Kate's Birthday Decor...{photo heavy}

So, it has only been about a month ago since Kate's birthday...
now I am finally posting about the whole thing.
I am a photo procrastinator on this one!

This was actually set up in my living room {for a while} until
I can do the photo shoot.  I also had to make a new set of cupcakes
to take this picture.
I covered my craft table with a canvas drop cloth.
 I used Canvas Corp Round canvas shapes and cut them in half for this scalloped edge.
Then it was easy to add the banners and butterflies.  I thought of painting the scallops, but
I thought it would be better to keep it neutral to use for other occasions. 
{2 of the butterflies are made out of Canvas Corp Corkstock}

 Would you believe that when I was taking these pictures it was storming outside?
It was pitch black. I had my boys holding lamps up for light on the side.
 Who doesn't love a great vintage scale in a tablescape?  :)
 This is a tiered shelf from Kate's room that I altered a little by adding some
embellishments.  I used all Canvas Corp patterned paper.
 I thought that it would be fun to have Kate's hands on canvas.  I used a 10"x10" Canvas Corp canvas and DecoArt paints {bahama blue and peony pink}.
 A great keepsake...
I just love using the mini clothespins to attach everything {Canvas Corp}.

  A top view of the Cupcake stand.  Canvas Corp's blank cupcake stands are soooo easy to alter.  I used Beacon Adhesive Fabric Tac to attach everything...and it works awesome.

 It is hard to tell in this picture but I used DecoArt SoSoft fine glitter paint {ice crystal}
on the canvas mini triangle.

  1. The cupcakes and the Keepsake Handprint = my favorite! I wish I was this crafty for my son's first birthday. Well, he's 18 months now, so I can always plan for the 2nd :)
