Minnie-Styled {Salma Turns 2}

50 {Salma Turns 2} Birthday Favours /
Deadline, 17 June 2011

My little munchkin had just turned TWO – how time flies…!

She had recently created this adoration towards Minnie Mouse which inspired me to throw her a Pink Minnie Mouse-themed Birthday Party… There were pink balloons, pink table cloths, pink napkins, pink plates, spoons and forks…

I dressed her in a cute Minnie Mouse outfit so she stands out as the “Birthday Girl”… her face was painted so she looks like a little mouse.

I also dressed in a black & white polka top and put on my own Disney Minnie Mouse Glitter Ears (my bow was red)!

The kids got mouse ears and Minnie/Mickey pins to match the theme too…

The birthday cake design was inspired from her Disney Minnie hat…

My mum baked Mickey Ears butter cookies which I decorated with pink marzipan dough and drew a number two. I then put each cookie into a transparent plastic bag and sealed it with a “Salma Turns 2” tag – these were the favours I distributed.

We blew Salma's two year candles... Things went perfectly and everything looked synergized.

The kids were adorable. The parents were lovely. The food was yummy. Everyone was happy. Salma was ecstatic. Happy Birthday Salma <3

{Kooki} the Cookie Monster

60 'Kareem Turns One' Favours/
Deadline, 14 June 2011

I hadn't blogged in forever and I'm very far behind with posting the new projects I had worked on but it has been a very hectic summer. Though... it's never too late!

Also born on June 14th, little Kareem (a.k.a. cookie monster) had just turned one. His wonderful parents decided to throw him a cookie monster-themed birthday party and I was asked to create 60 favours that work for both kids and adults.

I therefore developed blue boxes (using the cookie monster blue pantone colour) and illustrated the cookie monster face.

Striped and dotted blue & white tissue paper was then inserted and filled with 3 chocolate chip cookies (per box) to match the theme. The back of the boxes said "Kareem turns ONE"...

The result was adorable little blue boxes that made cute favours.

May Kareem's coming years be filled with laughs and giggles amongst his loved ones... everyday... Happy Birthday!
