rylie's 2nd birthday party.

i'm in hyper-planning mode around here... why?? because rylie elizabeth is turning TWO next week!

and what is better for a little girl who LOVES elmo (or "mo-mo"), than a super girlie elmo party??!?

i created this save-the-date to send out digitally to friends and family to give myself time in the craziness of the end of the school year to create an invitation and get them printed and sent out. :)

i'm super excited about how everything is coming along... including these little "party dots" which will be punched out and used as cupcake toppers at the party... so fun, right??

stay tuned for more girlie-elmo fun. :) exactly one more week 'til party time! :)

bella ballerina.

our sweet emma kate had her first dance recital last week. it was so fun to see her point and twirl with the other little girls onstage. we may be biased, but i think we might have a little star-in-the-making on our hands... :)

to commemorate the event, i made a sweet little invitation to send to family & friends so they could mark their calendars and join us if possible.

i used tiny prints to create this girlie little beauty.

the body of the invitation is printed in chocolate ink in a font that i'm obsessed with for kid-friendly events, at the moment. it's called "peach fuzz!" so much fun, right?!?

take some time today to channel your own inner "twinkle-toes." dancing makes almost everything better. :) (especially when you're 5!)

sweet!! :)

i've been blown away by all the interest i've had over the last 2 years or so for the "sweet baby" gender reveal invite i created below!

thanks to all who have expressed interest and have purchased this design! :)

if you are interested in purchasing a customized digital copy of this invitation ($18 for customization and a pdf of the invite, for you to share digitally or print on your own), please email me at sara.beth.rains@gmail.com. 

if you are interested in me printing the invitations and then shipping them to you, email me with that information as well, and i can get started on a quote. 

if you would like a custom invitation for another event, please contact me, and i'd LOVE to create something to fit your needs! :) 

thanks again for your support and encouragement of my creativity! :) it has definitely been "sweet." :)
