For my 50th birthday, my husband asked if I was going to want black decorations with "over the hill" and stuff like that….. I said NO…. I wanted pretty flowers!! So we went with a tropical floral theme for the party!
I made a bunch of paper flowers using the Stampin' Up! Big Shot, Island Floral Die and the Fancy Flower Extra Large punch!! I used up all scraps for these flowers and then put them around my cake ! 🙂
I put corduroy buttons in the centers, and I watercolored some of the flowers with reinkers and my Aquapainter.
of course, then I had to spritz them all with Vanilla Smooch Spritz 🙂
You would think my husband was trying for a bonfire!! LOL .. at least he didn't put 50 candles on it!
oh… it was soooooooooooo good.. chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting!! 🙂
Well, I survived the Big 5-0 … and hubby wore his "50" jersey in my honor 🙂
Don't miss the RETIRING LISTS and the fabulous $99 Starter Kit Special!
We've just add

I love this! I was trying to find the Island floral die in the big catalog, and can’t find it, nor in the summer mini. Where is it?!?
Thanks for sharing the pictures. What a wonderful idea. Congratulations!

Congratulations Patty on your birthday. I wish I could have seen all of this in person – it is so bright and joyful! By the way – I think you need to hide your son under the bed – he is one handsome guy and all the girls are after him I’m sure! :)))))
