Spaceships and Laser Beams

A boy’s construction party is certain to get a little guy’s engine running! Most little boys love the idea of playing with trucks…and making truck noises. Rachel, at Fondant Flinger, created this construction themed birthday party for her four-year-old son.

With decorations, cupcake sleeves and favor boxes, Pamela of D&P Celebrations (with printables from Jen at Blush Printables), has conceived of just such a party. And notice the skull print? It’s actually the party invitation. When placed in a majestic black frame,…
