It all started with a little airplane

Here is a brief bio of how this all started.  I'm Cathy creative artist and owner of Five O' Five Design+Paperie, my online shop that specializes in printable party decor for any occasion.

I started out way back when in web site design, graduated college with a degree I will probably never use, and worked my way through a career in marketing & advertising. It wasn’t until the birth of my sweet little angel baby that I discovered my true passion for design.

Creating birth announcements and invitations really wasn’t too far off from my day job; in fact the only real difference was the excitement I had every time I received a new order. Business was good and it was the perfect little venture in-between all those late night feedings and early morning wake up calls.

Then baby no.2 came along and I had to close up shop. Between the 20+ hours I put in at my day job, the 150+ hours I put towards my family, there was just no time left for my passion. It was only when I started planning for my sons first birthday party that I found my true labor of love and myself again.

My goal for Five O’ Five Design+Paperie is to offer irresistible designs at affordable pricing. I hope you enjoy my shop as much as I enjoyed designing the items it in.

Here are a few images from my sons party.  Enjoy!

And here is the full airplane collection that I now offer in my Etsy Shop.

Las Vegas Style 30th Birthday Party

I was lucky enough to help my dear friend out with her husband's 30th birthday party last weekend.  She wanted to have a Vegas Style Soiree complete with human horse races, poker tournaments, black jack and craps tables plus to top the night off a little high stakes wagering on some fabulous baskets she created...let's just say it was fun.
I start off just creating some cupcake toppers and a Welcome Sign styled like the real Las Vegas Welcome Sign.  Like I also do, I got a little carried away and added a couple more printables for her party.  Here are a few images of the new Las Vegas Collection now available in my Etsy Shop and pictures of the party will be up soon.

My First Custom Order

I was so excited to receive my first custom order a couple of weeks ago from Claire's mom Kelli who was looking for adorable printables for her daughters first birthday.  Kelli was interested in a Teddy Bear Theme Birthday Party (Claire's nickname is Claire Bear).  After sending her a few examples we decided on a color scheme and the perfect little Teddy Bear Invitation.  Once the invitation was finalized, Kelli decided to add matching return labels, cupcake toppers, centerpiece circles, birthday banner, bunting photo banner, thank you tags and I threw in some Hersey kiss bottom stickers as a little thank you for being my first (non-family member) customer.  I can't wait to see the picture!
