This month's theme was parties. The photos Heidi S. put together are amazing! I was not at a loss for inspiration.

I love girly styles and colors so it's no surprise that the top right photo stood out to me. The colors of the cupcakes, party hats, and banner in the photo work perfectly with the Homespun chic collection. The shades of pinks and greens are perfectly scrumptious.
I always need birthday cards so this card and gift bag combo will come in handy.

Here's a close up of some of the detail. Scallops, fabric, lace, and pearls are the perfect vintage touches.

The bag only cost around .33 cents at Hobby Lobby. So this gift bag is a very inexpensive gift wrap. I started out making a tag but in the end I decided to add it to the front of the bag instead of hanging it from a handle.
