little red car party

Another brilliant, beautiful party from the dynamic duo at scissors paper cake. Perfect for that little speedster in your life! (I'm already inspired for Gram's birthday next year, if his current obsession with vehicles continues). I love how they took the checkered race car flag pattern and used it throughout the party. It feels so cohesive without being too 'theme-y.' And of course I think the red and blue color combo is great- a chic take on 'boy' colors without being too primary. Love, love, love!

scissors paper cake (+ safari party)

Two favorite people I've discovered since entering the blog world is Nathalie of Imprintables and Naomi of Hello Naomi cupcake fame. Their creativity always blows me away!

Nathalie recently shared that she discovered Naomi via this blog, so now I am even more partial to them. Of course I have to share their most recent venture with you... a new business they created called 'scissors paper cake' in which they handcraft everything for your party. Amazing stuff, as shown above for a 2 year old's safari-themed party. You lucky Aussies can enjoy their creations, but the rest of us will just have to admire from afar!
