Mabe' and I have been very very busy for the past few weeks preparing for Zoei's first birthday... c foam the reason why I haven't had time to write a new post for 2 weeks. The theme for the party is Ladybug and Bumblebee. So, I have to come up with an invitation, banner, guestbook, decorations c foam and give-aways that will match the theme. Unluckily, here in Dubai, almost non of those are available. (then why pick that theme!? I don't know. ask Mabe'.) We then have to do everything ourselves. =P 
Next was the banner. c foam Creating the layout at photoshop was easy. But, instead of just printing it out on a tarpaulin, Mabe' wanted to do it 3D-style. (3D-style? I probably just made up that word 'coz I don't know what to call it). So we headed out to buy styrofoam balls, googly-eyes, wires, acetate, foam boards, acrylic paints, paintbrushes, paint rollers, glitters, glitter paint and double sided tapes.
The ladybugs were made from two different sized stryrofoam balls cut into halves, painted and sprinkled with glitters. Black wires and beads were used for the antenna and then a pair of googly-eyes for the finishing touch. For the bee's body, we used an egg-shaped c foam styrofoam. c foam And for the bee's wings, we used a yellow colored acetate glued to a wire.
For the give-aways, we were lucky to find chocolates wrapped in ladybug and bee wrappers. We just needed a box to put it in to. So I created c foam a pattern, using an A4 sized paper, that when cut, scored and folded, will make one box. We needed 60 boxes, so scoring and cutting the acetate took a lot of time. The chocolates were stuck, using double sided tape, to a yellow c foam paper printed with a thank you note. Mabe' just then added the ribbon.
Like Zoei's guestbook during her Baptismal celebration, I made another one using my talent in scrapbooking. Yes guys, scrapbook! It's not just for ladies you know. Hahaha... Unfortunately, c foam I forgot to take a photo of the pages when it was still blank.
very creative!!! ang ganda.. nakakatuwa cyang tingnan! labor of love!!
