Usually the food takes up the whole table at our birthday parties.
With streamers from the chandelier to the corners of the table, cake on one corner, and food covering the rest of the table I was wondering WHERE I would put a centerpiece!?!
Finally got the idea to make a low decoration for the back of the table - behind the food. I usually decorate this area anyway with something that coordinates with the theme.
So here is my "centerpiece" creation that won't actually be in the center!
(Click to enlarge and see the details a little clearer!)
The details:
I printed the letters of my daughters name on three different colors of cardstock and embossed them in the cuttlebug.
Each letter has polka dots on 1/4 of it and various other folders were used on the other 3/4.
The polka dots alter between being on the top of the letter and then the bottom of the next etc.
Each letter is inked along the edges with pink ink and attached to white poster-board with polka dots added around them with a marker.
(Close up pictures to see the details a little better.)
The last thing I did was cut out four more baby images from my Anne Geddes book and "pop" them out the top of four letters.
Now we're all set for a birthday party!
