DIY, handmade and sewing fanatics will love this adorable Vintage Sewing Birthday Party by Pure Joy Events!

Christine created the most fabulous party for her daughter. From the sewing machine dessert table to the cake, all of the details are so creative. That cat on the cake totally looks like my cat too. It’s giving me lots of ideas for my own daughter’s party!

How fun are these Spools of Thread Cake Pops?

I love how creative this party was for all of the guests. This party theme would be perfect for any age!

While we were on our cruise, my daughter turned 4! Carnival was awesome and sent her a delicious chocolate cake. Of course I brought along some cute printables for a cake topper to go along with our princess theme:-)

After opening gifts (she couldn’t wait!), our wait staff sang Happy Birthday. Many of them were from different parts of the world, so it’s funny to see my kid’s expressions as they listened to the different accents. See that giant chocolate cake? My husband still ordered the famous Carnival Chocolate Melting Cake for dessert… yes, it’s that good! ha.

She was NOT in a happy princess mood that night, more like a grumpy princess who had a pea under her mattress! So this is about the best birthday photo I was able to get. Too bad, because her dress was a little tutu princess dress and so cute!

Luckily we did a #4 birthday photoshoot before we sailed away and I captured this one!

Like this cute princess border? You can purchase it in my shop! Along with the entire NEW printable Pink Princess Party Pack! FUN!

I’m very excited about the next few weeks at I Heart Faces! Now that it’s summer, we are celebrating teenagers and showcasing their talents by having several weeks devoted to them! More and more young photographers have been joining our Community and we are totally amazed by the degree of talent.

I firmly believe that it’s our job to encourage those at a young age. I Heart Faces is the place for encouragement, so if you know a young person interested in photography, be sure to tell them about our photo challenge on July 5th for ages 13-19 only. You can visit this page to learn about the details of our upcoming challenges.

This week, anyone can enter and you must have a teen in the photo. I don’t know many teens, but captured this pretty girl at the Jimmy Buffett concert last month. I was totally surprised by all the young kids there! I remember going to these concerts way back when and thinking it was just a bunch of OLD people wearing tie dyed shirts… I guess I’m one of the old people now:-)

I’m one of the co-founders of I Heart Faces and just entering for fun. I hope you’ll  enter a  photo this week. Be sure to visit our guest photographer judge this week. Jamie Delaine is an amazing, well known Vancouver photographer and only 19!! She’s such an inspiration!

Has I Heart Faces caused you to walk up to strangers and ask to take photos of them like it has me? Just wondering? ha!
