{baby shower} you are my sunshine

alice contacted me through etsy and asked about making her a custom baby shower invitation for her baby sister who's expecting her first baby and lives in germany. so needless to say, she wanted to make this shower extra special for niki. alice was thinking yellow because they didn't know the baby's gender and said she wanted to use the song you are my sunshine because she remembers niki singing it to their mom when she was young. so after lots of great ideas from alice i came up with this design. she loved it.



she also wanted baby bingo cards



words of wisdom cards



name game cards



and envelope seals




i love how these turned out.

thanks, alice!

{birthday invite} katygirl's 30th

what a sweet blessing to be surrounded by great friends.

this year most of my friends, including me, are turning 30. i don't know what to think about my birthday yet. i know this sounds silly but 30 doesn't sound as old as it used to. but i'm still wondering when i'll feel like a real adult, because so far i don't. it seems weird for me to think that i have two kids, and that my oldest is going to kindergarten in the fall, i'm surely not old enough for that!

anywho, scottyboy asked davi, lori and i to throw a party for our dear friend and we all joyfully accepted the task.



We divided the duties and i got the best job, making the invites and party favors.







davi hosted, her backyard is sooooooo cute and the perfect size for a dinner party for 16.





and lori decorated, made desserts and even brought her telephone booth for decoration. so cute!





we had a great night celebrating our sweet friend. can't wait to do it all over again in 10 years!

april was full of baby showers around here. next up was katy's. our amazing girl bethany hosted katy's shower and i was once again priviledged to design the invitations. here's what we came up with.



i fell in love with this invite, and still one of my all time favs. you could use this for all sorts of events. i even see it as a wedding invite {minus the baby buggy and paci} with all the matching components.

our super cute friend made cookie pops for the favor, not only were they cute but yummy too! i also made super cute food label signs {on the fly}.

and not because either one of us loves this picture



but only because it should be documented. love you for being a great friend and love that sweet baby boy of yours.

i was asked by my sweet friend to design some invites for a mutual friends upcoming baby shower. i was so excited to do this and work with my super creative friend! we came up with a black and yellow theme {love}; we had so much fun working together on this project and i think it's darling.

i also designed some super cute prayer cards and treat bag toppers. the whole party was adorable and all to celebrate a sweet new babe.
