Motorcycle Mania - 6th Birthday Party

Vroom!  We recently completed this cute custom party package for a lucky six year old who loves motorcycles...Custom pieces included a square invitation with rounded corners and coordinating backer, custom Thank You note cards, cupcake toppers, favor tags, and a fun Happy Birthday pennant banner!

Special thanks to Brett's Mom, Sara, who sent over snaps of the favor tags and cupcake toppers in action!

Happy Birthday to Me! - Tinka & Tiga

I just finished celebrating an absolutely fabulous birthday weekend with my family.  It was filled with cupcakes, date night, extra special birthday meals, and the official opening of my very own online store!! I'm so excited to announce that I have my very first "Prête-à-Party" printable collection up for sale in my new Etsy shop, Tinka & Tiga!

 

Tinka & Tiga is named in honor of my late Great Aunt Peggy, the consummate hostess and glamour girl.  Everything about Peggy was always just so: from her perfectly applied signature red lipstick, to her miniature poodles Tinka & Tiga (who sported matching pedicures and bows in the same shade of signature red), to the festive fêtes she often threw!  When I think of fun, stylish parties Aunt Peggy always comes to mind. :)

 

I hope you enjoy my premiere collection of party printables, "Zoo Pals"!  Featuring cute animal illustrations, polka dots, and stripes in shades of yellow and red, this set was inspired by my one year old Max, who loves to point to the animals and make their sounds. (According to him, Giraffes and Lions have a very similar roar!)

Zoo Pals includes a 5 x 7 Panel Invitation, a 3 1/2 x 5 folding Thank You Note Card, Happy Birthday Banner, Patterned 3" Bunting, Drink Wraps, Party Labels, 7 Party Logo/Circles perfect for cupcake toppers, hang tags, and napkin rings, Cupcake Wrappers, Fold Over Favor Bag Toppers made to fit standard sandwich bags and 6 inch cello bags, and 4 different patterned papers.

Please check out our newly opened storefront on Etsy...this is just the first of many printable collections to come...I hope you enjoy!  (A la Carte listings coming soon!)

Max's 1st Birthday - Decorations

As promised in an earlier posting featuring Max's birthday invites, here are some pics from his recent Curious George Themed 1st Birthday!  Due to an epic camera fail, I only managed to get one good pic before the batteries died... But I did get a pretty good shot of Max's custom party hat and napkin rings...

Thanks to Max's grandparents, I did manage to snag a copy of this photo of the party table in mid-setup.  Max had an adorable custom pennant birthday banner, as well as cupcake wrappers and toppers!

Also managed to snag a photo of Max's reaction when he saw his birthday party for the first time...I think he liked it!  ;)

Max's 1st Birthday

There are three things you should know about Max:

1) He's Adorable.
2) He loves monkeys.
3) He REALLY loves Curious George.

He loves to read Curious George, watch Curious George, and even drags a little Curious George monkey around with him.


In celebration of Max's first birthday, I created an invitation to his Curious George themed birthday party inspired by his favorite book of Curious George stories.


The 8 page "book" in colors of red, yellow, and blue told a short story about Curious George and his friend Max and invited the recipient to join them in celebrating Max's 1st Birthday!

See? I told you he's adorable. Max with his best friend George pictured on the end page of his invitation. Stay tuned for more pics featuring Max's coordinating birthday decor!
