{Sweet Customers} Sweet Bubble Gum Birthday Party!

I'm so excited to share this SWEET Bubble Gum Birthday Party with you today! Kate of Kate Bogot Photography contacted me about designing a collection for her daughter, Isabelle's 8th birthday! She was inspired by Isabelle's favorite pajamas which had gumball machine illustrations! I had been wanting to do a bubble gum collection, so this was perfect!

Isabelle's gorgeous, bright hairpiece was made by Gracy Lu Originals! Too cute! The adorable rhinestone tank was made by my new favorite rhinestone tank designer, Cristy of PaperLili! After Lisa from The Cookie Jar saw my Gumball invitation design on Facebook, she sent me the link to her adorable gumball machine cookies! They were perfect for Isabelle's party! Enjoy all of the bright, yummy details of this beautiful party!

NEW Printable Bubble Gum Collection is available in the SHOP!
