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!

High-flying baby shower this past weekend in the Bay Area! So much fun with a bright color palette of ocean blue, sunny yellow and sky blue.

Mini flag pennants, custom name pennant, tissue pom poms, wish tree, wish tree tags, wired die-cut floral decor toppers and custom canvas framed wall art ... all by yours truly.

Billow-y hydrangea arrangements atop tall crystal clear cylinder vases filled with clear & blue water bubbles were created by Blooms by Martha Andrews.

Thank you, thank you Margaret & Rosemary for letting me be a part of Monica's special day!!!

I've mentioned how much I love when previous brides call for baby shower & birthday papery for their growing families ... and Lainey's parents are no exception!!! Love them!

Ladybugs set the stage for Lainey's first birthday celebration this past weekend. I had the pleasure of creating invitations, pennant and {Yes! You see them!!!} a tissue pom pom party-pack complete with custom Ladybug poms!!!

Our Ladybug PomThingy's are up on my Etsy shop now!

These tissue ladybugs are the first of their kind and can be found only at SJD!! Yep we're the first to take tissue pom poms to the next level ... and we've got lots more PomThingy's {that's what I'm calling these little critters!} to post over the next several weeks.

Happy, Happy 1st Birthday Lainey!!

Just in time to brighten up this rainy Northern California weather! Last week, had the pleasure of creating a name pennant for Mila's First Birthday.

The pennant was going to be used at Mila's party and then again in a photoshoot with Jacqueline Photography. Can't wait to share pics from Jackie! I'm sure the shoot with Mila & her doting parents will be super-cute.

The pennant was inspired by Mila's birthday outfit ... an adorable tutu with rainbow & cupcake accessories by Hannah's Tutu's on Etsy.

Thanks bunches Kaci for allowing me to be part of Mila's special day!!

Here's another fun kids birthday party I worked on a few weeks ago! This bright and girly roller skate themed party was for Hailee's 10th birthday. Hailee is the niece of my bud Rebecca at Sweet Cakes by Rebecca. {Catching a common thread in my posts? Rebecca and I really dig working on parties together!!}

Rebecca {of course} did all the desserts, including ... roller skate cake, a personal mini cupcake-cake tower especially for Hailee, mini cupcakes in two flavors, green apple marshmallows, roller skate sugar cookies, lemon bars, chocolate cake pops and mini panna cotta. She also added fun touches like green & orange gum balls, popcorn and {Hailee's favorite} Cheetos Spiral Puffs!

I handled the paper finery ... found a cool pattern paper to play off of {Rebecca took elements of the paper pattern and incorporated it into the cakes design} and we took off from there! Papery included ... tissue pom poms, name pennant, dessert tags, confetti and tagged snack/goodie bags.

As always ... complete party packages {including desserts by Sweet Cakes by Rebecca} are available. Give us a ring!
