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!!!

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!

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!!

If you liked the Tissue Pom Poms in the post below ... well the wait is over! Poms are now available in the SJD Etsy Shop! Currently, I have one item for 7 poms available in the shop ... but you can convo us via Etsy or email us directly for custom orders any time.

We'll be loading full-color pics of each solid matte color all fluffed out and looking fab over the next several days. We have bunches of orders already for client baby showers, first birthdays, etc. ... and can't wait to share what we've been working on! Some really fun & creative takes on the tissue pom.

Making all these sample Poms to photograph for the shop sure is gunna take a while!!! You can't even imagine how much room all this tissue takes up either. When the order of came in yesterday it was a tad overwhelming to say the least. We're talking approximately 6000 sheets of premium tissue!

And ... coming in next weeks order ... patterns!!! Aaaaaa, I can't wait! :)

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!
