{Sugar & Spice and Everything Nice Invite}

I recently designed a sweet little invite for a friend and could not be more thrilled because sugar and spice was actually nicknames for twin sis and I when we were growing up so it was definitely a fun piece to create. And I even hand lined the envelopes in kraft paper for an added touch. :)

What do you think of this charming baby shower theme?

{Mixed Media Kids Art}

We had some fun painting at home the other day and I was looking for a way to make the project something special. After a quick search on Pinterest I found something easy and fun to use as an inspiration for our project. 

We started by finger painting on a nice thick matte photo paper (I use Staples brand). 

Then we snapped a couple of cute pictures outside.

I cropped and outlined the pictures in Adobe Illustrator. Then asked the kids a few questions about their favorite things and Voila! A unique project that is made up of finger painting + current picture + favorite things makes for some mixed media awesomeness that can displayed at home for the kiddos to be proud of! What do you think for our project?

{Free Halloween Printable}

With Halloween fast approaching we are already starting to plan plenty of spooky parties. For these themed events treats are wayyyyy more important than tricks. So we have designed some fun treat toppers/labels for you! Make your guests shriek with joy over these lovely labels. We added ours on top of cupcakes but you can use them as labels on clear treat bags or however you like!

Are you planning any events for Halloween? What will your trick or treat smell my feet give me something good to eat be?

{Fisher Price House Party}

Well the awesome House Party has come and gone.. and boy did we have a great time!  I wanted to share with you the details and some photos of the little ones enjoying the new toys that Fish Price sent. 

The goody bag fillers!! Fisher Price provided the Wheelies, Little People themed coloring books, CDs and DVDs. I added crayons, fun straws, play doh and some snacks!

 The favor table! The mommies even got a prize too :) They got a cute coffee mug with some Bath and Body works hand sanitizer and lotion and the coupons Fisher Price sent.

The treats and drinks. Being that the play date was at 10 am I served coffee cake, bagels and cream cheeses, fruit kebobs and gold fish and graham crackers for the littles.

I finally got myself a set of mason cars which I served the mommies Iced coffee in, it went over well! 

And here are the little ones having FUN with all the toys Fisher Price sent! As ou can see my attempt at a group photos wasn't working so well.
