While everyone else has been posting about this wonderfully creative sewing theme party, I have been a little late in the game. I think I had slight food poisoning yesterday, so I didn't have the strength to post this.

Remember when I did the posting on the invitation spools I designed for this party? Christine at Pure Joy Events recently gave an update on her daughter's recent "Sew Seven" birthday party. Photos of the party were beautifully captured by Rebecca Watkins Photography. I urge you to go check it out, you won't be disappointed!

UPDATE! - Amy Atlas just featured this party on her blog today!

Vintage Sewing-Themed Invitation Spools

Christine from Pure Joy Events is planning a "Sew Seven" theme party for her daughter's upcoming 7th birthday party. In addition to wanting name cards, thank you cards and favor tags, she had this unique idea to wrap invitations around a wooden spool and have a round sticker placed on top. I was sure excited to work on this for her.

So when she first sent me photos showing the overall look of the invitations, I was thrilled! I just love how they came out and she did an awesome job putting everything together.

Going through Christine's blog, automatically showcases her love of crafting and styling parties for children. That is why I can't wait until I see photos of her daughter's party! 

What's New to FLIPAWOO

Sorry for the lack of postings. It's really difficult to manage a household, take care of 2 kids and run my Etsy shop. Not that I'm complaining. Not at all! I just need to figure out a way to work on my shop full-time.

I have so much I want to do, but very little time!

Here's an update of what I have been adding to my shop:

Picnic Invitation

Summer Invitation

Corset Shower Invitation

Bee-Themed Invitation

Etsy Treasury - "The Picnic"

Yay! My picnic designed invitation, just made its appearance in an Etsy treasury page curated by, "The UntamedHeart". I already love her stuff! Check out her shop.

I have another new invitation design that I'll post about tomorrow. Now I'm off to cooking dinner and getting ready to go pick up my son from school!

Updated Paris Passport Invitation Designs

Another happy customer received their package of invitation prints today and was thrilled with how they turned out! She ordered my Paris Passport invitation prints and wanted to incorporate a damask pattern and have the circle text design layered over the cover. She also opted to not include any photos.

I was so excited to receive her email today with the following comment:

"They are totally amazing!  Thanks!  I will definitely be ordering from you again."

Yay! Another happy customer!

Here's another design available for the inside card. This was for another customer who also loved how the invitations turned out! She only wanted to include one photo of herself for the inside card. She looked absolutely stunning. I couldn't even tell she was pregnant.

Western-Themed Invitations

With the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, I've been thinking of outdoor BBQs lately (stomach is growling right now...ribs...yum). So naturally, I started to think it was time to design some new Western-themed invitations. A Western-themed party can be fun for all ages and these can easily be customized for a birthday party, backyard BBQ party, or a bridal/baby shower.

I couldn't decide on one particular design, so I used the same text layout over different backgrounds.
