Movie Buff strikes again

Remember the movie themed birthday party I was planning for my movie buff hubby? You can see the invitations here. Well, its progressing very well. Thank you for asking :)

I am working on these vintage style 'Admit One' cupcake wrappers. And aren't these vintage clapper cupcake toppers cute?

Tying up some loose ends (literally) for some pending birthday orders. Will be back soon with a new post!

Rainbow Loom Invites!

I feel old, because I did not even realise what a Rainbow Loom was until a client came requested for a themed Rainbow Loom party invite!

And I kept wondering if she meant Rainbows and maybe her 9 year old was also interested in knitting, and she wanted to combine the two ideas? Then I recalled saying Rainbow Loom out of stock at Spotlight and Woah! It struck me!!!

This is all the rage now, (so the young people of the world have deemed).

Here's a Rainbow Loom birthday party invite I designed.

I love how the colours pop out. Reminds of those ancient television sets :)

When Frozen took over the World...

I jumped on the Frozen bandwagon pretty late. But Ya, I fell in love with lil Olaf....

I hear there's an entire Frozen revolution among little girls. So obviously I had to create these favour bags. Obviously, I just had to.

Its like the bag just wants to jump and hug you all! A perfect accompaniment for a Frozen themed party :)

Lego Favor boxes

I went through this stage in my life where I LOOOVVVEED Legos. Then I had kids, and I bought them Legos. And then I HATED Legos. They found themselves under sofas, behind cupboards, and any other place which require me to go on all fours and retrieve them.

Now Legos and me are on a Cold War basis. We keep out of each others way. As best as we can. The kids love it.

So these favour boxes are dedicated to them. To my kiddos, without whom I would have finished making these boxes a few hours earlier ;)

These Lego favour boxes would be awesome for a Lego party. Can do Lego invites too.

The size and colour can be customised. In fact, these boxes/bag/invites would brighten up any party!

Baby Shower Diaper Invites

I know the title of this post is a little intriguing and you all must be wondering, does she mean a diaper cake, because she sure as hell cannot make an actual invitation from diapers.

But what I meant were these uber-cute diaper invitations for a baby shower. Can I get an "Awwwww"?

I ran out of satin ribbon and made do with regular ribbon. But for classy effect, I'll be using satin ribbon. Cos a baby and his Mom deserve the best :)

The invitations can be opened and there is enough space to write/print out your invitation, or a thank you note if you're using these as a favour tag.

They can be used for a baby shower or a gender reveal party or...ahem....learning how to put on a diaper the correct way for your firstborn ;)

A 'Roar-some' Animal Party

My toddler is crazy about 'aminals' right now. Since the theme offered a lot of variety, I had a lot of fun planning his Animal/Zoo/Safari Birthday Party in February 2014.

Here are the pop-up invitations. Pull the puppy's tongue and his ears pop out!

Origami butterfly art on one wall.

A tiger print wreath for the door.

Animal banner.....

Owl garland and the 'zoo' wall.

Slithering snakes around the curtains, tiger and zebra print lanterns and tiny standing animals too!

The Aquarium Wall also served as a great photo backdrop for the guests.

Jungle vines

A panda tissue box. Isn't that cute or what?

 Walking Penguin juice boxes anyone? :)

The favours included these elephant whistles. Watch the trunks grow long as you blow!

 "Whoos Hungry" menu :)

Olive penguins with cream cheese filling and tiny little carrot feet and beaks.

Cherry tomato ladybirds on cucumber leaves.

Animals crossing the celery 'bridges'

Sausage octopuses

Snakey grapes

Caterpillar sandwiches

Each child went back with a monkey favour bag filled with these adorable owl candy bags and the elephant whistles.

Rainbow Birthday Party

I organised a Rainbow Birthday Party for my 1 year old in 2013. It was a relatively new theme at the time. And decorations and cake and food was hard to come by. That's when I decided to plan and execute my party from scratch. 

I had a rainbow balloon garland by the window and hanging cardboard rainbows from the ceiling, interspersed by cotton 'clouds'.

A photo backdrop with balloons and streamers.

A crepe rainbow with a pot o'gold at the end :)

Rainbow invitations

Rainbow cake. Not baked by me, if you wondered :)

Rainbow jello

Rainbow ice cubes...yo!

Personalised rainbow disposable cups. Sure to bring a smile on everyones face.

Rainbow cutlery stand

Not a great view. But we were in a hurry and didn't take sufficient pics. On the table, was the rainbow fruit platter with marshmallow clouds. And marshmallow M&M pops to go with the theme.

Goodie bags. I had rainbow coloured packs of sketch pens in the bags.

A lil Photoshop magic with my kiddos.. sigh missing my chubby 1 year old :(
