Dinosaur Birthday

August 13, 2019

Stomp, Chomp, Roar! This party is a fun filled, colourful prehistoric adventure!
A dino-mite party with absolutely a-roar-able decorations, treats, favors and more!

Niko-Saurus has spent the better part of the year in a make believe dinosaur world, so naturally, why not bring it to life with a birthday party!

These party hats are too cute with the back side showing spikes!

No better a favor for this party than a dino adoption…or two!

For the older party guests, I found these great and challenging 3D puzzle designs at the dollar store. In what could be a bit boring of party for those 10+, this favor gives them something to do while the littles run around making T Rex sound effects!

Evon of Cookievonster never disappoints, these dino-mite cookies where hand cut to follow my paper designs. Amazing talent!

Roar this way to Niko’s 5th Birthday!

Carnivores, Herbivores and Sweetivores : All Welcome

I made these adorable mini party hats with the coordinating party papers. These guests were happy to join in on the fun!

Happy celebrating!

Dreamy Woodland Fairy Party

July 21, 2013

I had the pleasure of once again working with Amy of A Dazzle Day. Her attention to detail and many DIY party decorations really makes her stand out as a fabulous party stylist! We worked closely together to create this dreamy lavender and mint woodland fairy party package that came alive for her daughter Mia’s second birthday. It is equally as beautiful as her Princess Safari Party that she styled for Mia’s first birthday, found here! This gorgeous party was featured on Hostess with the Mostess, here.

These adorable toadstool seat covers were handmade by Amy and she was so kind as to put together a tutorial for all those interested. This tutorial and following DIY projects for this party were all featured on Hostess with the Mostess along with the party itself! These seat covers are an easy sewing project and totally affordable, click here for the step by step instructions!

From fairy wands, custom clay ornaments, wooden peg fairy doll and hand stamped muslin purses, these little fairy guests were made to feel very special in Mia’s enchanted garden!

The fairy tutus for this party were also made by Amy and are available in her Etsy shop A Dazzle Da y!

The wooden peg fairy doll tutorial can be found here.

I do love this party hat that was created by Amy and I think Mia truly felt like a fairy princess!

The tutorial for the woodland name card holders can be found here.

Napkin wraps are included in all party packages and I love to see them used because they really do add so much to the party decor. Amy further embellished with hand stamped wooden cutlery and cute elastic ribbon is made to resemble fairy wings. So clever! The tutorial for these wraps can be found here.

I do hope you enjoyed this sprinkling of fairy dust as it was one enchanted party from start to end!

The full party package can be found in my Etsy shop, just click on the listing picture above!

Wishing you all a party full of fairy magic!

Vintage Lace Cowgirl Party

November 18, 2012

Yee Haw! This party was designed and styled for my niece Mia’s 4th birthday. Our inspiration was vintage lace and some good ol’ sweet southern charm. All things girly and oh course, pink were welcome for this sweet lil cowgirl shindig!

The pink ombre cake was a new learning experience for my sister and me. We baked three layers of cake and added more food coloring with each layer. At first, I thought we could achieve the look the natural way by using pureed strawberries, but we soon realized that we would have to crack open the dye. The rosette frosting, although not perfect, I think it adds to that sweet ‘handmade by mommy’ look. Please note, you will be needing lots of frosting if you want to create those pretty rosettes!

These gorgeous hand iced lace sugar cookies were created by the fabulously talented Evon, of Cookievonster. She always amazes me with her fabulous talent!

I have come to love spray paint after styling this party. We purchased the little horse figurines at the dollar store and decided to make them gold along with some buttons so to add a shine to the dessert table. One gold horse was used for the cake topper to our pink ombre cake.

We wanted this the backdrop to be sweet and whimsical so we opted to create it of ribbon and lace.

So many lovely details worked together to create our rustic, yet modern cowgirl party; lace doilies, natural burlap, velvet, satin and leather ribbons. But, the sweetest of all was the little cowgirl princess. Happy Birthday beautiful!

Aloha Hawaiian Luau Party

October 23, 2012

In thinking about posting my niece’s 4th Vintage Cowgirl Birthday party that happened last month, I remembered that I hadn’t yet posted her 3rd Birthday Hawaiian Luau. Custom designed with my spunky and adorable Mia in mind, the collection is bright and happy and the hibiscus flower as the main design!

We assembled the grass cake skirt and it set the tone for the luau candy table. We hot glue gunned the raffia grass skirt, ribbon and pom poms to a dark wood charger. It was then placed on a high cake stand…fun and cute!

Bright and colourful candy kabobs were a quick favourite! I recommend making these the day of and laying them flat until your guests arrive as the candy will fall the longer gravity has its way! Also in hindsight, I would use extra long lollipop sticks because they are safer for the kids to be walking around with.

Birthday girl Mia, welcomed each of her guests with a a friendly ‘aloha’ and a festive lei. She also send them home with a ‘mahalo’ treat bag to fill with all the party sweets!

The beautiful cookies were created by Tara of Bambella Cookie Boutique.

A fun activity was the Postcard Photo booth, where the kids could dress up and play with the many props provided.

Happy 3rd Birthday Sunshine!

Princess Safari Party

May 4, 2012

Well, a few months ago, I had a custom request to create a mod safari package in pastel colors. The very sweet and talented photographer, Amy of A Dazzle Day, was looking to create a special first birthday theme for her daughter, Mia and wow! she definitely did not disappoint! This party is full of so many whimsical and sweet details, I barely know where to begin, but begin I will…

She designed and created the felt birthday hat, but she also cleverly embellished the patterned party hats created for the package. It is amazing what simple tissue paper can do to spice up a party hat. Note to self…must try this out!

The party tables were full of so many vintage details, this favor table is just so sweet and ecclectic…lace, burlap, rik rak ribbon, all work together so nicely.

Amy designed and handmade all the felt animals and party hat.

Side note: I have used these lollipops at parties I have thrown and you can find them at Micheal’s. The thank you stickers and ribbon actually come with the lollipops and make for great and affordable party favors!

How adorable, it really is a beautiful party, but there is much more cuteness to come…

I just love those leg warmers and the colorful tutu!

Amy layered the water bottle wrapper with a lace doily, which makes for a vintage look. I can tell she used a glass Starbucks frappuccino bottle. Washed and cleaned, they are a great size for the kids birthday parties! These adorable polka dot straws can be purchased from many sellers on Etsy and really add so much to the look.

The cupcake toppers are backed with coordinating tissue rosettes. The are very simple to make and I plan to post a tutorial on how to create them sometime in the near future. Amy used the cupcake wrappers provided in the party package and I think they add are really nice finishing touch!

Just when I thought this momma couldn’t be more talented, I find out she actually made these adorable cookies too. I am very impressed as I have tried my hand at decorating sugar cookies and it does take a fair bit of skill. Very cute!

Thank you so much for sharing your birthday girl’s very special day with us. Simply adorable and so much love and care put into each and every detail!

Happy celebrating!
