Helana's Birthday is coming up in the next week and I need to plan some decorations that I can take on the road.  I looked at my pinterest boards for some ideas and I think I have come up with a plan.  I couldn't find tissue clusters in the exact colour I wanted but you can see where I am going with my colour palette.  I just love that fabric tassel banner - I might make mine from crepe paper or paper napkins - we'll see what I can find in my hood.  I think I can match some scrap paper to my colour theme and have the templates for the hats and add them to existing party hats at our destination.  Adding that little cake banner to the cake we come up with is going to be adorable.  The paper lanterns are made from paper bags - how easy is that?

How easy... well we'll see.  If I can get it together I will show you my birthday travel pack later this week.

Tracey! move on ...

You would think after stressing over tissue balls and paper lanterns, I would welcome a break.

You would be wrong.

I think this is so beautiful.  Just a wild collection of colors and shapes as a back drop for the wedding of blogger  Elsie Larson. You can see all the beautiful, amazing images here.

How about this created for another wedding.  I love all the different types of flowers in the swag.  I even see one like my white flower from one of the grads.  Hope I remember this idea in a couple of years!

Here is another grouping for a shower.  Love the pale blue.

I have seen this around before.  How cool to be on the cutting edge of glitter and fringe.  This is the go-to group for that.

Here is a collection of streamers and flowers.  Directions for the ruffled streamers can be found here.

And of course the banner.  Can we get enough of those.  This is a tutorial on how to create a tissue one.  Very ethereal.

I have to wait two years for the next graduation.  Maybe I could apply them to this room.

Would that be too much?  Is it time to move on ? ...
