Before I start todays post RUN to Michaels! LOL! (but save enough money to buy Q.T. Hooty and Dress Up Billy first! LOL!) They have all their punches 40% off!! They got in a ton of new ones!! Even the treading Water one I use over and over!! AND the all the other new Fiskars border punches and Crop-a-dile BIG BITE, which I got to use a 50% OFF coupon on!! Happy Dancin!! WOW! I need to take a breath.
Well Dress Up Billy is almost here!! let me tell you, you are going to LOVE him!!! *LOVE* Only 2 more days to go!! Then you can buy him HERE
Im squealing with delight over here on this project.
I am suppose to post 2 Billy projects but this one deserves its own, don’t you think?
My kids are getting to the age where they want to have a sleepover. I am paranoid so would be happy to let a little friend come over HERE, but most likely not let my kids go THERE. I know I’m probably over-protective but I have all I can do to let my oldest Alexa sleep over her Father’s house, let alone my kids go to a complete strangers! Anyway, the questioning lead to the idea of HOW to invite someone over for a sleepover, and then I saw Billy!! It was perfect!
I love the PJs he can be put in and HAD to use them immediately. I thought to myself……How cute would a sleepover survival kit be? Send it along with the invite!! I know would go! LOL!
So here it is
Dress Up Billy-Sleepover Survival Kit
With the kit you give a stamped Pillow Case. (Note: I used my stamp-a-ma-jig and stamped just the PJ’s first, then JUST Billy’s head, onto the PJ’s). I saw decorate your own pillow cases in the store for $10!!! My pillow case came courtesy of Walmart of a whopping $1.99!!!
You also get my super cute Sleep Over Kit box that I designed using aceate and my Scor-Pal (yes you really need one!! They are also sold at The Paper Tree). I just used a Prima Paint can handle for my handle, which I attached to the kit using the large eyelets from SU!!
Now, inside the kit you will find an altered crayon box to color the pillowcase for a fun activity. See Directions HERE You may also see some PEZ Candy and a dispenser. Oh and we can’t forget the flashlight.
See inside??? The additions you can make are just endless.
I could have added more but of course, none of my ideas were available to me. But I did create this poem for the kit!!
Just printed off on my computer using the Giddyup font.
Please note this is Poem is written/created by me, and can only be for personal use. No submissions/paid publications- PLEASE & thank you.
Now if you want a closer view of the top 😀
I paper pieced his little Jammies, and stamped the sock monkey face onto them.
I rolled up some wide American Crafts Grosgrain ribbon for the sleeping bag!! I personally loved that little touch! LOL!
Well that is it for now. I have much to do, and share later.
Don’t forget to check the other Pink Cat designers for more samples! Also check out the contest HERE!
Later!

Now that is so stinkin’ cute!! And that poem is so adorable!!!
This is so sweet!!!! I love it. I agree with you about sleepovers, kids can come here, but not my kid goes there, I suppose they will understand what we do this now, I hope.
Have a blessed day

This is such a cute idea. If it was me, I would make one, but won’t be able to find where it is when time comes 🙂
Got my stamps. Thanks.
So super cute and adorable!! I love his sock monkey and his sleeping bag is an amazing touch!!! Can’t wait for this set! You continue to amaze me with your creativity – can I borrow your brain for a bit?!
Oh My Word! I love this and the stamped shirt/bag you created. How terrifically sweet! My husband and I have the same concerns about sleepovers as you do. Our 9 year old daughter just had her first sleepover this year. We only allow her to sleep over at her best friend’s house – we know her parents well. That is it. No one else. Of course, her friends can sleep over here. I am more settled when I can know where they are and who they are with. Thanks again. Your blog and you are awesome!!!
You are just too stinkin’ clever!! I just don’t know what to say – CUTE!!!!
This is totally fabulous! What a creative, thoughtful idea!!
OMGosh, this is too stinking cute! I LOVE the monkey on his jammies and the rolled up blanket! This set is SO mine!
ADORABLE! what a SUPER cute idea now I just need a little boy haha!
So cute!!! I love the idea of having the crafts there ready for them. But on the poem, did you mean “Your PJ’s”? You have “You Pj’s. Can’t wait to see the rest of your projects. I HAD to get the Dress up Lily and the Billy sets. I have used them so many times already!
Love this fun sleep over package Lauren! The pillowcase is such a great idea and love that little Billy in his PJ’s!!
LAUREN! I just don’t know how you do it all! This project is so intensely awesome that I can barely stand it! I love it!
OMG!! I was going to get this set anyway…but I NEED THE SOCK MONKEY!!! Too cute!!
Get out! That is over the top CUTE! LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing. I don’t know how you do it either … kids, crafting, blogging … YOU ROCK!
OMG!!!! You are amazing! This is soooo creative!!! I cannot wait to get my set!
That is cool. What kid wouldn’t love to get that for a sleepover. Especially a first sleep over. You are awesome. -Molly B
OMG Lauren, that is too cute! I can’t wait to get my hands on this stamps set!
WOW!!!!
Amazing and wonderfull project!!!!
OMGosh!! You are the stamped gifted QUEEN!! You have the best ideas. Thanks for sharing it with us 🙂
How adorable! I can’t believe how creative you are! I would come over for a sleep over if I got that little goodie!! You’ll have to let us know how it turns out!
Adorable! You are so clever. Someone already mention the you instead of your! Good catch! I’m amazed at the inventive minds out there.
Lauren, you’re a genious!!! I’m with you on the sleepover – hate them!!! Unless of course dh and I get the chance to go out then a little re-thinking is in order!!! I love this project – do you have directions for the box? i have the scor-pal but seem to be measure/math challenged when it comes to making boxes from scratch!
I loved that idea!!! It is too stinkin’ cute!! But then again, all your ideas are so stinkin’ cute. I would love to make one of these. Could I please get the directions for the box???? Please??? I have a scor-pal (love that thing!!!) and am challenged when it comes to measuring things out on my own 😉 Thank you Lauren for all the ideas you share and inspire me with!!!
This is flippin amazing!! Probably my most favorite of all your projects (probably cause I have boys and it uses billy)….. can’t wait to own this set!!
Hi Lauren!
I just received my copy of Crafts ‘n Things, and I saw your name all over it!
WOW!
I especially like your Elegant Cakes invitations…they are simply stunning!
I sure do enjoy your work…and, of course, your blog 🙂
what a smart idea, thanks for sharing it with us!
Adorable! I can’t wait to see the rest of the set! :o)
Oh my word is this FANTASTIC! You are amazing, girl!
Oh my gosh! this is sooo cute, I have no idea how you come up with all these amazing creations!
What a fabulous gift idea Lauren! Billy in his Pjs is so cute. I love the colours and the design of the box, so cool!
Wait a minute….
You mean you actually *found* the treading water punch? I have been to every store in the area looking for that dang thing. You are one lucky girl. Will you fill out my lottery ticket for me?
Okay, now to finish reading the post……
Awwww….. that is just darling! I love the “sleeping bag” – what a perfect touch! This set so reminds me of Joey.
I forgot to tell you, he brought a toad into the house. Of course, it surprised me and I screamed which scared him and he didn’t want to touch the toad again. Thank goodness, DH was home to rescue me from the toad. (Yes, I’m afraid of them).
Anyways, this is totally adorable and it looks like a ‘must-have’ set!
Hugs,
Renee
PS. You *really* found the threading water punch?
I’m going to have to take a little trip to Michael’s later on. 🙂
Wow how cute would that be when my Daisy Scouts get to go on their 1st camping trip! I can just see it now.
Should I be the mean one and say there is a typo in your adorable poem? (…bring you sleeping bag), sorry, thought you could just nip that in the bud!
I will be casing this for sure, thanks for all the inspiration!
Oh WOW!!! I am so gonna get Billy the second he is for sale. The DT has shown so many versatile ways to use Billy. Plus, with Melissa mentioning using all the stuff with Lily. I am gonna have to get Lily too but she will have to wait a little longer.
Thank you so much for sharing that cute kit with us. I know what you mean about sleepovers. I have had my boys since they were born but now that we are close to family I have allowed them to stay with family. It is gutt-renching. What a cute kit to put together when they do get to have sleepovers.
Oh My Gosh!!That is too adorable!!I am in love with Billy!I will be getting him for sure! And I totally hear you on the letting their kids come over , but not letting OURS go over there!!It’s not overprotective, just cautious!!Kris
Lauren…you are amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!!!!
Lauren, this is fantastic! A great idea! I still have a few more years before my son wants sleepovers thank goodness, but this will definately be tried out on my behalf!
Thanks,
Mel H
This set is absolutely awesome. You really are gifted in so many ways.
Oh Lauren…. That is just toooo cuuuuute!!!!
So super adorable, love the stamps and what you have done with them.
Oh my gosh!!! This is so cute!!! What an awesome idea!
oh my, this is so cute. I already want the owls, now I need Billy!!
I’m totally with you on the sleepover front! My kids may invite friends over anytime, but they do not sleepover anyone’s house! I love all your stuff! You never disappoint. You are such an inspiration. Something to look forward to when I get downtime.
That is just about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! Amazing!
Barb
LOL I love it! That little sleeping bag is AWESOME girl! You make the cutest little things all the time…not sure HOW you come up with one after the other but you always amaze me!
I’m glad i’m not the only one who would rather have all the kids than send mine away:) You think after four i’d be a little less over protctive. I cannot wait to make these I think I would like to use lily but, first I have to buy both sets and the new outfits. Won’t my husband be happy:)
*gasp* I have so much to say that I don’t know where to start. Simply stunning, amazing, wow! I love this! I would never be able to part with this.
i looked for billy dress up stamps on pink cat and couldnt find them. I MUST HAVE THEM! 🙂
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this survival kit! How a kid could refuse an invitation like that one and sleep until this event! lol
I have a question Lauren: Are you really use wax paper between your fabric and Iron ? Don’t mind to dammage your iron ?
Precious beyond words!!! Love it!
