Tommy's Holiday Card

I had already designed and printed our family's holiday cards when we discovered the awesomeness of Santa photos with FotoFly; a photography studio local to us in Salt Lake City. They have one of the parents dress up in the Santa costume and then do more unique poses that don't show Santa's face. Doing this means the kids (especially babies & toddlers) are more likely to be more comfortable in front of the camera when they're in the arms of a parent... and the parent is more likely to get a few awesome photos. 

Because I wanted to share the photos we got of our son, I printed a dozen of "his" Christmas card to send to grandparents and some of his friends.

Merry Christmas!

Tyler's 1st Birthday

Ty's mommy and daddy called him their little bug, so it was only fitting that they do a bug theme for his first birthday. We had So. MUCH. FUN with this party and I think you can tell by looking at how great everything looked. 

To add the "bites" in the invitation, we used a scalloped circle punch that you can purchase at almost any craft store. Tyler's mommy, Lindsey also used the punch on green paper plates at the party.

These labels were adhered to baby food jars and filled with goodies as favors and also on water bottles.

Lindsey got a bunch of these small bug catcher boxes for the kids in attendance and this is the favor tag I made for them.

Awesome pennant banner!

The food signs we created were supposed to fold in half and stand on their own, but the wind that day had other plans. They still turned out cute!

Lastly, we created a high chair banner and a t-shirt graphic that Lindsey ironed onto Ty's t-shirt.

Such a happy toddler, happy birthday Ty!!

Debora's 60th Birthday

Debora has some amazing children! They planned a wonderful surprise birthday party for her to share with their close friends and family. I got to work with her daughter Brandi on the paper items. Since Debora loves to travel, we made that the theme.

For the invitation I found an old map of Michigan (where they live) to place in the background along with some fun passport stamps.

Each table was named after a country Debra had visited.

And we created a program to list the sequence of events for the evening. It also had the menu on it.

Lastly, we created a sign for the candy buffet table.

Happiest of birthdays Debora!!
