Pinned Pretty: Birthday Party
Hi everyone and Happy Wednesday! Tomorrow is my baby girl’s birthday- and it always makes me happy to see this project pinned on Pinterest. It was a fun birthday to throw- and I think it’s one she will always remember. Jaxen helped me make these cute little treat holders for Bubblicious gum- we used the “Thanks for Popping by” sentiment from PBD Sweet Grams and Echo Park’s new line Hello Summer by Lori Whitlock.

I’ve always had healthy pregnancies- so, I am a little stressed out about the complications, but I know we are going to be okay. My...

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday!! Today I have a simple card that I actually love! I am thinking I am going to make several of these for “thank you” cards. What do you think? I used a piece of 8.5 x 11 white card stock cut at 4 inches and folded over. I added a cheap little paper doily–you know how much I love doilies, because they bring so much “pretty” to a project for such a tiny investment. I used chevron yellow paper from DCWV’s Sunday Afternoon stack….love. this. stack. Some dark...

The pencil box is a shape from the Silhouette Store by Jennifer Wambach - I just love how cute this box turned out!
