Mother's Day Celebration - Scrapbook Luncheon

I love my Momma, I love being a Mom and I love to scrapbook! So this year I hosted a Scrapbook Luncheon for my Mom and the other great Mommy's in my life (and my nieces) to celebrate Mother's Day.

The Decor:
I combined my love of chevron with my love of turquoise and hot pink to create the invitation and matching party decor. I created two backdrops with tulle and made matching table runners and a banner. My mom made the gorgeous flower arrangement for my centerpiece. Isn't it beautiful? I absolutely love it and can't wait to find a place in my office for it to live permanently.

The Food:
I served finger sandwiches, Mom's red potato salad (my mom makes the best potato salad), Kale salad, fresh fruit, veggies and humus.

Desserts:
The ladies had their pick of cupcakes, cake, strawberry shortcakes and an array of candy for dessert.

Party Favors:
I decorated gable boxes with the initials of each lady and filled them with a handmade scarf. They were a huge hit (so don't be surprised if you see them added to our Rayden Vaughn Grayson Designs line)!

My beautiful friend Gabby modeling her scarf.

We ate, we talked, we scrap-booked and we created memories, it was a fabulous day with some fabulous ladies!

Thank you for visiting!

God Bless,

He's Aged to Perfection

This past weekend my wonderful husband turned 40 and we celebrated the milestone with a James Bond themed party. After all, my hubby is indeed "Aged to Perfection" and to me he will always be sexier than the sexiest James Bonds (Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig).

WARNING: Lots of Photos ahead. :)

Inspiration:

I wanted something personalized and original so I looked through dozens and dozens of James Bond posters and memorabilia and decided on making him the next James Bond.

That's my husband Photoshopped to resemble a promo poster from one of the Bond movies.
Tidbit: Did you know that this year also marks James Bond's 50th Anniversary?

The Details:

I wanted something elegant for the decor so I chose red, black,white and silver as the main color pallet and incorporated gold throughout the party as an accent color. I pulled several details from some of my favorite 007 movies for inspiration such as dice, playing cards, golden guns, chess pieces, martinis, guns, gold bars and jewels.

The Food:

For dinner we had a "Locked and Loaded" Baked Potato Bar with all the fixings and an array of salads and soups. My dear friend Jamie made marvelous sweets, the martini shaped rice krispy treats, dice cake pops and chocolate covered Oreo tuxedos and martinis.
