Inslee.

During another Pinterest marathon, I came across Inslee, a company started by artist Inslee Haynes. Not only does she sell beautiful personalized stationery in her shop, she also takes on commissioned projects- I love some of the bridal portraits that she has done. Seriously, this girl is uber-talented. Here are some of my favorites.

Lou’s 4th Birthday.

This year, Lou wanted a Strawberry Shortcake theme.. So I went with it. I tried to incorporate as many tasteful strawberries as possible, but the overall theme tying everything together was pink. Perfect for a party full of four-year-old girls. We had such a fun time!

Strawberry Hills.

It’s hard to beleive that my baby is turning 4 on May 1. This year (of course, after ordering a ton of invites, etc) in an effort to prevent me from having a nervous breakdown, we have decided to scale down and are just having a few little girls. She chose Strawberry Shortcake as her theme. I opted out of making the cards myself this year (Remember this post on balance?) and ordered these invitations from Belly Bean Cards. I have had them sitting on my desk for probably two months, and finally sent them out last week. Aren’t they adorbs?

I did line some envelopes from Paper-Source to spruce them up a bit. It’s easy! Learn how to here. The colors were a perfect match.

There Goes My Hero.

Today I wanted to share a party that my friend Kristin Mika of Hampton Paper Designs threw for her son Jackson’s 5th birthday. Kristin and I met a few weeks prior to the party to pull all of her ideas together. She knew what look she wanted to achieve, she just needed a little help with some editing. Kristin used custom designs from Hampton Paper Designs to create a Super-Hero Extravaganza.
