Fairy Happy 6th

I want to begin this adventure sharing what I have been working on. Most of our wedding was DIY, so I have plenty of content, but I want to start off with something else. I will get to wedding stuff soon enough!

Last November, we threw a birthday party for my little step daughter with her mom and step dad. It was an ordeal, being the first joint party, but it was a success. Our team was responsible for the invitations and favors, and I was very pleased with the outcome!

Fairies were the theme, and purple and green seemed to be the right color choice. For the invite, we gocco'd the envelope and the inside card, then attached it to a double sided enclosure card, inspired by butterflies, leaves, and fairies. My hubby wrote the text for the invite and I created all the artwork. It was finished with a sprinkling of fairy dust and it was ready to go out in a few hours! Very fun project!

The next part of our contribution was the favors. To continue the theme, everyone got a magical wand. The little girls got fairy wands and wings, and the little boys got elfin wands and ears. The wands were super fun to make and I had such a great time wandering around the craft store putting it all together. It is one of those projects that looked just how I saw it in my head!
