{Real Party} Sweet Soiree

Last year around Valentine's Day, I invited a few of my girl friends over for a little dinner party. I wanted to create a simple yet elegant party that was affordable by purchasing store bought supplies and sweets.  

The colors for the party were red, black and white along with a damask pattern.

 

Red ribbon and black tulle were added to damask pillow boxes to add some "pop" which were filled with hot tamales candies.

 Red ribbon and black tulle were added to jars filled with cookies to add a hint of color.

Red velvet cupcakes....yum!

 I added chocolate abstracts that I made as toppers for the cupcakes.  

 

 

I used paperie items from my awesome paperie friends Kim of The Tom Kat Studio & Kristy of Posh Pixel Design Studio    

Damask paper goods - Target

  Red velvet cupcakes and cookies - Lux Bakery

Damask table runner - My Little Obsession

{Real Party} Hello Kitty Themed Birthday Party

We decided to have a joint birthday party for Annabelle and Madeleine this year since their birthdays are three weeks apart. When I asked Annabelle what kind of party she wanted, she quickly replied that she would like a Hello Kitty party. When I started looking for ideas, I instantly fell in love with these Hello Kitty shirts from Modern Frills. They became the inspiration for designing the party decor.

I made the invitation using a digital file that Audree from DecorArtist created by making a similar pattern from Heather Bailey's Pop Garden Tiled Primrose fabric which was used in the shirts. I tried to incorporate the design throughout the decor pulling the orange, yellow, green and pink as the colors for the party.

Hello Kitty crayons I made from broken crayons.
