Baby's 100 Days: Happy Baggil Sian!

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

Baby Sian was born four days before my nephew Sean, 

and even their names only have one letter difference. 

She is the chunkiest baby ever with dark curly hair. 

A true Michelin baby.

but completely forgot!  aging is not fun. 

again, reusing the cutout of the front of the card on the back side.

Baby's Firsts: Happy 1st Birthday Brooklynn!

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

Hard to believe yet another baby, Brooklynn, has turned 1. 

And even harder to believe that it's Langhi & Hoang's second child who turned 1. 

I feel like Anderson turned 1 not too long ago. It's madness!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

i went with the cheetah print since i figure 

brooklynn probably has the memphis ghetto fabulousness from her mama.

the "y" in her name supporting a cupcake with 1 candle. 

the cupcake didn't quite turn out the way i had envisioned... 

i probably should have gone with more contrasting color scheme. 

added the beads for the bling effect as i did for her mom's card. haha.

Thank You!: Girls are the Best

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

I was asked to make thank you cards for a friend of a friend, 

who saw one of my posts in the birthdays album (it was for Madeline) 

on facebook and wanted one of the works replicated. 

I made 30 thank you cards for the guests 

who came to little Estella's 1st birthday party. 

I must say, I had a ton of fun making them. 

I feel like there's more ways to get creative 

when I work on little girls' projects than boys.

I found these cute flower patterned scrapbook papers, 

could not decide on which color to go with, so decided on all of them. 

All five colors go well with the adorable little girl Estella in hanbok, 

so it all worked out! 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

thank you! 

don't the scrapbook papers work really well with the hanbok colors?

giving the 3-d look always adds something extra to the card. 

several layers of contrasting color & patterns of paper stock 
also adds something extra to the card. 

inside the card was laid with the floral patterns 

that were used for the trims in the hanbok

Baby's Firsts: Happy 1st Birthday Madeline!

A personal touch is always appreciated! 

Well, what do you know, yet another birhtday I missed. 
Madeline is the 2nd child of my best friend from high school, 
and of course I wanted to do all that I could to prepare her for this birthday. 
Sadly, the family went to a loss only a couple of weeks before the party, 
and they considered cancelling the whole event, 
but a precious life must be celebrated, so they decided to tone it down a bit.

madeline is turning 1! 
how perfect is her smiley face with this mauve hanbok! 
traditional Korean outfit is a must for a 1-year-old!

Baby's Firsts: Happy 1st Birthday Paige!

A personal touch is always appreciated!

I was away living in another state when my friend's first child was born
and several years after that, so I was never able to do much for her.
Once I moved back home, I just assumed I would be there more for her second child,
but who would've thought I would have to go out of town the weekend of her 1st birthday?
I was sad and felt bad for not being there so I helped in any way I could before i left town.
got a lot of the ideas from looking online and made everything by hand.

paige's 1st birthday table display. 

this is a demo display i did before i left. 

all about paige tree. 

the vase is filled with cellophane 

and i wrapped the outside of it with a pink ribbon. 

paige's firsts. 

her first pair of socks & gloves, photos... 

you can also see how i tied the ribbon around the vase.

paige's name in the colors her mommy chose for the party.

and just a couple of empty boxes used as a decor.

a closer look at tissue flower balls. 

although it isn't the best photo, it is made with many mini tissue flowers. 

found so many frames perfect for this party at such a great price. 
in one frame, sleepyhead & smileyface paige photos along with her name made with felt. 

in another frame, paige with her big sis jenna, mommy & daddy.

and of course, i didn't want jenna, paige's older sister, 
to feel left out, so i made her name with a little more grown up girl colors.
