Wedding Wednesday // Bridal Shower Memory Matching Game Free Download!

posted by Amanda // DIY, Downloads, Events

Jun 12, 2013

One of the biggest hits at my bridal shower last month was a simple memory matching game. It was so popular, 3 people asked me to forward them the candy list and icons I made, so I figured I would share it with you as well!

Here’s how it works:

Cover a piece of foam core with wrapping paper. Download and print 2 sets of the wedding themed icons I designed. Cut out the icons and arrange them randomly on the board. Number Post-It Notes 1-48 and stick them with push pins on the board.

Guests take turns trying to find matches. When they find one, they win a candy bar that goes with the icon!

Here’s the candy list:

Bride – Hot Tamales
Groom - Big Hunk
Bridesmaids - Smarties
Groomsmen - 3 Musketeers
Honeymoon - Red Hots or Skor
Reception - 100 Grand
In-Laws - Snickers or Nutrageous
Arguments - Warheads
Nicknames - Sweet Tarts
Diamond Ring - Ring Pop
Ringbearer - Butterfinger
Flower Girl - Junior Mints
Commitment - Now and Laters or Everlasting Gobstoppers
Tie the Knot - Twizzlers
On “Cloud 9″ - Milky Way
True Love - Good and Plenty
Wedding Vendors - Pay Day
First Child - Baby Ruth
Wedding Gifts - Mounds
Bride and Groom - Twix
Vows - Dove Promises or Gushers
Alcohol - Lifesaver
1st Dance - Symphony
Wedding Photos - Treasures or Look

 

Don’t forget to download the icons! I hope you have as much fun with this game as we did!

Happy May 1st! Can you believe we’re 5 months into 2013 already? This year has been so good to me… It’s great to just think back on all the excitement (starting my own business, getting engaged, etc.) Lucky 13!

But enough of that, let’s look to the future. I kept things sweet and simple for this month’s desktop download. Don’t forget Mother’s Day on May 12!

Mar 01, 2013

Happy March everyone! Spring is just around the corner and I can’t wait. It already feels like spring here in Los Angeles, but I know that’s not true for most of the country. So here’s a fresh new desktop wallpaper to brighten up your computer screen.

I found this sweet Irish blessing, and thought it was a nice way to say hello to spring and bless all that’s coming this year. Have a great weekend!

To download this wallpaper, just click the image below!

I took this photo of clover growing in my parents backyard.

Whimsical Woods // Holiday Gift Tag Printable

posted by Amanda // Downloads

Dec 18, 2012

I designed the paper goods for the CCLA party this past Saturday. It was so fun, and I loved being a part of it. Our theme was “Whimsical Woods” so I illustrated a deer, a fox and some evergreens and we used them on the name tags, gift bags, Mix CD labels, etc. I decided to make them into gift tags too and offer them here for you all to download!

Just click the image below to download a hi-res version. Then print them out on card stock, cut, hole punch and attach to your holiday presents. I hope you and your family enjoy them as much as I do. Check out how Emilee from Tasteful Tatters used them!

Happy November everybody! Hope you’re not hung over from all that candy last night… My favorite thing about the first of the month is downloading a new desktop calendar from Smashing Magazine. But lately I’ve been unimpressed with their wallpapers, so I decided to do my own this month and share it will all of you!

I took this image on my recent trip to Michigan!  More pictures coming tomorrow (get ready for lots of colorful leaves!)
