Birthday Party Decorations

I created these adorable decorations for Roo's first birthday party.  I chose the colors orange & aqua, selected paper & fabrics to match, then made a Happy Birthday banner, circle garland with his name, and a giraffe to display the first 12 months of photos.  I used the computer to create labels for the party favors (mints & bubbles).  I also ordered a custom hat, bib & onesie to go with the theme.  Take a look & let me know what you think :)

Matching bib & hat & purchased on etsy,
along with his giraffe blanket


Giraffe cake I made with purchased paper plates to match

Mints with a coordinating label

Giraffe with photos from the first 12 months


Bubbles have the same label as the mints.
I put one of his giraffe toys on the tray for decorations

A small smash cake that was all his!
I don't seem to have a picture of the garland I made with his name, but it was just as cute as the banner; you'll have to trust me =)

First Day Teacher Gifts

I just created these cute little gems for Monkey's first day of preschool.  I thought an apple for the teacher was classic & wanted to jazz it up with my own special touch.  You can make your own!  Shop my site for materials (message me for details) or for those wanting to bypass the work, buy directly from my etsy shop.
