Yahaira's 30th Birthday

I've spent the last several weeks researching and designing my friend, Yahaira's, 30th birthday party. Actually, correction she is having two 30th birthday parties which I think is so super fab! Yahaira is one of the type of  client everyone dreams about. She told me the colors she wanted: powder pink, citron, mint green and chocolate brown and that it had to be fun and girly. I took her very open-ended suggestions and just ran with it. There are not too many clients that let you design and then respond with a "I love it!" Thank you Yahaira, for choosing me to design your parties, I am having so much fun with them!  

Oh, be sure to check her blog here.

More goodies to come in the next few weeks when everything is completed for her both events. Also be sure to check Llorente Design, as I will be posting more photos there as well.

Paper Love Monday

Happy Monday to All! Hip Mama Hip Baby is back to posting regularly this week. 

On Saturday, we celebrated my son's 1st Birthday, we all had a great time after battling tornado warnings, a flood watch and practically swimming our way through the day. A huge thank you to all, for making it happen despite the weather and occasional yelling on my part. sorry :)

More to come on Jack's whale and nautical themed celebration, within the next few days. In the meantime, here are a few pretty paper things to look at. I am swooning over these invitations. Ahhhh the inspiration begins to keep me going through the new week.  Hope you are all having a fabulous Monday morning! xo
