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}.

 It is hard to tell in this picture but I used DecoArt SoSoft fine glitter paint {ice crystal}

on the canvas mini triangle.

Kate's Birthday Decor, Part 1

Little Miss Kate will turn 2 tomorrow...that is wild and crazy!

So, I am in the middle of making her birthday decor table to hold

the cupcake tree, treats and more.

I am going to show all of the decor in parts because

I do not have everything done yet, I just couldn't

resist to show you this:

Canvas Corp sells cupcake tree "blanks", they come in

Square and Round shapes.

{Scrapbook.com sells the square one here}

They also sell most of the Canvas corp products that I

used to make this.

 I was surprised on how easy it was to cover the stand, I was making it

harder than it was.  I used the Canvas Corp mini burlap & canvas shapes to make

scalloped edges by cutting them in half.  I love using Fabric-Tac glue

{Beacon Adhesives} to attach everything...even the paper!  I guess you can say

that you should use this glue in a well ventilated area...

I got a little light headed using it.:)

 I used the Accu-cut die-cutting system to cut out the cupcake wrappers, birds,

 butterflies and labels.  I especially like using the corkstock by Canvas Corp.

 I used Cosmo Cricket's Tiny Type stickers to spell out words and her name.

 Here is a "bird's eye view" of the stand, all of the papers are Canvas Corp.

I love the pink zebra papers!

So, keep checking back...I have tons more to share.
