Girls First Birthday

I am back!

Phew, this past summer was packed with orders and right after that mountain of nautical and patriotic parties, my son started pre-school and with all the excitement {and separation anxiety too} I have totally ignored the blog. Shame on me!

One of the beautiful things I had pending to share with you were these awesome Bumblee Bee Banner pictures one of my dear customers sent.

Vanessa turned two years old last summer and she had a beautiful photo shoot outdoors.

I love how our Beeday Banner worked as a perfect photo prop.

Our Beeday party decorations line is growing! This banner has been requested numerous time also with the words Mommy To Bee! and I have designed a beautiful Mommy To Bee baby shower invitation to go along with it!

Thanks for stopping by, have bee-utiful day!

In the midst of organizing my craft room {yes, it is finished, I just haven’t put the finishing touches, once that’s done, I will snap the pictures and write a post} I stumbled upon so many projects I have done in the past months and that I have not been able to share on the blog, neither to post on my online store. Yikes! I really have a lot of work to do!

Sorting through the pictures files on my computer, I found this beautiful pink kitty party I made for baby Olivia back in May. One thing I like about my work, is being able to design around someone else’s idea. Usually, the customer would send me a picture or a link of something they saw online, or something they own and ask me to design the party package around it. So far, so good 🙂 I have delivered beautiful party packages inspired on just colors, any possible animal { I am working on baby shower package with baby panda bears!} trees {like my cherry blossom favor tags}, favors, the baby’s nursery decor and more.

Olivia’s mommy sent me the party invitation and asked me to design a welcome sign, a happy birthday banner, a high chair banner and a mini happy first birthday banner. The theme was a pink kitty with touches of lavender… I used a beautiful white glitter tulle fabric for the hanging part of the welcome sign, tied with pastel pink satin bows. Cute!

I put ‘jewels’ around the kitty’s neck to make a collar… fancy kitty 🙂

Now, a “Happy Birthday Olivia” banner is quite large {even in the picture is hard to get the whole banner within 600 pixels width } …

…so I kept the “Olivia” banner separate and added one kitty link on each end.

Olivia’s mommy kept it and hung it on the nursery’s door. These banners are well made 😉 and they sure will last for years if you handle them properly. Keeping the name part, is a nice idea for baby’s first birthday keepsake.

I usually tie the banners’ links together with sheer ribbon, however, this banner was so dear to me and so sophisticated, that I decided to tie it with pink and lavender fabric tulle knots.

I kept the small banners ( happy 1st birthday and high chair) simple. Those, I printed {instead of die-cut as above} and tied them with sheer ribbon.

Sorry for the large amount of pictures…they might look the same but I actually zoomed in every three links… This is the high chair banner:

And one more collage picture of all the products.

This party package is available at my Etsy Store for $85.00 plus shipping. It can be customized on any colors of your choice, any animal. If you have an idea that you would like to share with me, I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for looking, happy weekend!
