a volunteer group I belong to. Many of the women in the group have been volunteers for a long time, and are quite close. When I happened upon this quote about friendship from A.A. Milne (or more affectionately Winnie the Pooh), I couldn't resist.

"Any day spent with you is my favorite day!" -Winnie the Pooh

It really does sum up having a wonderful friend. Spending anytime with her just puts a smile on

We're coming in to the holiday home stretch! Yesterday I made caramel for the first time. It was a simple recipe I found on How Does She called 15 Minute Caramels. Making them was easy, wrapping them up was a little more difficult, but either way, they are delicious and well worth the effort.
