Ladybug Birthday

One of the great things about being back in Utah is being able to celebrate my darling Emily's 9th birthday. After about an hour of grilling her, we figured out that she loves ladybugs! I was so excited to help decorate for a girl for once.
I started where else? Eighteen25 for a adorable and girly subway print.
I earned many pinpricks making this ribbon topiary, inspiration found out a Michael's store while waiting in line. Tutorials are all over the interweb.
I love to decorate goofy little cakes and cupcakes. Emily chose a moist banana cake with cream cheese frosting. Recipe found here
With help from Beth, mother-in-law extraordinaire, I completed this banner the night before the party.
A lovely ladybug afternoon!
