New Collection: Crazy for Cupcakes!

The inspiration for this collection came about because I was on the hunt for the perfect theme/color combination for my niece's first birthday party. As it was stated in the featured party post, it took a bit to come up with cupcakes ('cuppies' I like to call them), but once the theme was decided, it was easy to design around it. There are cupcakes galore as well as the age the child was turning (in this case the number '1' was used). In addition a 'Happy Birthday' message was added to parts of the design; specifically in the cupcake toppers. The design came out great!

Featured Party: Emersyn's Cupcake Party

After what seemed like months and months (which really was just a couple weeks) of trying to think of the perfect theme for my niece's first birthday party and having free reign to do whatever I wanted, the idea of cupcakes and the number "1" was the winner. The design itself was done MONTHS before her actual birthday because I wanted everything to be absolutely perfect. Not only was this my Goddaughter's First birthday, a good portion of my family and my sister and brother-in-law's family and friends would see the work that Lindsey and I work so hard to make perfect come to life for the first time. I wanted and needed everything to be as perfect as possible.

Lindsey and I are both so happy with how this collection came out. Everyone at the party thought it was very cute. Everything came together just as expected and Emersyn had a great first birthday!

Featured Party: Sophia's Candy Land Adventure

My first 'big' party was for a sweet little girl named Sophia. Sophia was turning one and her mom, Jessica, contacted me through Etsy. I had a great time helping Jessica out with the party - it was helpful that she was really creative. In the two months I spent helping Jessica prepare for Sophia's party we became great friends.

1) Jessica had a local baker create her a Candy Land Theme cake. The cake even include parts of the game board!

2) I love how each of her cupcakes had their own uniqueness.

3) A Candy Land path was created with colored card stock.

4) I created this "I AM ONE" high chair banner for her. I printed and shipped the letters and she assembled with rainbow colored ribbons.

5)I printed this banner and Jessica assembled.

6)These are Sugar Tree Press gift tags attached to toothbrushes. I loved this idea paired up with the candy buffet.

7) A cavity waiting to happen. I designed the hershey wrappers and the 'Grab a Bag' sign.

8) Jessica came to me with this idea, I printed and sent little circles with each month on it, to attach to it's respective photo. 1 month all the way to 1 year.

9) Paper Napkin Rings by STP
10) Sophia holding onto a water bottle - label designed by STP.
11) Mini-Hershey Bar Wrappers. I sent Jessica this digital file, she took it to Staples and had it printed. Depending on your party size it can be very cost effective to print yourself.
12) I had such a great time helping out Jessica that I thought I would include a little gift for Sophia.

In the seven months since I helped plan this party I have learned a lot! I am so grateful Jessica allowed me to be part of Sophia's special day!
