Friends+Food+movie=FUN

My newest project for a little get together for 4 girls to celebrate am 8 year old birthday. More to come in the next couple of days. Above are the fun loot bags and below are the invites. Start off with an all orange, but once she saw the blue and red, she was sold!

Can't wait til PAYDAY!

This is a party idea that you just can't get in stores. I am reaching deep into my bag of tricks and my creative abilities to come up with stuff for this one... check out my little "cheque-book invitations"! Also on my list to do is....
personalize money
cafeteria style food service
corner store ideas
boutique
and of course the games (jobs to earn money with) - some ideas: laundrymat with sock matching service, restaurant with dishwashing duties, a couple clothing manufacturers (who use child labour obviously), gardeners who do weed pulling, singer and street performers (complete with hats and tins to put tips into)... now if I could just figure out a way to build a little starbucks kiosk so I can get a barrista to serve me my coffee!

good thing I've got a week still to go!

trains, planes & automobiles

It's official! This is finally for sale at Belle Balloons/Belle Events in downtown Belleville, Ontario! As I stand back, it all feels so colourful and fun, just like I wanted it to end up!

Included in this party-pak is: 1 'use anywhere' bin, 2 celebration pennants, 10 invites and envelopes, 1 set of activity supplies and a game suggestion, 10 loot bags filled with slingshot airplanes (they are so much fun if you've never seen them. but warning, they can go far and land on a roof or two), 10 old fashion candy sticks, 10 cupcake/food toppers...

This pack is made for a party of 10 kids, but I can always add more stuff if you are brave enough to have a bigger party than that! If you bought everything individually, it comes to just under the triple digit mark... but if you do the party-pak, it's $70 and you only have to make one stop!

Summer fun with Bubbles - colourful-days-party-pak

I'm working on 2 party paks right now... and this is a sneak peek at my bubble insiped one. Thinking this one is geared to kids 6 and under but since bubbles make me smile it might just appeal to everyone!

As of right now, I'm thinking the party pak will include the following:
10 invitations and envelopes
3 (9' long) celebration pennants
10 swag/loot bags
10 bubble bottles
Suggestions for games with the following activity supplies:
1 package of water balloons for games
1 package of side walk chalk

First Invitations for 2010!

Today I handed off my first official job for 2010! It's really exciting (and a little nerve tingling too) to do stuff for other people. I can't post a picture of it, it's a surprise! But as soon as the party is over, I'll update this post... but as a hint is a little pink and a little purple!

New Designs for Wedding Invites!

I've been working on getting a sample book together for Gerrilynne at Belle Balloons/Belle Events and I snapped some pictures before I'm handing the sample book over to her.

Since planning my own wedding, I've always thought weddings could be some much more creative. Hopefully these invitations find some brides who feel the same way.

Invitations - Rock Out

No one on this earth has more personality than this little one... at least in my opinion... and this invitation is my attempt at capturing her spirit.

This party was all about the girls... they dress up as their favourite stars, drank sparkling juice, participated in dance offs and sing offs, played lots of rock star games and had a great time just being girls.

They even went home with swag bags full of personalized stuff just for them.

Invitations - Pirates and Princess

Walking the plank, treasure hunting and eating everything on a stick were all part of this little party. Oh almost forgot, the kids also captured another pirate ship and bombarded the prisoners with water balloons!

Invitations - Campers

None of my kids ever wanted to sign up for scouts or cubs or brownies ... not because they wouldn't enjoy it, but because they would have to wear the uniforms in the unfortunate colour of brown (they have always hated that colour), but my daughter wanted a camper party and this is the invite that she handed out to her friends!

Invitations - Digital Works

 I've recently offered to do some invitation designs for people that don't live around me. The digital version just works easier!

Tessa is a girl that was born with crazy hair... and now as a two year old, she could compete very well with any pantene hair models!

 

This one is for a little boy who is going to have a great little party at a local fire hall! And his mom has an infinity for all things retro and vintage!

and this one for a party I hosted! It was as much fun as it looked.

Invitation - Little Fishies

Celebrating a one year old's birthday ... what can be better! This theme came from the idea that I wanted to make fish wind socks (similar to japanese wind socks) and use them as loot bags (I know strange out of the blue idea).

Invitation - Baby Shower

I tend to believe that baby showers should be about the mom to be - it's all about the baby when the time comes. I like to make the invitations reflect the mom to be, what kind of person she is and what stuff she likes. When I got asked to make these invites, I wanted to show just how fun and hip this momma really was!

Birthday Suprises

Inspired by some great imaginations and requests... I have come up with some pretty great birthday party stuff.

This one there was a little girl who dreamed of having a sea life party with a 'pin the tail' on the whale game...

And then I have my little rock and roll girl....

and not to leave the boys out... here's one from a little Wii Tournament
