Lamb themed Baptism
I can’t believe Mia’s baptism was 4 years ago! And now that I was searching for some files for Emma’s baptism, I realized I never shared all the details and photos from Mia’s baptism. I design and made the invitation. I used cream heavyweight cardstock from Michaels. For the envelope edge, I used Martha Stewart Doily lace punch. I made the lamb using air dry modeling clay One of my favorites DIY’s from the baptism was the Banner on the back of the dessert table. I wish I have a closer look, but I don’t have a better picture. I painted an unfinished laser cut wooden sign from Michaels in…

Whimsical Ocean Birthday party
This Whimsical Ocean Birthday party was an inspiration of the venue were we celebrate Mia’s 4th birthday. I would’ve never imagine celebrating an Ocean or Under the sea theme for my daughter’s birthday because her birthday it’s in fall, almost winter (November). We celebrated her birthday at an indoor playground were all the decor is Ocean related. We usually have a small birthday party at our house every year, with tons of DIY projects. But this year with a one month old lil sister, that wasn’t a choice for me. So we chose to celebrate at an indoor playground and make it simple but special. Must of the invitations were…

Kitten 1st birthday Party
Mia loves our cats and any other cat, she acts like a cat lol, she loves milk, cardboard boxes, treats, even cat toys! She also love pit balls. So her party was all about all her favorite things: cats and colorful pit balls. We didn’t have lots of guests for her party so we had a small cake (the bottom of the cake was fake) but I really wanted a two layer cake, in fact thank God I made that fake layer because about 2 hours before the party the backdrop smashed the cake and broke my cake stand, the fake layer survived just some minor scratches, and yes…

Cake topper printable & Easy Lighted Number
We invited some friends over to celebrate Cristian´s 33 birthday, and as always I baked a special homemade cake. This year I was very busy with work and did not have time to decorate it with edible details so I designed a paper cake topper. I also did a super easy project, it pretends to be a lighted number Marquee. No one wants to buy an expensive Marquee for a birthday celebration that will only be used a few hours. So I made a disposable version with presentation board and string lights I found in the spot dollar at Target. TO MAKE THE CAKE TOPPER: 1. Download and install the font…

My son is growing up so fast! He turned eleven and of course he was not excited anymore about having a cartoon theme birthday party, so I had to think about a new exciting theme according to his age.

At the dessert table we had blueberry gelatin, orange cupcakes, cookies, vanilla bean cakepops, orange cake and watermelon and citrus cotton candy! We gave to each guest a basket with a cookie name tag. Inside the basket they had a water bottle with his name so they can refill through…
