Bright Birthday Cupcakes

Greetings from Houston, Texas! I (Katherine) have been visiting friends and family in the South for the past few weeks.

This weekend, a family friend was celebrating her birthday and I was inspired by the wrapping paper my mom used for her gift. Here are the pictures of the matching cupcakes.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Petrie!!!

RED Hot Bridal Shower

Our good friends Sarah and Joel are tying the knot!! With the help of our friend Kreena, we threw Sarah a "Red Hot" bridal shower to help celebrate and to get the couple ready for domestic bliss! :)

The invitation

Chocolate cupcakes with a cherry on top!

The "Sarah Spritzer"...champagne and cranberry juice...delish!!

Silverware tied in red scroll napkins to match the invites.

The favors...our gk cutout cookies in the shape of a heart with red sprinkles (sorry no picture of the actual cookies).

Guests were thanked for writing words of advice for Sarah and Joel - the advice cards will go into a scrapbook we are making for Sarah with pictures and other keepsakes from the shower.

Gwen's "Wild & Crafty" Baby Shower

Gwen is about to become a mommy!!! Of course there had to be a party! And of course it had to involve arts and crafts! :) Our friends Kreena, Sarah, and I (Katherine) threw the mom-to-be a baby shower where all the guests made scrapbook pages to go into Baby's memory book.

The book turned out AMAZING and I have to give a special shout out to one of our dedicated followers Megan. Unfortunately, Megan couldn't make it to the shower, but she mailed her scrapbook pages so they could be added to the book. They were absolutely incredible and definitely set the bar for our scrapbooking party!

Here are some pictures from the shower...

The invites

Cupcakes

Baby-tini (non-alcoholic, of course) :)

Candies served in baby bowls - given to Mommy after the shower.

Pasta served in orange and green bell peppers to match the color theme!

The favors...animal crackers to thank the guests for getting WILD and crafty with Gwen.

Feliz Cumpleanos Cake

First of all...we must apologize to our many followers (all 3 of you) that it has been so long since our last post. Life has been pretty crazy for the both of us lately, but we are making it up to you now by adding 4 new projects at once! :)

Here is a cake that we did for our dear friend Kelly and her dear friend Angie for their 30th birthdays in March. Kelly's family threw her a Mexican themed surprise birthday party - both the party and the cake were a huge success!!
