Signature Sign as Guest Book [First Communion Week #4]

I LOVE the idea of having a guest book that is NOT just a simple book where you sign.  I have done this several times but this is the first time that I actually post about it on my blog.

When this is done for a birthday party, the whole design can we done since I first make the design.  A nice picture can be taken in advance, and I can include it on the design before it gets printed.  The recommended size for this is 16x20 or even larger.  It can be done at ANY size you need it without any extra charge.  It is very important to keep in mind that the picture needs to be a high quality picture taken with a camera... Most cell phone pictures won't work for this.  It can be printed with a cardstock (any printing place offers this option), or if we have the picture for the design in advance, it can be printed with photo paper.  Have in mind that if is printed in photopaper, you need to get a Sharpie Ultra Fine Point Permanent Marker. It helps to read these instructions.  For cardstock, the tip doesn't need to be so thin, and the Sharpie Extra Fine Point Permanent Marker can be used.

For this specific event, we wanted to use a picture of the little girl wearing her dress, which means we didn't have the picture in advance. I made the design leaving an 8x10 space right in the middle and I put a big sign that says DO NOT SIGN IN THIS AREA (believe it or not, a person on this party did sign inside of the area, lol)... Anyway, the idea is that the sign gets to be displayed at the party, and people can sign on it.  Then, after the party is done, and awesome pictures of the girls are taken, an 8x10 picture get printed and add it to the design.  The end result is a beautiful remembrance for this little girl's First Communion to hang in her room.

For the 8x10 area (which can also be planned for any other size), we can add a collage instead of a single picture... Here is the before and after... All photographs were taken by Jennifer from Movable Memories

More Hats...

I posted earlier the invitation for the "Hats" birthday party for a close friend.  I was at the party which means that I took pictures myself.  I also got two other friends taking pictures and we got many great shots.  I may post some pictures on another post, but on this post I will only post pictures of the favors.  I wish I would have been able to use different pictures, but this was the only one she liked.

Here is a picture of the Cupcake Toppers...

As you can only see the front of the wrappers on the picture above, here is how the back looks...

Under the sea with Ariel, The Little Mermaid

I celebrated my middle daughter's 7th birthday this past weekend with one of her favorite Disney Princesses: Ariel, The Little Mermaid.  I had a lot of fun planning the party, and better yet, designing everything!  The whole area was surrounded with blue ribbons on the walls and fishes as the idea is that we were under the sea.

I made some fishes to print for the "water". The bottom white part was for the kids to do some coloring. It was really fun!

Here is how the area of the cupcakes looked...
Here are the Cupcake Tops. The are two sided.
I ordered some theme cookies and made an small sign for them in post card size(at the back)

50 Shades of my 32's

Last January, I celebrated my 32nd birthday with a 50 Shades of Grey birthday party.  Most of the guys were clueless, but all the girls enjoyed the decor very much.  Im posting my designs, as well as some ideas for a "50 Shades of Grey" birthday party.

First, the invite was just for Facebook, so it is not an usual style for the designs I do.  The info was on the actual Facebook event.

Here are the Cupcake Tags that I made. There were several different quotes from the book on each one. You can also see the Charlie Tango I got. It was wood color and I painted it with sharpie (easiest and quickest way to do it)
 
Another look for the Cupcake Tags. You can also see a little message card that I put on the napkin holder.
 
Another message card showing one of the emails from the book. The cookies were made by a friend of mine.

Another email in front of a jar full of masks plus another sign with a quote from the book. I also got the car that both Christian and Anastasia had: Audi R8 as part of the decoration.
Marshmallows with another email:
People had to see my room as the music was there, so I decided to do a little something. Here is the sign I did for the wall on top of my bed. That was printed 11x17.
This is how the bed looked:
 
And here are three signs I made for the area:
 
And lastly here is how the whole area looked like. You can click on it for a larger view:
