Partnering up with The Little Gym Of Boca/Delray

By:

Last summer I signed up my son for Parent/Child classes at The Little Gym of Boca/Delray. Being a SAHM, you know that your little one needs more than just the daily play date with the kids in the neighborhood at a local park or playground. I knew that Logan needed some kind of playtime where he could be having fun and learning lots of new wonderful things at the same time.

A little shy of being two years old, my son entered into this big room with a big red mat for his first class. He literally panicked! And he panicked on class 2, 3 and 4. He wouldn’t let go of my leg and cry constantly. All I would hear from other parents and from the instructors was: “It will pass and then he’s going to love it”.

Soon enough, one morning he went from crying to”hmm, that stick looks interesting, let me tap it on this bar…” and that was it. My son “soars” at The Little Gym, he has built so much confidence that now he tries to do somersaults at home, climbs-up his high chair and balances on his tip-toes and calls his Nana to show her his stunts.

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo – Train Party On Its Way!

By:

My customers inspire me.

I said it before and I will say it again: I LOVE custom orders. I love working from scratch and going from zero to hero! .

When Kasey contacted me last weekend and she asked if I had some ideas for a train birthday party I must admit I was a little lost. I could not believe that in a whole year handcrafting so many parties for little kids I have never had the chance to design a train themed birthday party. Come on! Choo choos are so cute! My son is in love with Thomas…and if that love grows bigger within the next ten months…then you’ll know what the 3rd birthday party theme will be!

So, back to what I was saying… {I got a little sidetracked there daydreaming on my son’s 3rd birthday} Kasey sent me this picture of the birthday T-Shirt she got for her son…

She wanted to keep the theme within the colors light blue, navy and red. I did my research within Etsy too, and found the cutest clip art at ViveraDesign.

All Aboard Clip Art at ViveraDesign
I have to say, I love buying within my Etsy fellows. It’s such a wonderful marketplace. Vera from Vivera Design is located in Jakarta, Indonesia – yes, the other side of the world – Oh! the wonders of the internet! I received my files within 24 hours and I was able to send Kasey a digital proof of the train party invitation. 
And here is the final product:
I can’t take credit for the wording since it was all my customers’ input and so was the idea of making the invitation look like a train ticket. I do,  however take credit of the entire design and layout. How do you like it choo choo train lovers? I am ‘all aboard’ this train!
I am having a blast designing from scratch…I am not only making my customers happy but I am supporting other artists’ businesses purchasing their original designs.
I will make sure to give you an update on this theme, since I will be designing some other train party decorations.
This train party invitation and other decorations will be soon available for sale at my Etsy shop. If you happen to stop by and don’t see anything listed, just shoot me an email at poshpaperpartiesco at gmail dot com {just change the at for an @ and the dot for an actual dot (.) } .
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend !

Fall Decoration Ideas – Pinterest Sunday

By:

I am going to get out of my ‘comfort zone’ here for a bit. It’s fall and I love it! .Even though down here in FL we don’t have ‘actual’ fall, it’s in the ‘air’, in the stores and hopefully we will get our first cool front soon {fingers crossed}.

photo via weather.com

I come from a country where there’s only one season: hot and humid. So -to me- even the hottest day in South Florida ‘is not that bad’. I love America. Period.

I love the seasonal changes and how each season brings an opportunity to breathe new air, see new clothes collections in the stores, eat different types of food and desserts 😉 … I love it all!. And of course, one of the things that excites me the most is changing decorations around the house.

It is a relaxing sunday morning and I decided to get some ‘pinspiration’ {that’s my contraction for “inspiration drawn from Pinterest”}.

Here are my DIY top picks:

1. Fall Subway Art – Free Printable

2. Fall Decorating with Hurricane Vases

3. Cinnamon Stick Letter: Tutorial

4. A plain crystal vase is all dressed up with pine cones, tree branches and crystal clear christmas ornaments. How easy and beautiful is that?

Getting pinspired now? I am hoping to get these projects done within the next few weeks and I will make sure to be back with some pictures and instructions.
Thanks for looking! Happy Fall Y’all and Happy Sunday!

Craft Room Design – The Big Reveal

By:

The moment has finally arrived and I am so excited to share with you this big reveal! For years, and I really mean it when I say years, I have dreamed of a craft room/studio. And y’all have no idea how happy this makes me! 🙂 Yes, I am like a kid with a brand new toy. The difference is that I am not going to get tired of this one, ever!

If you read my post Craft Room Design, you’ve been waiting to read this post and see the newly remodeled room. Well, wait no more, it’s here!

For months I searched the words “craft room ideas” and an image of a white craft room -or ten rather- would pop up! It’s the cleanest, nicest look. Now, before I describe how I did it I have to say that I can’t give you an exact amount of money I put into for two reasons.

1. I have been buying items for the last year here and there (on sale or not) and 2. My husband put a lot of work and craftsmanship into this and his work is priceless 😉

Ok, on to the project breakdown.

This post contains affiliate links. For more info, please read my Affiliate Disclosure.

The Walls

The room had plain white walls. I wanted the room to look clean and airy but white walls are too blah!, so I picked this muted yellow color called Banana Cream Pie from Glidden in an eggshell finish. Easy to clean. Glidden paint is sold at Home Depot.

The Flooring

Bye bye, carpet!

Even though I love the feeling of carpet under my feet { I am a barefoot type of girl }, the room needed a flooring upgrade badly. The carpet was just too worn out from all the traffic all these years. We picked laminate flooring, besides economic, which is very low maintenance.

Oh! and I can move my chair around with ease!. I keep handy a handheld vacuum that my husband gave me {he can pull out anything from the garage like a magician from a hat} and I can’t live without it. I virtually have no mess at all now!. 

Storage Cubbies

I bought these at Michaels. I initially wanted to build a “wall unit” with these cubbies and just make a small counter against the wall flanked by a pair of cubbies on each end. Then, I realized that the depth of the counter (14.5″) would be too small for my projects and then I would be begging for more space again. 

So, here is where the project took a big turn.

I had bought 22 cubbies one day at Michaels when they had a big sale. All the scrapbook storage was 40% off, plus I had a 25% off total purchase coupon. So, it was a good deal. I knew this beforehand {it pays to run to the craft store three times a week} and I made a pre-design on a sheet of paper and went there the day of the sale with a plan! 😉 That was at least 7 months ago! 

I bought a mix of cubbies with shelves, drawers, shelves and drawers, magazine holders, etc. You can see some of the other cubby designs in this picture.

I had mentioned before how difficult it was to come up with a plan, being that I had only two walls to work with. But I am delighted with what my husband and I came up with! He’s a genius, if you ask me 🙂

{ Bonus picture! } When my son saw his father working with power tools, he went running to his room,  dug inside his toy box and found his screwdriver (bottom right), and brought it to his dad… Just too cute! 

Back to the description.

The Countertop

Because I wanted a big and – I mean BIG – surface to work on, my husband custom made the counter out of wood and high gloss white Formica.  It weighs around 300 pounds! Yep, it’s huge! It came home from his shop in three pieces and he put it down over the cubbies that I had strategically placed in the room. 

Please ignore the spider web of cables I have under my desk. That’s my next project. One thing at a time. Look at the ‘big picture’ here.

On the wall side, the counter is 30 inches deep by 11 feet long. When it turns, on the left of the top picture, it’s 36 inch by 7 feet long, and then, when it turns again it’s 15.5 inches deep by 4 feet long.

We brought the cubbies forward so the counter would overhang just 1 inch. Behind the cubbies -on the wall side- there’s an opening, which we thought it would be our son’s hideaway…but it turned out to be perfect: behind those cubbies, I have a built-in garbage chute.

That hole in between my desktop station and my Cricut is for the garbage! I came up with this idea when my son started dropping all his toys inside the holes that my old desk had. And then I started dropping my garbage there too. This one has an actual garbage pail underneath! LOVE IT!

Take a close look at my built-in garbage chute in my post: 5 Easy Craftroom Organization Tips (tip #4)

The Ikea Kallax

My wall unit plan {with the cubbies} changed when I spotted this Ikea Kallax Bookcase on Pinterest. 

To my despair, Ikea does not make the largest Kallax {6×6 cubbies} in high gloss white. So, we purchased two: a 4×4 cubbies Kallax and a 4×2 cubbies Kallax and we mounted {yes, we! I picked it up and gave my hubby a hand} one on top of the other.

My main idea was to have some storage for my son’s toys on the bottom shelves. His bins are the white ones and I make sure he knows it. No more touching mommy’s stuff!

Inside the fabric bins, I have all things possible. I have come to realize that – no matter how hard you try – crafting is always going to be a little messy.

If I stopped to put ‘neatly’ away from each scrap of paper or any material for that matter, I wouldn’t be able to finish projects on time. So, these bins are wonderful. If I have leftover paper, I just drop it in its bin, leftover tulle or ribbon, in another bin…and so on.

Scrapbook Supplies Storage

Each bin is full to the top with all these supplies {they’re still neatly organized inside…I still have the ‘brand new’ fever}

  • Paper Punches
  • Solid color paper scraps
  • Patterned paper scraps
  • Stationary (includes cards, envelopes, and return labels)
  • Stamps and ink
  • Fabric, tulle, and ribbon scraps
  • Cricut accessories like jukebox, blades, vinyl rolls, along with stencils and other miscellaneous tools I don’t use every day.
  • Glue products and tools like a screwdriver, X-Acto knife, pliers, wood sander, etc
  • Acrylic paint and brushes.

The Embellishment Center

Another item I bought at Michaels at 40% off, plus 25% total purchase coupon) was the embellishment center. 

At first, I thought I wasn’t going to have a wall where to hang it because it is big and because I have an open loft I didn’t want it to be seen from the formal living room downstairs. Turns out I found the perfect wall kind of behind the Kallax but still, perfectly accessible.

I still have the black file cabinet. It’s an eyesore in this bright and fresh room, but I can’t change the color of the printer so I figured I’d rather keep the whole thing like that, seamless. Until I come up with a new plan.

In the embellishment center I keep…well, embellishments.

I cut hundreds of tiny onesies at a time for my favor tags so I store them by color in different storage jars. I also use mason jars where I keep lollipop sticks for cupcake toppers, wood craft sticks, mini clothespins, and multicolor pompoms. 

I just bought a bunch of Martha Stewart embossing powder and I am looking forward to starting new projects 🙂 Now that I have a much more functional {and inspiring} room, I’m hoping I can work on new items and projects.

The Shelves

We bought 3 of the Ikea Lack shelves in high gloss white.  I could not be happier with this set-up! They are so sleek {and I don’t dig too much the minimalist decor}, but they look so good in the craft room!

I love how I can keep my Cricut cartridges handy and they still look cute and decor the room. To the right of them, I have 4, just 4 {out of my hundred and something collection of } cats’ figurines. These 4 are dear to my heart and each one represents a special moment in my life.

Oh! and I have an {empty} cat treats canister because I have my cat on a diet…poor thing. This is the shelf on the right side of the room.

On the left side of the room I decided to just place all my blue tin buckets {these I used on my son’s Caillou Birthday Party last summer} with all my pens, markers, felt tip pens, pencils, and scissors. Easy to reach for me while I am working, hard to reach for my toddler. I think they look cute! {they scream: ‘This is a craft room!’}.

The center shelf is still empty. I have a project under my sleeve…just haven’t got the time to do it. I will make sure to come back to this post and link-up the project. The calendars, dry erase board, and corkboards I bought at my local Walmart but there is a wide variety of these products on Amazon.

The following morning, after we put the shelves and boards on this wall, I woke up to this note from my husband:

“Good Luck in your new office. You deserve the best. I love you! Me.”

With a supportive husband and an inspiring room I think I can conquer the world!

My mission with this post is to inspire you as a crafter to follow your heart and your dreams. With imagination and will power, you can achieve great results 🙂

Shabby Chic Baby Shower Decor – Vintage Style

By:

Since I was a little girl, I had a tendency to like cottage chic decor…. especially those little girl bedrooms full of white distressed furniture with pink floral bedding and splashes of aqua here and there. I remember when I first saw a picture of a beautiful ‘shabby chic’ bedroom set portrayed on a JC Penney Catalog… I was probably 10 and I ripped the page and kept it for years. Yes, I have been scrapping for a long time! 
When I first got pregnant, I knew that if I was having a baby girl, I was going to make her the most beautiful shabby chic nursery ever 😉 …God blessed me with a little sailor and instead, I designed for him a not too shabby nautical retreat.

I have been saving a shabby chic nursery post for later this year…I have an ongoing project that I would love to share with all of you, but it’s not finished ;). I will make sure to come back to this post and write an update when the time comes. Well, I do not have a shabby chic nursery for you today, but I do have a beautiful shabby chic baby shower that I designed for Daniela based on the colors pink, aqua and lavender.

Shabby Chic cardstock is not easy to find. To make a sturdy banner, I printed shabby chic scrapbooking paper and mounted it onto solid color coordinating cardstock.

Shabby Chic Baby Shower Banner

This particular banner read: “Lu’s Baby Shower” – a long one, yes – 

This time I incorporated pastel color mini clothes pins instead of wooden ones. Both types are itty bitty cute and pretty 🙂 ! 
The patterns include roses, stripes and damask.
I made cupcake toppers out of the tiny roses on pink and tiny roses on aqua papers. I do not carry this design of cupcake toppers anymore – printed on the back – I would only make them if custom ordered. They are a little more time – and ink- consuming therefore, the cost is higher. 
These are the food tents. I sent these blank because the customer hadn’t decided on the menu just yet. But I do offer them with the food names printed on it. 
We kept the cupcake wrappers in coordinating solid colors. These are the perfect final touch for the cupcakes. 
Cupcake wrappers ship flat and ready to assemble. 
These are two samples of shabby chic baby shower favor tags. Tiny roses on pink…{very popular in my shop} and featured on an Etsy Treasury.

For more shabby chic baby shower decor or nursery decor, check out my shop. I am constantly adding new products. If you have any questions or any particular request, please ask! I heart custom orders. Send me an email to poshpaperpartiesco at gmail dot com { replace the at for a @ and the dot for an actual dot (.) } nobody likes spammers!

Thank you for looking! 🙂

Pink Kitty First Birthday Party – Pink and Lavender

By:

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! 

Nautical Birthday Party Package – Coming Soon!

By:

I am so excited!
I have been searching high and low for the perfect clip art to make a whimsy and special nautical themed printable party package and last week, I finally found something I fell in love with! I will also be selling handcrafted customized party goodies as usual.
Baby Patrick is the lucky boy to get the first physical package on the mail this week!

So far I designed cupcake toppers, Happy Birthday bunting banner and water labels (not pictured).

These are not the ‘official ‘ pictures, these are my Instagrams 🙂 {how addictive is that? }. Notice that the bunting banner below is not finished…I tied the flags together with knots made out of grosgrain red ribbon.
I will be posting soon more details about this package which I am going to customize for a nautical baby shower too. Customers will have the option to buy it handcrafted or printable. Once done, I will post the link to it here. 
Thanks for looking and sharing. Will see you soon! 

Craft Room Design

By:

I have been planning to redesign my office/studio for the last year or so. In a year, I have seen so many pictures of craft room decorating ideas, furniture and storage products, that I am a little overwhelmed by it. I have seen thousands of products and storage systems and I have not one, but two Pinterest boards with lots of “pinspiration” {is that a word?, it is now! } and they have been of great help. The time has come and we are { that’s hubby and me } going to tackle this mess during the next two week s and hopefully {fingers crossed} it will be done very, very soon.

This room started as a regular home-office, with a computer hutch, a desk and a bookcase. We bought this set 6 years ago, and it looked something like this…

If I would’ve known then that I was going to end up finding my bliss paper-crafting, sanding wood and painting, I would’ve chosen something more laid back and more appropriate. But, since my husband and I love DIY-ing, it’s actually nice to have the opportunity to step into a new project. 

Our home office is located on the second floor, in a room that I would call it a hybrid between a den and a loft… Some people call it a den, some call it the loft. The bottom line here is:  there’s no doorway, it’s all open. If you have a mess {like I do 90% of the time}, everyone will see it and you can’t say:  ‘I will just shut the door’. No.
To my advantage, this room is located at the end of the hallway and no one has to go past it to go to another room. If you go in that direction, you’re going to the office.
I have been dreading the fact that, in order to be able to share “the big reveal’ with you, I have to share the “the big mess” first. But it’s ok, I will get over it. You will too, I promise.
Here is a picture of the room as you walk in.
To the left is the railing, open to the 12 ft high ceiling living room. Beautiful, yes. Scary when you have a toddler at home. I have to keep my Making Memories Desktop Carousel on top of the hutch {upper left corner} to keep all the tools away from my toddler’s little fingers.
To the right, there’s a sliding door that leads to a small deck, and this is the best part of having the office located in this loft. This is my view every morning when I ‘come to work’.
And this is the view every afternoon…
Even though this is extremely nice, I only have two walls – one across from the other – to work with and that interferes with my craft room layout ideas. It would have been easier to design the layout in a room with two walls converging in a 90-degree angle.
This is the other wall, across the hutch. Yikes! This is the part I dread the most about sharing…
We bought this armoire five years ago, we scored it at a Rooms To Go Outlet. It was a floor sample, so we paid half the price {$480.00 if I remember correctly}. At the time I was only scrapbooking, and my collection of embellishments, stickers, glitter, embossing powder, and tools was growing rapidly.
Those little drawers were perfect to stash them away while the bigger drawers held loose cardstock and paper pads. Behind the doors there are two shelves, it was the perfect storage for magazines, books, and albums. The 4 bottom drawers stored my son’s toys for the last 2 years…and that’s why they are all crooked and falling off. They don’t close properly anymore. My son has been pulling those drawers daily for the last 14 months.
To the left is my massive laser printer sitting on a black filing cabinet (that came from our old business office). My husband built a custom wood top for the cabinet, that’s how big the printer is. I don’t like this set-up at all, I am thinking I want to spray paint the cabinet white to match all the new furnishings.
To the right, there’s a storage ottoman I found at Home Goods. It was one of those impulsive purchases. I love it but it’s big and I am having a hard time finding a place for it {can you tell?}. That frame that you see to the right, is my BS diploma. It looks misplaced, I know. I had to move it over when I started stashing things on top of the armoire. As I said, this is a project in the making for the last year. I am delighted that it’s actually happening this weekend!
Here is the desk. My one and only working surface area.
Not having enough surface to work on, triggered the idea of re-designing the studio. When my Etsy sales spiked last year around this time, I had to work on 5 or 6 parties at a time and this desk looked like a bomb went off.
I bought several Iris Project Cases and stored each party project separately. It works like a charm, but I still need the surface to spread my tools. See that canvas, and the wooden words ‘Dream’ and ‘Imagine’ on the desk? It’s a project I am working on to decorate the studio. I am excited!
This office may look empty now but it is only because I have moved out 90% of my tools and supplies to another room so we can start moving furniture out. Before these pictures were taken, this room was ‘chaos’. I could not share the chaos.
We will be working on the big project this current week and hopefully, we will have everything done by the weekend. So, stay tuned and come back to check my “Craft Room Design – The Big Reveal “ post.
Just one hint: I am painting the room “Banana Cream Pie” by Glidden (found at Home Depot) and all the furniture is white. Yay! for a fresh and airy craft room!
Thanks for looking!

Gender Neutral Baby Shower Banner – Pastel Colors

By:

When throwing a neutral gender baby shower, green and yellow seems to be the preferred palette for moms to be. However, there’s nothing wrong with adding some other pastel colors like baby blue or lavender… even throwing a hint of pink is absolutely ok. 
When it comes to “baby talk” my favorite quote says: ” Babies are kiss from Heaven, blown by the hand of God ”  and to me, my precious baby has a hint of all the colors in the rainbow, the colors of the sunrise and the sunset all together.

A few months back I created this beautiful banner for “Baby Morgan”

The baby shower theme was “Ready to Hatch” and we incorporated the bird in the banner, keeping the letters in pastel yellow on top of a very delicate patterned cardstock. 
The patterns included stripes, polka dots, stars…
and this cute pattern with all baby items/words printed on it ( picture below – first onesie with the letter O ).
For this particular banner, instead of hanging the onesies with clothespins on a tulle, the customer preferred to have them tied to each other with tulle knots. I used green, white and lavender tulle to make the knots.
This order included 130 favor tags ( big party ah?! ) and I kick myself because I did not take pictures of them. Even though it was my popular onesie design on a scalloped background, this time the onesie was die cut on this yellow gingham patterned paper and it looked lovely. 
Don’t be afraid of adding a touch of lavender or pink to your gender neutral baby shower…after all, there’s 50% chances that you will have a baby girl too…so why settle for just green and yellow?
By the way, consider this too when designing your neutral gender nursery. Not much the adding pink and lavender part, but thinking outside the box an adding pops of bright color to your baby’s room. Take a peek a this Cool and Retro Neutral Gender Nursery and design board and get inspired.
Thanks for looking! Happy Baby Shower planning! 

Baby Shower Favor Tags – Wording Ideas

By:

What should I write on baby shower favors? That is a very common question customers ask me when ordering favor tags for this occasion.

I have made so many baby shower favor tags in the last year that I think I have enough material to write this blog post {and I am sure there’s more to come!}.

Each “saying” is accompanied by a picture, so you can also see examples of color and patterns combinations and get inspired.

Note: You’re going to see A LOT of onesies! They are people’s favorite! 

OK. Let’s get to it:

1} Most popular and no brainer: ” Thanks for coming! –  Lu’s Baby Shower “


2} If you have picked your baby’s name, this wording is appropriate and very cute!: “Welcome Baby Harlyn Annabelle”
I love this pink and lavender favor tag so much I have to post another picture 😉
 
I love… { I know, I love all of them ! } this shabby chic favor tag with a baby blue background, not too common for a baby girl baby shower, but it works well!
3} You can also omit the word ‘baby’ and just write a plain: “Welcome Elizabeth Robin”
4} This is another simple wording, it includes the name of the mom to be and the date of the baby shower: “Cara’s Baby Shower – February 26th-2012”. No onesie here, this tag was for a customer hosting a vintage themed baby shower and wanted a vintage baby carriage. Cute!
 


5} Sometimes, baby showers are not only offered for the mom-to-be but also for the dad-to-be. This particular tag was meant to be tied around a drink for a picnic themed baby shower.

It reads: ” Stephanie and Travon’s Baby Shower – Cheers for Baby Aidan”. Notice that to give the tag a rustic feeling, customer chose baking twine instead of satin ribbon.
How about this one to welcome your little prince? This particular tag was made to match the A New Little Prince Baby Shower theme.
6} Here is another example using the baby’s name and the date of the baby shower: “Baby Kendra – April 7th-2012” . I love this tag! The customer asked me if I could customize the background to be cherry blossoms, and I did. I love the palette of green and pink with a hint of brown that comes from the cherry blossoms tree.
7} This is one of the most popular favor tags in my shop, if not THE MOST popular. In fact, they were featured on a Etsy Treasury list. It was designed for a shabby chic themed baby shower where the baby shower hostess was giving tea bags as favors.
It reads: “A Baby is Brewing – Kim’s Baby Shower”.
