~ Birthday Party ~ A day of pampering at the Spa

I'm so excited to finally able to share with you these pictures of my daughter's Spa themed birthday party. The girls had a fabulous day of pampering complete with face masks, manis, make up and  lots of goodies to bring home!  

Mini Facial station set up, ready with bowls of water, towels and hair ties. 

We used chocolate and strawberry face masks and cucumber slices for the eyes.

 

We used a cupcake stand to show the nail polish color selection.

At the beauty bar the girls got to choose lots of goodies to bring home: spa bath salts, bath loofahs, mini hand sanitizers and nail file sets were all decorated with personalized labels from the shop. 

 

Cake and cupcakes, Rice Krispie treats, Rock Candy, Bubble gum and Jelly beans at the sweet table. Cupcake toppers, table frame sign and candy jars printable decor now available at my etsy store

~ Birthday Party ~ BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Princess Belle Inspired Party

 

I've been meaning to post these pictures for so long.. Since I had my little baby I just haven't had enough time to update the blog.  Please be our Guest and take a look!
 

 

I had so much fun doing this party, even though I planned it all in only one week, I loved how everything turned out. 

 

I designed the invitations and all the party printable décor {Menu cards, place cards, food/sweet tent labels, favors thank you tags, welcome sign, water bottle labels and centerpieces décor} The complete collection is now available in the shop.

 

 

 

I did the cake and Mrs. Potts and Chip cookies.  These last ones were really easy to make, I covered them on white fondant using the same cookie cutter and painted the details with edible market.

 

I also made chocolate roses and covered chocolate marshmallows and used them make table centerpieces.   I specially love how my fruit tea pot turned out. 

 

I got most of my party supplies from Partycity and Michaels. 

 

I used yellow plastic table covers and adorned them with yellow tulle.

 No sewing involved. Tutorial on how to make this coming soon!

I found these fabulous notebooks at Michaels which were a perfect match for the party and we gave them as favors to all the little princesses attending the party.

 

  

 I have to credit my husband for the amazing balloon sculpture of Lumiere!

~ Birthday Party ~ Julia's Princess Rocker Girl Birthday Party {stars, guitars and peace signs}

I am so excited to show you all the pictures of Julia's 7th 'Rocker Girl' Birthday Party.

I had so much fun planning all the details for this party and I love how everything turned out!

The party was held at Poprocks. This is a local party place where kids get to sing Karaoke style and record their own CD to take home. What a great new concept! From there we went all out with the 'Rock Star' theme  {I'm trying to think who is in the video on the background...one of the Jonas brothers maybe? } 

 

I made the cake and cupcakes to match the 'Rocker Princess' theme and I love how they turned out. I used my Towering Tiers Cake Stand from Wilton to display. I love this look!

 

I also designed matching cupcake toppers and water bottle labels.

These metal lunch boxes were the perfect party favors.  So cute! 

Rocker Princess Party Supplies can be purchased at Birthday Express. 

The 'Rocker Girl' printable collection is now available at my Etsy shop.

~ Birthday Party ~ Americal Girl Doll Party & Tutorial how to make Pinwheels

How cuter can this get? A party for you and your doll. Beth from Beth Kruse Custom Creations  styled this adorable American Girl Doll party for her daughter Ella's 7th birthday and she sure did and amazing job.

Some of my favorite details of this gorgeous party incude the petite decorations and accessories for the both girls and their dollies like the Pinwheels, hair barrettes, bracelets and birthday hats.  Beth is also sharing with us a tutorial she put together on how to made the paper pinwheels.

Here are all the gorgeous details of this party, as told by Beth:

"Every day, at some point, you can catch my daughter flipping through the American Girl doll catalog. So for her 7th birthday, we decided to do an American Girl Doll Party.

Her favorite color is blue so we picked the colors navy, hot pink and teal. We also used the american girl logo for inspiration and incorporated stars. Because we were doing it outside, I thought pinwheels and bunting would be great decorations"

"I wanted the dessert table to be set up out in our yard. It rained all day so we had to wait until the last minute to set it up.  The large ella banner was cut using the cricut and then I used streamers to ruffle the background"

Beth decorated mini-cupcakes with tall tiny flags she made using wood skewers and paper.
 She wrapped the licorice in bunches and made gorgeous cupcake toppers for the chocolate frosted cupcakes. 

Some other sweet treats were the mini-poptarts on a stick {Beth got the recipe from here}, Swirly suckers for girls and pretend suckers for dolls {made by pippaloo} and cookies wrapped with bakers twine. 

Lemonade Cans -A favorite of the birthday girl
{lemonade banner attached to dowel rods}

"American girl wraps for cans -could also be made for water bottles-
{make them waterproof by using packing tape!} The girls LOVED these.

They had so much fun finding 'their' doll"

Pinwheels for girls and dolls {how to make pinwheels} and goodie bags

 

"Matching pinwheel barrettes I made for the birthday girl, her sister and their dolls and

mini plates and cups for the dolls {american girl party supplies from joann fabrics}

I thought these were kind of pricey, but they were a favorite of the girls.
They were all pretending that their dolls were eating too!"

Birthday hats for the dolls

"The party went late so that we could watch a movie outside with a projector so we also used a lot of tiki torches.  The yard looked so pretty!"

Thanks Beth for sharing with us and putting together that wonderful tutorial.

~ Birthday Party ~ 70's Disco Fun! The grooviest event of the Year.

It was my daughter's birthday a couple of weeks ago, and we celebrated with a disco themed party.  She had been planning her party since we finished celebrating her birthday last year.  She loves disco balls and dancing, this theme was perfect for her, but intead of celebrating the 70's, we were celebrating her 7's.

Planning all the details for this party was so much fun, I love this theme.
She wanted this party to be a girls only event, Julianna's Sunday Night Disco Fever!

 We designed the Invitation to appear like a ticket to enter a night club. It had a detachable VIP pass to be given at the door to the security guy {daddy dressed up all in black with a funny wig} I will show you the pictures but I don't think "mi amor" will approve :) He actually had double duty that day, he also had a special presentation as DJ daddy. 

{Not exactly from the 70's but she insisted on wearing this rock star outfit}

  Balloon column { My mom's latest design} 

 My mom travelled to Canada to surprise my daughter on her birthday and to help with all the decor. The party craze runs in my family.  My mom did the most amazing parties for me and I just want to do the same for my daughters. 

Lots of balloons, disco balls, Records, Musical notes and dangling stars were decorating the room. 

THE CAKE

 My daughter kept telling me for her cake she wanted 7 tiers, her reasoning is that since she was going to be 7 she had to have 7 cakes... I think she is watching too much of the Cake Boss. I got her 5 tiers between cupcakes and cake, I was kind of close. 

This was my second cake and I LOVE how it turned out. I got inspired by a design I saw on the Carlo's bakery website { didn't see my first cake...you can see it here}  I worked so hard on it, making all the little fondant decorations. I stayed up until 5 am the day before the party as the first time the fondant on the cake kept cracking but I kept trying until it finally worked.  It was a lot of work but it was all worth it, as my daughter loved it!

I am actually thinking of taking some serious cake decorating classes at the Bonnie Gordon School here in Toronto.. In fact I already made my 3rd cake for my friend's son birthday last week {pics coming soon}

My daughter loved her rainbow cake and my friends were asking me how I did it. Well It was very easy, just time consuming. I separated the batter in different containers and added food colorant to each, but as I only have one pan of this size, I had to bake and wait 6 times to get all the layers, and wash and grease and flour the same pan 6 times... My husband kept telling me I was crazy ..but I didn't care :)  so my recommendation is if you attempt to do all these layers at least have two of the same size pan.

To coordinate with the party theme, the favors were tie-dye sun visors, peace sign hair ties and "Love" sparkling girls make up.

I made coordinated water bottle labels.  All the disco party printable collection {Invitations, water bottle labels, cupcake toppers and tags} will be available soon at my Etsy shop.

All the girls got their make-up and hair done!

 

We all had so much fun!
