Gabereal's birthday bash: Sesame Street style

Gabereal's mom was having a Sesame Street birthday party for him and she sent me two gorgeous photos to use.... It was great to work with this handsome little guy:

This card can also be done without the characters to be able to take advantage of the free product promo... This is how it would look:

Gaby's Purple Birthday

My oldest daughter is the purple flower of my logo, and this time we made her birthday party in honor to it.. Purple is her favorite color and this was a birthday she was awaiting since a long time. I decided to include pink and turquoise and she loved the combination.

I made some tags for the cupcakes:

And this is how they look on the cupcakes:

It was a party at her school and they dont allow goodie bags... So, instead I made come cake pops and attached some tags to it with the name of each child and each teacher:

They look like a total mess but here they are:

Here is a close up of two that I still have at home...

It'sssssssssss an snake party

I have done several cards for this family and I loved to be able to do one more.. This one with a new theme for me: SNAKES! It shows photos of him growing up and this is what I made:

Buttleflies and flowers

Emma is back, this time she is having a butterflies theme. Their parents realized how much she likes butterflies, so it was perfect for her.

I made two versions. They are both very similar, but different at the same time... The first one has current photos and the second one has photos of her growing up..

Version 1:


Version 2:


I love them both and it is one of my favorite cards so far!

Alani The Explorer Part II - Candy wrappers

Alani's mom ordered Candy Wrappers to match her Dora birthday party (see invitation here). This is how it looked:

Natalia and Foofa's birthday party

Im sure Yo Gabba Gabba fans likes all the characters, however it sure looks like Foofa is one of the favorites. She is soo cute so what's not to like about her? And Natalia looks adorable with her Foofa shirt!

Stay tuned for her thank you notes.

Thank you from Elmo and Aidan

Aidan's Elmo Peek a boo party is over (see his invite here) and it was time for thank you notes. With his total Elmo shirt, I didnt even had to use Elmo on the card:

Thank you with Backyardigans style

Shane's mom ordered the same invitation I made for Ethen last year. She also ordered thank you notes, and this is what I made:

A royal celebration

Reagan's mom was having a Cinderella birthday party for her, and she wanted Cinderella on the card and also the carriage. It was a pink, purple and blue birthday party and here is what I made for her:

If you want the card to qualify for the free product, this is how it will look WITHOUT Cinderella:

She was sending the card as a postcard, so here is how the back part of the card looked:
