More to come including thank you cards and t-shirts. I'll come back and post more as I get around to uploading them to my blog. And well, in the case of the t-shirts... actually make one.
Cupcake Topper This paper piecing is made the old fashioned way (a.k.a. no MTC or Zing used). Regardless, I thought it was cute and worth sharing. Hopefully you'll agree.

@bluejeancreations I learned my lesson the hard way this time around. I thought 3 1/2 weeks of planning time was enough. NOT. All the good venues and time slots were already taken. I made a mental note to start 6 weeks in advance for the next birthday.
Zing me baby!

Checking it out. Very cool. That could help with additional decorations, provided I have time to spare. Gyahhh!
ETA: I just downloaded and unzipped the kit. That's freekin' awesome and perfect for the inside of the Thank You cards that I have yet to design and print.
Oh... and the goodie bags that are in the works. I'm doing brown paper bags and going to put a label on them with "Angry Bird Food" written on it.
Somebody is going to have to rescue me from the Angry Bird mania before I'm all done. Yikes!

I love your bottlecap magnet idea, Do they have these at places like Lowes or Home Depot?
I have found the best prices on etsy and ebay. Look through them to get the better prices. I think there is also a discussion on here with links and stuff.

If someone is just doing a few, they can get some at the big box stores and even boutique SB stores along with these adhesive acrylic domes. But smooshing them yourself and using supplies from the brew store is just more fun, plus a lot more affordable. The liquid acrylic is on there for keeps too. So as long as you don't mind letting the liquid sit and dry for a while, these are really fun to put together. And cheep... you can buy a gross for under $3 http://monsterbrew.com/Prod_Caps-GoldCrown.cfm

@Monika Thanks! I think monster brew is going to get a slew of orders from members here at this forum. For those that don't know a gross is 144 pieces.
I am so excited this is something I can go to town on. My daughter and I made some Christmas presents for some of her internet buddies across the country, by cutting circles out of the text of an old Harry Potter book, then gluing them under those clear glass rocks you can get at the dollar tree. We then put a magnet on them.
But this would be easier, more consistant, and cuter, because the rocks aren't all the same size, sometimes they weren't totally clear or had imperfections.
I could see these selling really well off my truck too, the kids would eat up the angry birds ones, I could make some with little popscicles on them....... oh the ideas I can think up. LOL.
Btw.... OT. I don't know if I mentioned, a guy in seattle has offered his services to help me convert a vehicle to an ice cream truck, (his services for free). He has been running a CL ad to try and find one.
The good humor distrubutor in Kent, read his ad and is going to donate a small amount of ice cream to help me get back on the road this spring. Our benefit at the bar and grill is scheduled for Feb 6, 2012.
These would be awesome kid bookmarks. Might get more kids to read! LOL
@bluejeancreations That's the same lady that I got my idea from for the traditional paper piecing I used for my cupcake toppers. Doesn't she have some amazing stuff on her site? I did end up changing the tail feathers out for something smaller. Those paper piecings were probably the most tedious out of all of these projects, but they were just too cute to not do.

Personal use is one thing. But selling something becomes commercial use - be sure to check into the copy-right issues before you sell a copy-righted image (I am sure the angry birds images are copy-righted).
Loving your ideas and projects, may be using these if my oldest chooses it. :-)
This Siggy's for you Jeanette...another AWESOME movie! Samir: No, not again. I... why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of **** out the window. Michael Bolton: You and me both, man. That thing is lucky I'm not armed. Samir: Piece of ****.
Thanks everyone for the comments and flattering feedback. Party's on Friday. Gyah! Should be fun though. We've got 19 kids.

@MeFlick The party was fantastic. We had 20 kids. They zip lined, bungie trampoline jumped and the huge pit they jump into off of a trampoline was a smash hit. All the kids wore the t-shirts and loved them. There's talk of them all wearing their Angry Bird shirts to school on the same day. That should be fun.

Monika - Just had to say THANKS for the inspiration. Each year my sons school has a Big Band Dance and Silent Auction to benefit the marching band. I just finished my donation! A very large polar fleece replica of your party invitation!!! It's about 7 feet long and 5 feet wide!
That is very cool. I hope it fetches a good penny for the fund raiser. Angry Bird is so popular right now, the throw is sure to be popular too. Thanks for posing. Looks great!
