Selected as Party of the Day on August 27th!
The Secret Garden
ByParty Recap
I had the great delight of designing this baby shower recently. The theme was The Secret Garden--what fun! I wanted to play with shadow, light, and texture instead of color for this party. I just love how it turned out--it's always great when the real pictures look anything like the picture in my mind. ;-)
I'll have lots of tutorials from this party coming up on my blog (address in my profile).
