Candy Invite

A friend of mine's daughter is having a birthday party next month and she wants to make her own invites. The party is centered on candy making - all the girls will make various candies and get to take them home as favors. How unique is that? What a fun idea for a birthday party (not to mention easy on Mom because it's all done for her by the party consultant!) I immediately went to work to create something an 8 year old could assemble. It needed to be something simple, yet look fun and incorporate the theme. I really like the simplicity and think it turned out great. Hopefully she likes it!

Paper: Sft White (Paper*Source), Green Card (DCWV Brights from Michaels),  Summer Sunrise (Papertrey Ink), Clear Cardstock (Papertrey Ink)

Shop and Share

While recently shopping at J crew, I found out about a cool new program they are offering. It's called Shop and Share. You pick the day and time (even when they aren't open), bring at least four of your friends and J crew makes sure they can devote themselves to you during that time - all while giving 20% off everything you buy! Can I tell you I almost died when I heard this? I've been shopping at J Crew since high school, and when Jenna Lyons took over as Creative Director, I became obsessed with them. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jenna. Her sense of style is so effortless and chic and the same time. She has a way of mixing up the classics so they aren't so... well classic! I immediately worked with one of their shoppers to set up an event for my friends. And, you know that means I have to make invites for them. Here's a sneak peak at the sketches. I'll post pics later this week of the real deal.

What's more inspiring than getting married?  I made my invites, thank you's (see below) and designed my tablescape.  With some sewing help from my mom (I really need to get braver with sewing machine), we created an amazing table cloth that matched the invites.  It turned out to be one fabulous day!
