Well the shower was a success. Everyone had a great time. The food was delicious, the milk & cookies hit the spot and my girlfriend got lots of fun presents for her new baby boy! Here are some pics from the shower. Check out the cookie monster diaper cake & cake pops.

Cute Diaper Cake… even the diaper’s were themed to Sesame Street.

Here are the cake pops. I took the recipe from Bakerella and created my own Cookie Monster design. I used blue chocolate for the outer layer, blue sprinkles for hair, marshmallows for eyes, and cookie crisp cereal for the mouth.

And they tasted really good!! Usually when I bake it normally doesn’t look or taste good but this time around I got it right. I was pretty impressed with myself.

Me and the Momma-2-Be!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!! I feel so special to have professional invitations. I don’t think I’ve EVER had professional invitations not even for my wedding. LOL I LOVE them! I can’t tell you enough! They are sooooooooooo cute!!!!! You are the best!!!

I thought it was a cute idea to incorporate the boys by having a nursery painting party. While she is off with the girls, the boys will be hard at work OR hardly working we will see after the shower.

Here are some of the other designs I developed for the shower.

I found this cute cute cute cupcake on Hostess with the Mostess, it fits perfectly into the theme. I will definitely have to incorporate them into the shower.

Check back to see how I tie-in the cookie monster theme through out the entire decor of the shower.

When thinking about what kind of feeling you want your invitations to embody, consider the floral elements in your wedding. Your bouquet often captures the mood and style of your wedding. These alternative bouquets by the fabulously talented JL Designs are elegant, fun and just all around beautiful. When thinking about your bridesmaid bouquets and dresses, add fun ribbons, hot colors and flowers not commonly used to take your bouquet to the next level. The bridesmaid dresses by Ruche are also out of the box. Move away from the classical chiffon solid colored dresses and consider fun prints & styles that capture your personality. I am sure they will love you for it and your photos will look fabulous.


beautiful yellow ranunculas paired with white & yellow gingham ribbon gives a warm summer vibe.

hot pink mums with yellow centers, wrapped in turquoise ribbon with a fuschia corset wrap layered on top….

a simple bouquet of bright orange tulips really pops next to a bold patterned dress…

purple allium and accented with avocado and olive colored pom pom trims for a retro throwback

a variety of ranunculas in blush and peach tones, for texture scabiosa pods to roughen it up a bit.

a bouquet of all white veronica…i love the way this flower kinda droops and hangs in different directions…it kinda does its own thing… very earthy paired with a beautiful nude and navy blue dress.

Check back to see what designs I come up with using these floral bouquets as my inspiration.

I am planning a baby shower for one my dearest friends. Here is what’s inspiring me to create her beautiful invitations & shower décor. I can’t wait to show you what I come up with.

I had so much fun planning all the creative details for my wedding, I thought why not start a company where I could share my passion with others. I have always been a paper person, creating hand crafted cards & scrapbooks. It was only a matter of time before I became involved in the paper industry. I love combining beautiful papers, fun fonts and simple designs to create a beautiful piece of art.

I am a Florida girl to the max; I love all things that have to do with sun, sand and surf. There is nothing more relaxing then sitting on the beach with sand between my toes, watching the waves roll in, the salty breeze blow through my hair and a margarita in hand.

I love traveling! It’s so inspiring to experience a new city or country through its culture and food. I am a super foodie! Some of my favorite shows are on the Food Network. I don’t think I have met a food that I didn’t like. I am willing to try anything at least once, and usually I love it! I enjoy going to all sporting events and enjoy being outside most of the time. My newest adventure is surfing. I am not very good, but love the feeling of being picked up by a wave and riding it down the beach.

A couple random things on my bucket list are: catch a foul ball at a Rays game, milk a cow, eat the food of the land where I travel, and kiss my husband under the Eifel Tower.

I cant wait to meet you and come up with some beautiful designs for your special event!
