The Joy of Designing for Baby and Beyond

Sweet Little Cupcake Boy Birthday – Baby’s First Birthday

By:

A few months back I got the pleasure to prepare the Sweet Little Cupcake Boy First Birthday Package for little baby Nolan.

I was so excited when his mommy was so kind to share with me the pictures of his party! She really did a great job and made all the decorations shine! This takes me to write a little disclaimer:

All pictures shown in this post {except for the invitation design} via Jaime (Nolan’s mommy). Thank You Jamie!!

With a few exceptions, I don’t get to see my party decor “in action”. So, when Jamie sent me these pictures, my first thought was “Oh My! I have to write a blog post about it.” Thank you Jamie for allowing me to share this beautiful party with my readers.

It’s been 4 months since Nolan’s party, I thought I was just going to sit down and blog away that same night but things got a little complicated when my dad fell sick and then his passing…I don’t think he got a chance to see these pictures actually… 🙁

Well, moving onto happy thoughts!

First things first: this is the invitation that I custom designed for Nolan. He looks so adorable with his birthday hat! I gotta say, his picture makes the whole design!

Sweet Cupcake Boy – First Birthday Invitation 
Note: The package itself does not include the invitation, neither the centerpieces that you’re going to see in this particular party. They were added by customer request.
The Centerpieces: Tin buckets anyone? 
Love the way she placed these picture frames by the centerpiece. What a neat idea!

The cupcake toppers…Mmm, yummy cupcakes…

See the paper plates and the cups on the bottom right corner of this picture? This is the set  that inspired this collection in my shop.

The high-chair banner. This banner is beautiful, I love how it fits perfect the width of almost any high-chair
The Happy Birthday Banners . Jamie got two: one for the main table and one for the mantle…

The favor tags…I want a sugar cookie now!

and last but no least, the Welcome Sign…
Again, this post would not have been possible without these beautiful pictures taken by Jamie. So Jamie, thank you so much! I am glad I fulfilled your expectations with this party package.
All these products are available in my Etsy store. Thank you all for looking and sharing the joy! 
Have a wonderful weekend, XOXO

Baby’s First Birthday Design Ideas {by real mamas!}

By:

For the last three months, high chair banners have been the number one seller on my Etsy shop. And I have so much fun designing and handcrafting them! But, I can’t take all the credit because it’s the mommies who have this birthday theme in mind, they convo me with their ideas and I make them come to life. From watermelons to blueberries or simple polka dots…All of them make my heart sing.

Here are some pictures of the projects…Get inspired!

Have a wonderful weekend!

The Birthday Party as promised.

By:

So finally the big day came and it’s been a little over a week since then.
{*sigh*} I just don’t know where does time go…
Logan turned one almost two weeks ago and it’s amazing how he has turned into this independent {so he thinks} little man. He climbs over furniture, climbs the stairs {I’m always behind him, no worries}, says Dada a little more often than Mama…{isn’t that nice?}and waves bye-bye….and today he finally let go of the furniture to wave bye-bye and gave three steps towards his daddy when he said: ‘Ok buddy, give me a kiss I gotta go to work’…It was so amazing we both {yes daddy too!} had tears in our eyes. Our little baby is growing up so quickly! 
Well without further ado, here you have the pics. I’m very proud of the turnout, everyone had fun and loved the decorations {that I made =) }. Thanks for looking!
Birthday Boy!

Center Table {with lots of snacks, cupcakes and candy!}

Kids Table {they had bubbles, crayolas, noise makers, balloons}

Enough space for the kids to play {I love the room}

Loved this cupcake stand {cupcake toppers and food tents made by me!}

I am so glad everyone had fun {see the bubbles? lovely!}

Logan wasn’t too happy at the beginning {can you tell?}

And then he found….drumroll….a cupcake! {this is the only cute family portrait}

He was so into the sugary buttercream that didn’t even care about the hat {that I made! LOL}
I loved that my neighborhood bakery has this deal: you buy the cake for baby’s first birthday and you get a little “smash cake” for free! I love the idea, it was the best part of the party! Here are the pics:
The “real” cake {yellow cake with chocolate pudding and buttercream frosting}
Smash Cake time! {is this for real?}
hmmm let’s see what we have here…

Yummy! {it is for real!}

I just love it! {btw frosting stains came right out in one wash}
I am very happy to share this with you because you have been my faithful readers since day one, when Logan was only three months and I would sit and share with you all his little milestones…and now look at him!
Please feel free to contact me and ask me any questions about the party and the decor. We are all here to help!
Love always,

Treasury List {Baby’s First Birthday High Chair Banner}

By:

I have some exciting news! This past weekend I did my first sale {and then two more!} on my Etsy Shop and not only I had the pleasure to design some high chair banners for three little girls who are turning one on July { just like my little boy} but one of the designs – Watermelons for Sophia – was featured on a Treasury List named Summer Watermelon.

The Treasury on Etsy is a member-curated shopping gallery where this member choose items they like {or LOVE} and feature them in a public list.

 This makes me very happy because I am doing two wonderful things: crafts and designing for babies. I am working on an order of  Ladybugs and another one of Pink Lemonade! I love all these summer themes! I would be posting pictures of them soon! Please, do not forget to visit me and Like us on Facebook.
