lucky number seven :: casino party sneak peek

I just received the photos from my daughter's "Lucky #7 Casino Party" we had last weekend.  It's going to take me awhile to go through them all - they are so good! The super talented Stephanie Anestis, photographer extraordinaire, has done it again - she captured the day perfectly and made the party look even better (especially considering the party took place in our basement)!

Here are a few sneak peeks...

lucky number seven invites :: casino

Today is my daughter's 7th birthday! 

Happy Birthday, Ella! You bring me joy everyday!

The theme for Ella's party this year is "Lucky #7". We are having a kids casino party... lots of kid-friendly card and dice games in our future. We are "betting" on a good time! (Sorry, couldn't resist.) Here are a couple pictures of the invites. I took pictures of the process and will be doing a "scratch-off" tutorial soon.

Being her 7th birthday, we used several graphics to represent that. Notice the dice stickers on the envelope flap as well as the dice at the top of the invite; both sets equaling seven, of course!

After scratching off...

More sevens!!!

A sweet and simple cake I made for a baby shower this past weekend. I love the color combo - pink, peach and orange.
