Yep, that's what I was thinking PINK! As I mentioned earlier, this has been a month of birthdays. These cards were for the girls. I used 1 sheet of card stock for the backs of the cards and only 1/2 sheet of a lighter weight stock for the decorative fronts. Then, yes I used the last of my vintage pink velvet ribbon.
I was sad to use it all, but you know what that means...reason and room to buy more! My MIL's surprise party is next weekend, so I'm not sure how much I'll be around next week. I'm taking off from work next Thursday and Friday to finish cooking, but I feel totally under control.
We're having a small cake and I'm doing a melted chocolate fountain with strawberries, pretzels, marshmallows and lady fingers. I'd still like to have one other dessert. Any suggestions?
The rest of the menu is pretty set - Meatball Sandwiches, Italian Roast Pork, Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo, Potato Salad, Caesar Salad, Deviled Eggs, Veggies and (2) Dips, Chips, Pretzels and Dip, Cheese and Fruit Platter. I'll make most of these items next Friday and Thursday will be shopping for last minute items. If anyone has any suggestions for another side dish I love to hear it.I'm joining Beverly for this week's Pink Saturday - be sure to pop on over and see what she and other lovers of Pink have going on!

Your party plans seem well in hand and your cards are beautiful. Great job on crafting them yourself, and making them so personal.
I added a PS about the white flowers if you would like to take a look. Happy Pink Saturday!
Such lovely cards, just in time for Spring. Hope your party is a success!
It would be great if you came and joined us for Seasonal Sundays at The Tablescaper.

I'll always go for cheesecake. It'll be good with your wonderful menu! :D
Your cards are absolutely wonderful. I've been so busy moving the house around since we became 'empty nesters' and looking at your cards makes me want to drop all and just lock myself up in the craft room to make cards. May I copy your designs? Pink velver ribbon! Where on earth did ya find that :D Glad you caught my post; I guarantee you'll like this book.
