Princess Panda 1st Birthday Invitation and Thank You Note

It’s a real honor when you’re a part of announcing the special milestones in a family’s life.

I’ve had the honor of designing the Wang’s wedding invitation, their son, Ethan’s 1st birthday, and now their daughter, Sofia’s 1st birthday.

I loved the idea of doing something similar to their son’s 1st birthday invite but with a princess/panda theme. Same, but different.

Stacy had found these adorable princess panda illustrations online so we incorporated them into the design and they were the inspiration behind the pattern I created on the backside of the invitations and thank you notes.

I love that they even brought back another caricature artist for Sofia’s party. So now we have another drawing of our growing family.

DIY Graduation Money Leis

My niece and nephew are both graduating this year, so I thought it would be fun to get crafty and create a graduation money lei for each of them.

I used this video as my guide and used materials I already had around the studio to create these two leis.

Leftover wrapping paper, scraps of colored paper, ribbon, straws, tape, plus crisp bills that I had to get from the local bank.

What other crafty DIY gift ideas do you like or suggest I make?

New Love is Love Simplewear Design

A quote by Nelson Mandela:

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

Love is love. No matter what. It’s as simple as that. What better way to teach and raise a child than with this simple motto.
