Bee Baby Shower {shop update}

An excellent way to thank friends and family for coming to your baby shower is by sending them a thank you note.  If you would like to thank them for BEE-ing there, you can use this cute flat card which is now available in the shop as in instant download!

You can find other matching items here.

Dressing up for Halloween {a shop update}

My adorable and sweet animal friends felt like dressing up for Halloween... so I just uploaded some spookily cute notecards to my shop (just in time for Halloween):

Frankenstein's Hippo

Foxy Vampire

Masquerade Elephant

Your kids will love handing these out! 

Which one is your favorite?

Warning: Dinosaurs are back! {shop update}

Boys just love dinosaurs, don't they?

My son seemed to have a slight obsession with these oversized reptiles from age 3 to 7. Birthday party gifts were easy: books, jigsaws, toys, ... as long as it had a dinosaur on it, you couldn't go wrong.

Do you have a little paleontologist at home as well? You could turn his next party into a prehistoric adventure!

• Start off with a dino-mite invitation
• cut out some giant dinosaur footprints or use chalk to draw them onto your driveway
• bury some toy dinosaurs in your sandpit and have the kids digg them up
• go on a dino egg hunt
• serve a variety of bite-sized (pun intented!) foods

A dinosaur party = a roaring good time!

You can find the dinosaur invitation and additional party items in the shop.

Ok, so maybe I could only name the T-Rex and Velociraptor from the top of my head before my son was born (I did watch Jurassic Park after all) but through his adoration for these creatures I also became acquainted with the Brachiosaurus and the Triceratops.  Yes, I admit: it was mainly through watching The Land Before Time with my little guy, but don't you just love Littlefoot?

Do you think girls would fall for a pink version of this adorable dinosaur?

Shop update: Giraffe Baby Shower Invitation

Since the giraffe I designed for the Jungle Birthday Party turned out so cute I also used her for a giraffe baby shower invitation. Grey and yellow appears to be a very popular colour combination these days and it can be used both for a gender neutral baby shower or for a boy/girl invite. 

I seem to have fallen in love with dots lately so many of my latest designs have a dotted background. Don't you just love dots too?



Making the switch to FB timeline + a shop update

 

Yesterday I made the switch to the new timeline on facebook. Brand pages will automatically make the swith to Timeline on March 30. Usually I tend to wait till the last minute to embrace changes like that, but now I was brave and switched even before the deadline!  I used a few elements from my latest Jungle Birthday Party design to make my page look more welcoming to visitors (hello new likers!). I'd love to hear what you think of it.

By the way, the full Jungle Birthday Party set is now available in the shop: monkeys swing by, lions wear crowns and the use of bright colours really makes this set pop.  Here are a few examples:

It's very suitable for a boy's birthday party (or for girls who just don't like pink and princesses!).

Shop Update: Spring Flowers (and a few more elephants)

March 21st marks the arrival of Spring here in Belgium and when I think of Spring I think of the early flowers that start to bloom. Little dots of colour appearing in the grass and between the trees, making the days a bit more colourful.

Well, Spring is now not only in the air, but also in the shop!

I already posted a little sneak peek on the blog (with special thanks to the lovely Tanya from Tanya Ryff Photography) but I'm happy to announce that Spring Flower cupcake toppers and food labels are now available in the shop in different colour combinations. So whether you like pink or blue, there's certainly a flower there for you... The food labels are blank and can thus be used for any occasion. The cupcake toppers were designed with Tanya's beautiful granddaughter in mind who recently turned two. They can be personalized with name, age and initial of the birthday girl. And I couldn't resist making another set of cupcake toppers with my signature elephant design for an extra sweet touch (complete with flower behind her ear to match the Spring Flower designs!)

I will leave you with a few more pictures...
