I LOVE HELLO KITTY!

I made this adorable Hello Kitty card and matching gift bag for a friend's daughter's 4th birthday party.  I have a son so any time I can use girly images like this I jump at the chance!

Giveaway

I'm proud to be part of a great Vancouver based giveaway.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Holiday Season.

News

I have exciting news to share!

I have some of my cupcake themed cards at Frosting Cupcakery in Langley, BC. They are the first business to carry my cards.

I'm hoping that they will be a hit with their customers.

My favourite is their peanut butter cup cupcake! It tastes like the real thing!

Wishing all of you a very safe and happy holiday season!

I'm working on a bunch of new and exciting things. So make sure you come back in the New Year to take a peek!

Where have I been?!

Wow! It's been a long time since I posted last! But I have good excuses, I mean reasons!

My son started preschool and a few extra-curricular activities. I just finished a large Christmas card order. And I'm getting ready for my first craft fair in November.

I'll share pictures of what I've been working on later this week hopefully.

Thanks for checking in. Have a great week!

Another Princess Birthday

Here's the last birthday invitation I made:

The birthday girl loved the pink version of this invitation but her favourite colour is purple.

These water bottles looked so bright and summer-y.

I prefer to give something the kids can use rather than something they'll play with for 10 minutes, then get tired of or break.

I'll have more samples to share with you soon.

I've been wanting to do cupcake toppers for awhile now. Cupcakes seem to be everywhere these days; birthdays, showers and weddings. I made these for the same birthday party as above.

Have a great day!

More Birthday Goodies

Here's the latest invitation and favors I have made:

The mom wanted something that would be appropriate for her daughter and sons' birthdays. Their birth dates are close together so they celebrate both birthdays at the same time.

The favors:

Attached to the Thank You tag is a little package of sunflower seeds for the kids to plant in their own flower pot.

The party mom loved them and said they were a hit!

I have one more birthday invitation and favor to share next time.

Thanks for stopping by.

What I've been working on

So much for posting on a regular basis!

I've been working on several birthday party invitations and favors.

Here's a look:

This first invitation was for a little girl's second birthday party. It was for a close and dear friend's daughter so it had to be special.

These personalized picture frames were the party favors:

This pink princess invitation was for a little girl's first birthday party. It was a hit amongst the moms. There's glitter on the wand and crown. I also added pink jewels. You're never too young for sparkle!

These were the favors the mom wanted. I was on the hunt for pink and blue BPA-free water bottles. Not as easy as I thought it would be!

Lastly, I made this Baptism card for the same close friend I mentioned above. She was becoming Godmother to a precious baby boy. It was based on his invitation. She loved how it came together.

That's it for me today.

I'll share more pictures of the invitations and favors I'm currently working on shortly.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Note Cards

I made a few of these note card sets with holders as thank you gifts for my friends who have been so supportive with the start of my business. Each card has their initial. I hope they like them.

I will be posting these for sale on my site. A great stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift.

Thanks for stopping by.

My First Post

Hi and welcome to my blog. I'm a stay at home mom to a very active 2 year old. I've been crafting, scrapbooking and making cards for several years. Just recently, after friends' suggestions, I've started a website to sell my creations. You can see it here: http://www.cvcdesigns.ca/

I currently have cards listed but will be adding gift sets and packaging soon.
Here's one gift set that I've listed. I'm making several of these stationary sets for friends to give as Christmas gifts this year.
