"Party Like A Flamingo" Olivia turns 6!

I can't believe my baby girl turned six! 6!

 We decided to celebrate with a high tea party with finger sandwiches, bite sized treats, scones, strawberry jam with whip cream of course. I added the Oh Joy for Target party line with flamingos, mini letter balloons, and a diy floral name display.

I had lots of fun adding special touches for my little girl. Thank you to Michele for photographing the party and for lending me a hand during the kid chaos. ;)

 

Pretty sure these girls all "partied like a flamingo!"

diy valentine's day snow globes

Snow globes are such a huge hit around here at Christmas time-so fun, so magical. I came across these Valentine's day snow globes and thought they would be perfect for Liv's pre-school friends. I pretty much followed the directions but changed the colours to pink and gold. Liv added the glitter (a lot) and we  I had fun making these. Here are my photos of the project and all I need now is to add a sweet little tag with some twine. xo 

Supplies: 

-pipe cleaners

-2" styrofoam balls

-baby food jars and lids 

-hot glue gun

-glitter 

-glycerine 

-spray paint (for the lids) 

-twine to decorate at the end 

Supplies-see above note 

1. Cut the top of the styrofoam ball-I used my bread knife 

2. Twist the pipe cleaner into a heart shape 

3. Place the pipe cleaner heart into the cut styrofoam and trim off the end piece 

Here is what it looks like 

4. Take your spray painted lids-allow time to dry before hot gluing (I did overnight)

5. Hot glue the styrofoam base into the inside of the lid. Make sure its not to big and can fit into the jar 

6. Add water to jar with 1tsp of glycerin and around 1tsp of glitter. 

7. Finally place heart piece inside once dry, screw lid on, turn and shake.

You can then add a sweet tag and deliver with love. My diy steps are very brief please follow Dandee for her great post. Anyone else have a fun valentine's day project?

lovely bridal shower

I had the pleasure of styling and decorating a bridal shower this past friday night. I'll share a quick photo of the paper tissue fan display I made. All the fans are found in my shop -I used 12 in total and added a few special touches. (handmade pinwheels and circle punch garland) Thanks Stacy for the photo! More photos to follow. 

beautiful backdrops

I am loving all these beautiful paper fan backdrops I am seeing in Pinterest land. Tissue fans, bunting, pinwheels, paper garland and lovely colour combinations sure come together to make a statement. You can find the paper tissue fans in my shop and layer in your own diy's to create these amazing masterpieces.

big balloons

I am loving 36" balloons. They are so fun, trendy and make a big impact at any party or event. We had our family photos done this weekend by the lovely Michele Sarah Photography and right away I knew I wanted to use one of my balloons. (Liv loved that she got to hold it) I can't wait to have my Christmas cards made up and share with my family and friends. It's not to late to get your balloon! I have all colours in stock and they could even be used for Christmas, New Years or winter weddings. Visit Confetti&Sparkle party shop today. :)
