Baby Girl Sprinkle

My friend April had her second child, a daughter, just a few weeks after I had Chael. I made her invitations and favors as well. I love all of the chalkboard signs I see on Pinterest, so I decided to use her colors and make her invitation look like a chalkboard. I had fun downloading all sorts of chalkboard fonts and playing with the layout. Her favors were Pink Zebra sprinkles in sweet pea scent. On the back of the tag is the Pink Zebra consultant information. I forgot to take a picture of her thank you cards, so below is the digital file.

Bee Thank You Cards

You may remember this post for my friend's bee themed baby shower. Well these are the thank you cards. They measure 3.5 x 5 and were the perfect size for a little thank you note! I created them MDS and used the same background that I did for the invitations. I love making coordinating sets!

And I love things in multiples! Here are 90 thank yous!

Construction Party Thank Yous!

I posted pictures of Greyson's construction party a few weeks ago, well here are the Thank You's I made for them. Again, I had to make a layout that included several places for photos because there were so many cute ones to choose from! They were made in MDS and are 5x7.

Birthday Thank You Card

Isn't he adorable?? These are the Thank You cards I made for this birthday. They were very simple to make and that's how Landon's mom wanted them. I used iPhoto to blur out a balloon that was in the background, then inserted the photo into MDS and added the text. I used the "picker" color tool to match the text color to the icing. Once they were printed I rounded the corners and voila! The picture speaks for itself!

Bowling Party Invitations

These invitations are from November, but I just realized I never posted them!! I made these for a co-worker's grandson. I really liked how they turned out. This was one of the first projects I made using My Digital Studio! The invitation is layered on white and red cardstock. 

Don't mind the blue bar that runs through these. I was blocking out her email address. I did these before I discovered how to "blur" out information :)

I also made these Thank You cards to match. It is just a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 red cardstock base layered with white cardstock and the image designed on MDS. 

Football Birthday!

I'm finally getting around to posting about my son's first birthday party! This year his birthday fell on the day before the Super Bowl, so it was only fitting to do a football party. I made everything using My Digital Studio. I had a lot of party ideas saved on Pinterest, so it was fun to be able to finally put them to use!

Here are his invitations, which were made to look like football tickets!

This was the dessert table. My friend Carrie made the football shaped cupcakes! On the right is his baby flip book, made with MDS. It is 50 pages long and covers his entire first year. It was a big hit! Hanging behind everything were his monthly pictures, hunt with mini clothes pins. Also on the table is his hospital shadow box and birth print that I made. The cookies were green candy covered oreos piped with white icing to look like field markers. 

Here is a close up of the cookies and the baby book. 

Water bottle labels made with MDS. (as you can tell by the Christmas decorations, I had been working on party stuff for a while! My dining room table looked like a football party exploded!)

These were the favors. I ran the bags through my printer with a football play I found on Google. It's hard to read, but the sticker says "We would like to call a time out to say thank you". The lighting wasn't great in my dining room, but I promise you could read it. Everyone also got a pencil that had footballs on it and said "Slevin's First Birthday" that I ordered from Oriental Trading. 

Inside the bags were Hershey's nuggets that I had wrapped in labels that I made. Such an easy way to personalize favors :)

This was the entry to the party room. I made the chalk sign by painting a piece of thick cardboard with chalkboard paint.

This was the backdrop behind the foot table! It took FOREVER to hang all of those balloons and streamers, but it was so worth it! You can also see off to the right a chain that I had made from brown strips of paper and painted white "laces" on. There were two of those, but I forgot to get a close up of them.

Here is what the room looked like! 

This was Slevin's seat! I made his party hat from felt and little pom poms. I also made his sign using MDS. It says "Reserved for the Quarterback". You can see it better in the next picture.

And, as you can see, he wasn't too thrilled about people singing to him! haha

Deviled "football" eggs! Thanks to my sister for cutting all the chives for these!

Here is me and the birthday boy! :) I can't believe he is 1!!

These are his thank you cards, also made with MDS. I wrote a personal message to each person on the back. 

Thank You Notes

I made these thank you notes about 2 years ago after my friends threw me a surprise bridal shower. I used left over scrapbook paper from the favors they had made to make these thank you's so that they matched the party. I made about 10 extra to have on hand in case I needed one real quick. I just sent one out this week and it reminded me that I hadn't posted them.

None of the products used were Stampin' up and although it doesn't look like it in these pictures, I promise in person the pinks match. :)

We just had Slevin's first birthday party this past weekend, so I will be working on a post with pictures from that, including his invitation, which I made on MDS and turned out SUPER cute!! I also am working on 5 orders right now (and two more are going to be coming in once party details are finalized), plus just finished one, so I've been a busy girl! I can't wait to post them, but they are Spring/Summer events so it will be awhile before I put them on here.
