french-inspired party: watercolor invitations

October 13, 2012

I can’t believe that I haven’t shared details of my little Norah’s third birthday party that was in July?!
Time sure does fly by, and things get busy.

I wanted to first share her invitations with you.  I decided to go with a French-inspired theme for the party.  And, since France is full of talented artists, I decided to do watercolor invitations.

I printed black in onto watercolor paper, and used the watercolors to spruce up the invitations.

Be sure to check out the instructions, and full details on how I made the invitations over on my post on the Hellobee blog.

I’ll be sure to share more of the party soon!

DIY // stenciled mini first aid kits

September 7, 2012

I recently made these fun mini first aid kits to keep in my purse.  I kept finding myself being out and about, and one of my kids gets an ouchie and they need a bandaid, and of course I don’t have one on hand.

I bought these darling cotton muslin bags, and knew they would be the perfect size to be able to tote around in my bag.

I cut out the simple red cross design using freezer paper for my stencil, then added a few coats of fabric paint.  In no time, I had a well designed mini first aid kit to keep in my bag at all times.

I filled it with a few essentials for when you are on the go!
