Here's to today being awesome for so many people in my life, myself included! I got some super exciting craft-in-your-pants kind of news (that I'll be able to share soon) and continued to get equally exciting texts from a number of people that had gotten their own dose of good news. The stars are definitely aligned today....so cheers. to. that!
Alright, lady keeper of the elements...get a life. It's officially almost the END OF MARCH, and Chicago is still waking up to snow. SNOW! Whyyyyyyy. (insert distressed emoji face here)
So, although Mother Nature hasn't got her act together, I'm determined to make it feel like spring (indoors) one way or another! Call me crazy, but poop-stained snow and lack-luster trees ain't cutting it in the inspiring department. Sista needs some SUN! and COLOR! It is no wonder why these colors alone are like a breath of fresh air…and make my smiler smilier.
These cards were part of a past stationery set I did for a maternity shop here in the city, that were actually my first handmade cards to be sold in a retail store. That was an exciting day indeed, even though I'm pretty sure my Mom and Grandma were the ones to buy them out. Ha!
I figure with the lack of budding flowers outdoors, and the growing number of baby bellies in bloom (coincidentally that's what being stuck inside well into spring will do to a couple) it was a perfect time to bring them back for all these mamma-to-be's.
We can blame my nanny-side, but one of my favorite things I get hired for are custom birthday parties. Mind you, I'm well aware that a said 1 year old could careless that I spent hours hand making every item to make their birthday PERFECT…but let's not get all buzz-kill over here. I really think that I just enjoy "branding" a project throughout, regardless of the event.
For this party, the family I nanny for referred to their very mobile and active 1 year old, Gus, as "Danger Baby"...really couldn't have been more fitting. Which even sparked his Dad's "Call Me, Maybe" / "I'm Danger Baby" theme-song parody. Playing off all the dangers that Gus could get himself into, I designed the party to be caution/construction based…complete with warning signs and construction cone cups.
