waste not, want not

give me a sheet of 19.5″ x 27.5″ decorative paper and i will make sure to use every bit of it!

after using this decorative sheet of paper as envelope liner for my birthday invites, i kept the big pieces of scraps, like i always do, in hopes of using it for another project.

well this time around i decided to make custom cupcake toppers…

i can’t wait to get into the kitchen and bake the cupcakes for it!  check back in a few to see how the final piece turns out.

like the idea of custom “in a card” cupcake toppers for your next party???  drop me an email and we can talk details.

all deco’d out for 30

i think designing my own birthday invitation has been a bigger challenge than designing one for someone else. it took me a whole month to finalize the design and it went through several changes in the beginning construction phases until the final piece was complete. (the hardest critic is always yourself!)

so for my 30th birthday invitation, i decided on an art deco inspired theme. fitting don’t you think??? considering the art deco movement happened during the 30’s (1925 until the 1940’s to be exact).

incorporated into the invitation is a quote by Robert Frost:
“Time and Tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of thirty.”

sexy, cute, sole-mate

can something be sexy AND cute at the same time???

i didn’t think so until i laid my eyes on these steve madden blue high heels today.  sexy, strappy heels.  cute, blue ruffles.

it was love at first sight! my perfect sole-mate! and THE shoes i want to wear when i turn 30 next month! so as an early birthday gift, my mom bought them for me. THANKS MOM!!!

i can’t wait to wear them out next month for my birthday. (maybe i’ll just wear them around the house in the meantime.)

i may not be ready for thirty, but at least my feet will be! :o)

good things come in small packages…

… or, in this case, “little” packages!!!

i’ve started a new series of “little” invitations that are now available on my “in a card” Etsy shop. these custom invitations will make announcing your little one’s birthday real special!
