Gracie's First Birthday

Well, of course I had to go all out for my first baby girl's first birthday so I enlisted help from my bff Jen to help me make a fabulous cake. I ended up making a cake for her and then cupcakes for all the kids with flower cookies on top. They turned out so cute! It was so much fun to do.

The cake with a few cupcakes around it.

We had regular cupcakes and mini ones as well. It was so cute all mixed together.

She got several new babies and a soft stuffed teddy bear. She loves to mother them already.

I took off all her clothes in hopes that she would dig in to her cake.

She loved it when everyone sang to her. She was leading the music and clapping.

She didn't dig into her cake. She put her finger in it for a bit and that was about it. It was yummy for everyone else though.

Card Design

I made my Christmas Card this year and after showing a few people and getting feedback they all asked if I could make theirs. So I decided, why not. I am not limited to Christmas Cards. As you see I've done a few baby announcements and a birthday invitation. I could also do wedding invitations. If you're interested, just email me with your picture(s) and an idea of what you'd like it to say and maybe an idea of your style. I'll do an option or two and email back to you. You get it printed wherever you'd like just like you would a standard photo although if you use Walgreens or Walmart I would suggest doing send out and not one-hour. One-hour prints very dark and doesn't stay true to color. I'm charging $15 for a 4x6. I can do any size you'd like but there is an additional $3 charge for other sizes. It's best to have your envelopes and check into your printing options before we decide on what size. Any questions just email me at scottshelley@cableone.net. Thanks! Below you'll find a slideshow of some of my samples. Let me know if you like one of these. Your card will be original but could be similar to someone else's or to one of my samples.
