Are you preparing for a loved ones birthday? Need some resources to help you get started? Want to digitally scrap the event too?
If you answered yes to one or more of the questions above, then you are in the right place!
When I was young, my mother hosted wonderful themed birthday parties for myself and my brothers and sister. They were so fun and seemed so magical!
But now, being a mother myself, I look back and am so surprised asbout how she always came up with new and fresh ideas (after all, she didn’t have the internet back then!).
If you are about to plan a Winter Birthday Party yourself, here are some ideas that might be useful and help to capture wonderful photos for digitally scrapping those special birthday memories too!
First, the Birthday Cake
!
- Snowman Cake Recipe – from Betty Crocker
- Ice Skating Snowman Cake Recipe – from Betty Crocker
- Skate Cake Recipe – from Betty Crocker
- Snowman Face Cake – from Betty Crocker
Next, other Winter Party Food
- Alpine Mint Hot Chocolate – Betty Crocker
- Poppy the Penguin treat – Betty Crocker
- Snowy Shovels – Betty Crocker
- Slow Cooker Chicken Chili – Food Network
- Vegetable Lover’s Chicken Soup – Food Network/Eating Well
Then plan the Winter Party Activities!
- Go Ice Skating
- Build a Snowman
- Go Skiing
- Sledding down a snowy hill
- Give each person a disposable camera and take a walk around the block taking winter photos! (Great for scrapbooking later too!)
- Indoor – pin the carrot nose to a image of a Snowman
- Indoor – make coloring pages from custom brushes and let the kids color them – see this article: More Things to Do with Custom Photoshop Brushes and Digital Scrapbooking!
- Indoor – decorate snowman cookies
- Indoor – Snowdrifts on Cocoa: When serving Alpine Mint Hot Chocolate (mentioned above), refer to the topping as “snowdrifts” and let the kids add the snowdrifts to their cups of hot chocolate.
Next, scrapping all the fun to preserve the memories!
When the party is over and you have lots of great digital photos, it is now time to make great digital scrapbooking pages… to save all those special birthday memories, of course!
Take a digital scrapbooking kit, your digital photos, and start scrapping your Winter Birthday party!
For example, take the Frosty Winter Memories Scrapbooking Kit, which is a digital scrapbooking kit full of snowflakes digital papers for Winter Birthday scrapbooking projects! Digital Papers are 12×12″ size. Kit includes digital papers, and icy winter themed embellishments which are perfect for your Winter Birthday Scrapbooking pages!
Or how about Scrapping your Winter Birthday Activity with the Icicles and Winter Scrapbooking Kit, which is a digital scrapbooking kit full of icicles on the digital papers. Which makes this a perfect kit for winter birthday scrapbooking projects! Digital Papers are 12×12″ size. Kit includes digital papers, WordArt and icy winter themed embellishments!
In this digital scrapbooking page I also used a custom brush to put the birthday cake on the tag!
See the Happy Birthday Custom Digital Brush Set. This adorable Brush Set is
available for Birthday Celebrations Digital Scrapbook Pages and Birthday Scrapbooking Projects. This set comes with all kinds of Birthday brushes: from Balloons, a Birthday Cake, Birthday Candles (that can be used to make borders), a Happy Birthday Frame, Birthday Label (to fill in with the special persons details) and even a Birthday Present brush!
This Custom Brush set also comes as a BONUS in the Exploring Brushes Tutorials – so you might want to check this out and get the whole set! Go directly (to Elements Training or Photoshop Training) and buy the Brush Training and Get these Brushes as a BONUS!
The custom Birthday brushes are great to use for digital scrapbooking projects. You can “stamp” them on digital scrapbooking tags and then use them in digital scrapbooking pages.
You can use custom brushes to make the birthday invitations, place cards, birthday cards, coloring pages and more! Custom brushes are a must have for digital scrapbookers! (See this article: More Things to Do with Custom Photoshop Brushes and Digital Scrapbooking! )
Another Scrapbooking ideas is to scrap the Birthday food and recipes and save in a recipe scrapbooking album. Like we did in the image to the left.
We took the Slow Cooker Chili mentioned above and scrapped a recipe with it and then other party photos so we could remember the Birthday events, the food and the recipes!
This scrapbooking project was easy because the kit we choose actually included a Winter Recipe Card!
The Winter Snow Scrapbooking Kit is a digital scrapbooking kit full of snowflakes digital papers for winter scrapbooking projects! Digital Papers are 12×12″ size. Kit includes digital papers, frames, and winter themed embellishments! Also this kit includes a digital recipe card for scrapbooking your favorite winter dish!
Celebrate this year’s winter festivities or Winter Birthdays with the “Winter Snow” Digital Scrapbooking Kit! Turn your holiday photos and special memories into a digital Winter Wonderland! Whether you prefer to digitally scrap Winter Birthday Activities, a romantic evening curled up next to the fire on a cold winter day, or the joy of building a snowman with the kids, this digital scrapbooking is filled with beautiful digital supplies to make all of your frostiest moments look fabulous!
Hope you have a Wonderful Winter Birthday Party! Try some of these ideas and don’t forget to scrap all your precious memories!
