Happy Birthday Bella!

Some of you have heard me talk about a precious little girl named Bella (Bella's Story) who was diagnosed with stage IV, high risk, neuroblastoma in July 2009. This month she is celebrating her third birthday and I couldn't have been more honored when her mom asked me to help with some of the decorations.  My family and I are unable to attend the party so as a gift to Bella I created several elements to make her day special.  I took a few shots of some of the decor but I am hoping that Bella's mom send me photos from her big day.

Also, my good friend of Kori Clark Designs designed some super cute invitations for Bella that I used as inspiration for most of the decorations. Here are a few of the pics of the Water labels, Door Sign, Banners, napkin rings, favor tags, snack cups and cupcake toppers.

In the mist of my crazy packing and organizing for our family trip to the Keys for Thanksgiving ...

I totally forgot to take a picture of the super cute custom lollipop tags and cupcake wrapper centerpieces I did as well. I look forward to seeing pictures from the real party!

Happy Birthday Bella! Enjoy your Special Day!

These are my FAVORITE!!! I can't wait to make these again! SO CUTE

Here is a special project that I did for mom and dad! They wanted me to create some sort of idea that would incorporate photos of their little one throughout the year. Here is what I came up with after a couple of sleepless nights.
