{Free Printable} Happy Birthday Cake Banners

Back in November, I posted that I had created a free printable in celebration of my birthday.  It's been on my to do list to post the free printable for you since then.  I finally had the opportunity to take a photo of the Happy Birthday Ribbon freebie when I baked my husband's annual old-fashioned carrot cake (see recipe HERE) for his birthday last week.  This year, my two girls helped me with decorating the cake and added the colorful sprinkles which I think added the perfect touch.

I created three different sets of Happy Birthday ribbons using some of my favorite color palettes.

To assemble the ribbon banner, simply print your favorite set.  Cut the banner ribbon and attach to wooden skewers, lollipop sticks or your favorite straws.  I used wooden skewers for mine and used a dab of hot glue to adhere the printable ribbon to the skewers.

{New to the Shop} She Said Yes!

A few months ago, I took a photography workshop from our family photographer, Alison Eden.  Alison's friend Ginny from Ginny B Photography also taught at the workshop.  Since then, Ginny and I have corresponded and put together ideas for creating some fun and unique props.  Ginny sent me pictures from a recent session which was for an engagement photo shoot and I love how they turned out.



  I created a "She Said Yes" banner using a textured linen background and it adorned with hearts.  I just added the banner to my shop. 

Please email me about customization options. 

Looking forward to sharing more photo props printables soon!

{New to the Shop} Holly Jolly Printable Collection!

I am SO excited to share my latest printable collection with you! I created designs for my friend Kinnison's store Baby Bugaloo which is a children's boutique right down the street from me. They have the most hip and trendy items for infants and toddlers. They have the perfect gifts for birthdays, baby showers, special occasions and more! I worked with Farrar who is the assistant buyer for the store to create a Christmas look for the store. Farrar gave me the colors they were looking to incorporate which were an apple green, Christmas green, red and black along with a peppermint theme. She was AMAZING and so much fun to work with. I had such a great time seeing everything come together, that I decided to create a similar collection for the shop.

Fancy candy labels are part of the Happy Holidays collection which can be purchased in my etsy shop!
