Wanted to share this super-sweet Giraffe Baby Shower from May! Soft buttercream, chocolate & white color palette goes well with all the delectable desserts from
Sweet Cakes by Rebecca.
By the team at SJD ... invitations, dessert tags, tissue paper pom poms {loved mixing up two-tone tissue colors instead of just solids!} and Hello Baby! pennant.
Amazing dessert spread as usual that included ... vanilla cream puffs, panna cotta, chocolate marshmallows, giraffe cookies {that were designed to match the invite to perfection!}, lemon & raspberry cupcakes, lemon bars, chocolate cake pops, chocolate cupcakes and the most adorable strawberry shortcake topped with a sculpted giraffe.
Enjoy!

Another great kiddo party!!! This clementine {or tangerine ... whichever you prefer!} baby shower was the inspired idea of Jessica from
Jessica Giblin Photography. When it came time for Jessica's friends, Bre & Nathan, to welcome their first bundle of joy and the baby-to-be's name is Clementine ... Jessica wanted a palette of oranges, whites and fresh greens ... and of course little clementine's playing about.
Of course no party is complete without some yummy treats ... red velvet cake pops, mini apple pies, clementine sugar cookies, lemon bars, baby cake, mini caramel apples, caramel corn, oatmeal cookies and orange dream cupcakes!! All courtesy of the talented crew at {you guessed it!}
Sweet Cakes by Rebecca.
The SJD team pulled together {of course!} the papery. New!!! our Tangerine PomThingy's, tags for all the delish deserts, a Clementine pennant {10 letters!! Clementine has 10 letters ... that made for one loooooong pennant!}, mini tangerine PomThingy's, cones for the candy corn, paper die-cuts {along with the hanging mini tangerines for the photo backdrop - soooo cute!} and a mommy wish tree sign complete with little coordinating leaves for all the guest's well wishes!
Also, check out Jessica's Blog for
Bre & Nathan's baby bump shoot! They used the pennant I made in their photo shoot as well ... super-adorable!
Thank you Jessica for taking such great pics with your talented eye and for allowing me to share in the sweetness of Bre & Nathan's baby shower!!
Happy, Happy to Bre & Nathan!

A little something new for this fine Tuesday afternoon!!!! Finally got a chance to photograph my new handcrafted paper pomanders in a controlled lighting environment {yea ... the new studio/office!!}.
I made these little super-fun paper pomanders along with the Manzanita branch tree they hung by for the open house last Thursday at
Granite Bay Golf Club. Wanted to do something bright and spring-y since the weather here in Northern California has been dismal. I also added my business cards as a cute way to showcase how you could use a little tree like this at your event as an escort/place card or wishing tree. Love! And a cute little coordinating butterfly paper-wrapped invitation box to house my business cards topped off the whole look.
These paper pomanders come in custom sizes if you need them, however, our most popular sizes of Mini, Small {shown}, Medium {shown} and Grande are usually enough variation in size for most events. Papers are all customizable to coordinate with your event decor.
Use paper poms for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, baby & bridal showers, candy buffet displays, dessert displays, cake displays and more!
PAPER POMANDER PRICING
3" Minis $5 each
4" Small $10 each
8" Medium $15 each
12" Large $20 each
DIY pricing is available if you would like to fold & assemble the paper poms yourself!
Pics and pricing coming soon of our folded flower and tissue pomanders!!!

Remember that glam event I mentioned a week or so ago?? Pics are rolling in!!! First up ... the All You Need Is Love Vignette.
This space is inspired by the TV show Mad Men on AMC. The design for this room started with the daisy theme chandelier that was found at Ikea and really took over from there. Combining the fab era’s of the 50′s and 60′s and a twist of 2010 into one amazing retro chic vignette.
I had such a blast creating the invitation, menus, place cards, poster, dessert bar tags and hand-sewn fabric flower pom-poms for this spread!!!
The boxed invitation was hand-finished in a modern-yet-retro black and white fabric, inside was finished with a yellow and white polka-dot fabric with the paper part of the invitation in matte black and white. The front of the invitation was finished off with a thick black double-faced satin ribbon and a little yellow and white polka-dot fabric flower pom-pom.
The menu's were affixed to each one of the individual floral arrangements placed at each place setting. Fab idea from Katie with Ambience!
Place card - slash - snazzy soda-pop beverage! Oh, yeah. Super-cute floral fabric pom-poms were attached to each of the soda pop bottles in alternating black/white and yellow combinations. The actual little place card flag was attached to the vintage green and white paper straws. You know I am a huge fan of those little straws!!
Poster! What can I say? Measures 24x36 affixed to foamcore for stability on a matte bright white paper. I am such a fan of pop-art and this added just a little touch of whimsy to Rebecca's {with Sweet Cakes by Rebecca} aaaaamazing dessert bar. The dessert bar tags came out super cute too - I created those in alternating yellow/white and black/white to mix it all up a bit. Rebecca and I were emailing into the wee hours making sure no detail was overlooked - hello!! the couples monogram is even on the sugar cookies!!! Love.
My absolute favorite ... would have to be those little fabric flower pom-poms!! Soooo, much fun to make ... look for them soon in the SJD Shop!! We're planning on making 4 different sizes to choose from.
Below are the amazing vendors that made this vignette come together ...

Yep! Another fun branding project and logo project from earlier in the year for my friend and wedding peer, Carissa, with
Sugar and Spice Specialty Desserts.
Carissa's desserts are a must see. Carefully crafted dessert bars and buffets with meticulously crafted mini treats like salted caramel tartlets, trifles and cookies. She creates cakes and all kinds of pastry fabulousness. Carissa makes this chocolate sandwich cookies that I can't stop thinking about since last she dropped off a little treat box ... my mouth is watering thinking about them!!
Carissa and her staff are known for their clean line designed dessert bars and buffets and visually the sweet presentation does not disappoint! Carissa and I wanted to take that same clean lined approach with her logo. She already had a color palette of black, white and fuchsia and just wanted something clean that could translate into future projects. Can't share the surprises just yet!
Looking forward to the next round of design work with Carissa as she takes her special desserts to the next level! Watch her
blog for event posts and upcoming news.
