I am constantly scouring in the internet for creative baby announcements, and I absolutely love this modern card, designed by Kate Stoltz. I really like the incorporation of baby Gemma’s footprint and the wrap-around ribbon tying the trifold together. And how sweet is that sleepy picture? Have you seen any other cute announcements? I’d love to see!
Last weekend, I headed over to Christie of KiKiMac‘s gorgeous house with Danielle of Goat and Spoon, and we had a perfect “Galentine’s Crafternoon.” She had posted some Valentine’s craft ideas here and here. As you’ll see in Christie’s post, we ended up creating these pretty hearts. Please soak in all of her gorgeous touches – like the place settings, menus, and delicious vegan, gluten free food!
Of course, with this festive holiday approaching us quickly, there are lots of DIY and decor inspirations posted across the web. Oh So Beautiful Paper’s Valentine Crafting Party ideas include some of my favorite! I adore these printables from Oh So Pretty x Sugar & Cloth.
If you’re looking to have or host a Valentine’s girl’s brunch, be inspired here. This Glitter Guide get-together is seriously perfect. I love the bubbly bar and the glitter LOVE letters.
Another gorgeous Glitter Guide crafty party is featured here. Every single detail (and craft) is perfect. Every one.
I also love this cupid’s arrow cake idea! Sasha and I would never finish that big of a cake, but I think a scaled down version would be perfect. I could even use our new favorite vegan chocolate beet muffin recipe for the cakes!
Another fun vegan Valentine’s Day recipe are these chocolate cake balls. I love finding vegan and gluten free recipes – perfect for a dinner with me and my brother-in-law, Carl, who has Celiac disease.
Photography blogs are my absolute favorite – I could literally stare at beautifully captured moments all day long. This week was awfully busy at work (sleep deprived!), but I managed to fit in 30 minutes of blog scouring late last night. The pictures below are my favorite photos for this week (although some were posted more than a week ago!). Which is your favorite?

I absolutely adore this ‘In Full Bloom’ baby shower from Hostess with the Mostest! It is completely over the top, but was planned by event planners (Double Take Event Styling), so what do you expect? The little pink and gold French touches are perfect, as are the florals, calligraphy and crafts – creating baby headbands? Too cute.

It has been ages since I’ve rounded up my favorite looks of the week (last post here). This was definitely not due to a lack of perfectly curated outfits. I’d have to say my favorite is Rachel Parcell’s snowy shoot and Christine Andrew’s sequined baby bump (slightly biased here!). Which of these looks do you like the most?
