Welcome to the "April Showers Bring May Flowers" Blog Hop!  

We're so happy you could join us today!  

You should have arrived from SARAH. If you happened by my blog or are joining me from your dashboard, head over to Miranda's blog to start at the beginning. We don't want you to miss any of the fun!
 
We will be showcasing Spring like projects or projects with a rain or flower theme! In addition to seeing a lot of awesome creations, there is some blog candy available too.  Miranda will be giving away a gift card from either Michael's or JoAnn's (winner's choice).  To be eligible for the blog candy, you are required to visit each stop in the hop and leave a comment!  The winner will be announced Wednesday, Apirl 24th on Miranda's blog! 

I wanted to share with you a garden party theme that me and a good friend did together for her daughter's first birthday.  Hopefully, you can get some great ideas for your Spring/garden parties.

Birthday Banner- using Storybook for letters and flower scallops, and fabric butterflies from craft store. I strung it on twine.


Here is a close up, all were cut at 4"


Table centerpiece using a glass vase to hold flowers from the yard in a wicker serving basket. In the bottom are pretzels.  Added a little sign from the $1 store and the green flower is a hair rubber band.

 Cupcakes using liners from Walmart along with cake pop vellum flower pedals.  Another butterfly from the craft store (Hobby Lobby, these were all clearance).  Added some fake flowers around the cupcakes.

 Here is a close up of the cupcake picks that I made with the Cricut

Photo centerpiece (guy in the picture is my hubby, forgive the Steelers shirt, I am a Browns fan, lol)  Just used some branches from the back yard.  Cut out the flowers on the Cricut and cut the pictures by hand.

 Little highchair banner for the birthday girl with her name.

Hope you liked the decorations!!!!
