Recently, I had the opportunity to create a few custom items for a "Lemonade and Lollipops" themed Birthday Party. If you would like to view party photos visit - Larger Than Life Event Planning Custom Designs And Treats - on Facebook.

My little one has finally turned the "BIG" 8! This year she wanted a "party". For the last couple of years she's opted out of having a party (which was totally fine with me) and instead has wanted to travel or go to theme parks. Admittedly, I was a tad bit excited, just because I haven't thrown any type of party for myself or any family/friends in a couple of years (I think?!).

The past couple of weeks I've been busy working on stationery for a very special celebration - My Pastor and his Wife 25th Anniversary. In addition to creating custom stationery, I also setup the Candy Buffet Table and assisted with Table Decorations. It was exhausting and a lot of work wearing so many hats, but the end results were amazing and I'm happy I was able to play such a small role in such a special milestone celebration! Congrats again Bishop Bobby and First Lady Gloria Banks!

Recently I updated the overall look of the Juicy Couture inspired Party Collection (available here in my shop: http://goo.gl/23v3n7). I wanted to stay true to the pink and brown striped pattern and updated the look with fresh new fonts, switched up the layout of the designs a little, and added quite a few new items. This is still one of my most favorite Party Collections and I love it so much because it's versatile and is appropriate for almost any type of celebration: Birthday Party, Baby Shower, Sweet 16, Bachelorette, etc.:

Most recently I had the opportunity to work with Wilma of (Wilma D. Bowtique) on her son's 7th Birthday Party. Wilma is a repeat Eccentric Designs customer... you may remember the package I worked on for her son last year - themed "DJ Miah ". This year the theme of Jeremiah's celebration was "Little Man". Wilma said, since Jeremiah was born herself and her husband have always affectionately referred to him as their "Little Man" - she felt it was only appropriate to throw him a Little Man/Mustache Bash this year. It's always a pleasure working with Wilma ... she is very detail oriented and knows exactly what she wants ... she picked her color scheme and provided me with ideas for her son's party. Together we worked our magic and came up with the most bright/colorful fun Little Man/Mustache Bash ever!

I really enjoyed working on this Modern Circus Baby Shower for Jahnisha & Mala, the color scheme included some of my favorite colors (pink and gold). I was really excited to jump on this project to see first hand how everything would come together. This stationery suite is appropriate for any celebration (1st Birthday, Baby Shower, Bridal Shower, etc.)

This weekend I had the opportunity to create a couple of cute stationery designs for a "Paris" themed Baby Shower. I've been wanting to design something "Parisian" for a very long time and was more than happy to assist creating the items below - I'm seriously considering building on this theme and making it a full collection - I guess time will tell : )

Happy Saturday!

My baby girl has finally turned FIVE... I cannot believe how fast she's growing up. I've really enjoyed this journey referred to as "Motherhood" with her and would not change one single thing. Raising her has been a growing and learning experience for me as well... Alley-Pooh has taught me so many things and has brought out a side ( a good side) of me I never knew existed. I can remember when she was a little baby and I would hold her in my arms and give her the occasional kiss on her chubby little cheeks and she would smile and coo at me, now that she's older we're having "real" conversations and she still "allows" me to kiss her cheeks and gives me that same smile : )

I had the opportunity to participate in creating something special for my friend Bridal Shower ... her color scheme was purple, black, and zebra print. The actual theme of the shower was "The Perfect Pair". Items from this Bridal Shower can be purchased in my Shop: www.eccentricdesignstudio.com

Custom Birthday Party Design for Wilma D. Bowtique. Wilma contacted me to create something special for her son who is a lover of music and who looks up to his father who is a local Disc Jockey (DJ) in their community. Together we brainstormed and dreamed up this incredible theme ... "DJ Miah"...

I recently created stationary items for a Princess Zebra Baby Shower. To be totally honest I've stayed away from "pink and zebra" stationary items (on purpose) because I felt like there were so many designer's creating items using that color palette (and in so many variations) that I did not feel the urge or need to create my own.

Initially when I found out what the color scheme was I thought to myself (ugh) do I really want to take on this project and this "cheesy" overly used pink and zebra theme? The Event Coordinator or my good friend Marecia contacted me for these items and I could not tell her "no", because I know that Marecia will add her own twist to the theme with out of the box ideas... I've worked with Marecia on several occasions (my last opportunity was her Son's "Animal Safari Adventure").

So, here I am...Again, I've been afforded the opportunity to work with Marecia to create a few stationary items for a Baby Shower she is coordinating and I am pleased with the end results (and maybe even a little hopeful that my designs will stand out from the rest).

This same Baby Shower theme is offered in Turquoise (for a Boy Baby Shower). This theme can also be used for Sweet 16's, Bridal Showers, Quinceanera's, or any other celebration:
