Calendars

Hello! These are some calendars that I made as a Christmas gift for my mother in law's friends.

I decided to make them different from each other, according to personal characteristics that she told me about each friend.

Some of the calendars were shabby, modern, floral. Also, I changed the font, matching the calendar style.

Each calendar had the person's name on the back, with some pockets with tags that could be used for notes, birthdays,messages,...

It was a challenge to designed these calendars, I spent almost a month trying out lots of papers and ways to make them stay exactly like you see bellow.

I wanted something easy to use, fun and cute.

The masculine calendars had something added: they were magnetic, so the person could use the table calendar or just put the part with the months in another metalic surface!

If you need a gift for your friends, this is a good choice, they are unique!

Let me know as soon as possible how many you need and we can personilize them for you.

80's Birthday Party

 My sister and I celebrate our birthday in September...nothing better than remember our childhood in the 80's in a Family Reunion! ( Sorry I couldn't find Silvanos ) The first step was select the colors...Well, everything was very, very colorfull and bright in the 80's... I found these perfect paper plates on sale at Michael's.

Then, I thought about choosing a theme: a cartoon, a toy, or a singer to design the party. (I didn't want to have several things at the same time).

 

                                                     

     I started to think about what we loved  when we were little...going to "Vai Levando" (it was like a small grocery store), where we used to go buy something for our Mom and always used the change to buy a dose of sweet peanut, "7 Bello" candy, "lolo",...

These candy jars are very similar with those at the grocery!

PacMan was one of our favourite game! So, I started to make several PacMen and ghosts to put on top of the cupcakes and the big cake. Those were made of fondant, even the eyes...I have no idea how many of them I made...(secret: my Mom helped me)

And I wanted to make the Paper POm POmS using the same colors.

They turned out cute!

Sweet Sweet and Decoration

You've seen this lollipop before, maybe you just haven't noticed!

This lollipop is Bakerella creation! They have beautiful shapes and colors at the website www.bakerella.com.

My friend Sonia made some blue ones for Carla's baby shower.

(Check out Carla's Baby Shower Post)

Why not to try to make them for Father's Day? That's what I did! The only difference is that I put NUTELLA instead of ICING! It was delicious!

Julia's Birthday Party

Cute Julia turned 1!

      Nadia, Juju's momy loves to make crafts and she is really good at it! Thinking about her daughter's party, she made a research about themes and colors and then she chose this beautiful paper plate from Party City as a "starter" to the decoration. (I'll put the pic's invitation created by her soon).

     Nadia is always tunned in bellebum's blog and ordered some decoration suplies for Julia's birthday!(I think she liked my help in her baby shower. Thanks Nadia for ordering from me again!)

     It was really fun to create the paper suplies matching the plate. Green and Pink polka dots, squares, and striped papers for the "Happy Birthday" banner and candy boxes.

     For the USA party, she wanted to give the kids a party favor that she saw here in the blog before (check Belle Bum's Blog Party to see the party favor), mini Hershey chocolates wrapped in a cute paper and plastic bag with ribbons. BUT she came up with the idea of using the letters of Julia's name in each chocolate!

     For the Brazil's party, she asked me a coordinated paper decor to close the party favors, which were plastic bags with toys for the kids. (also from the blog - check the moving party)

The most important thing is that both parties were full of hapiness and joy!!!

Hope you like the ideas...

Kisses,

Belle
