crafty friday, goodnight moon red balloon invitation 





i'm always looking for unique and interactive ways to send out invitations, (e.g. silvie's 1st birthday invite), so when i came across this idea (via pinterest), i knew this was perfect for silvie's 'goodnight moon' birthday theme this year.

crafty friday, lace birthday crown



i made a sweet little crown for silvie's upcoming 2nd birthday party. it was so easy and fun that i plan to make more in different colors for her dress up couture collection. all you need is lace, mod podge, metallic glitter acrylic craft paint, wax paper, sponge brush and a hair dryer for those impatient crafters (i'm raising my hand). 


head over to joyfolie for a detailed tutorial.
