{Featured Parties} A Candy Land Party

We ALL love Candy Land, right?
Just wait until you see some of the great ideas that Crystal, a party planning mama, shared with us.
She recently shared photos from the sweetest
Candy Land party that she recently planned for her daughter, Paisley! (PUN intended!)

Crystal sent out super cute invitations.... Check them out!

The party event was a life size version of Candy Land! Literally!
The kids looked like they had so much fun!

Each part of the Candy Land Party/Game had an activity (or treat) associated with it. SO Creative!

Crystal used our Sweet Celebration Collection to decorate and accessorize throughout the party.

At the start of the party, they got their treat bags to carry throughout the game.

They did everything from decorating cupcakes at Cupcake Commons.
:) LOL




At Gummy Hills - the kids got a little bag of gummy bears that were packaged by making a bag topper using the printable package from our collection.


The kids made candy necklaces at Lolly Pop Woods.
The kids did a cake walk and Crystal gave away little prizes for the child that landed on the particular pink candy card when the music stopped.
The final prize was the actual Candy Land game!
The kids got to grab a Candy Cane for their treat bag at the Candy Cane Forrest.
At the Candy Castle, the kids got to jump out a little of the sugar!

The kids got to eat an ice cream treat at Ice Cream Slopes.... (of course!)
The kids had there choice of different flavored ice at the Ice Palace...

If that wasn't enough sweets, check out the treat table!
Crystal decorated with our printable "Sweet Celebration" banner and other printable graphics.

I LOVE the cake! So SWEET!


Adorable centerpieces....
Paisley looks so "sweet!"


At the end, Crystal gave away toothbrushes with a printable tag that said "Thank you for making my birthday so sweet". (Crystal was hoping to get back on the moms' good sides after all that sugar!)

I am blown away by all of the details!
Congrats on a very beautiful party!

The Sweet Celebration package is available in the shop!

{Featured Clients} Super "K" Turns Three by Real Life Events



Super "K" Turns Three

Shauna of Real Life Events recently shared with us photos from her son's third birthday party. Shauna was inspired by our recent Super P post and did a super duper job using our customized printables!


The party was held at a local venue..look at the smiles on those faces!



Capes courtesy of one crafty Grandma.


Easter just happened to be the next day; total bonus!



The party was held from 9:00am until noon, so Shauna featured breakfast type foods.



Who doesn't love string cheese?



A great favor idea: personalized sippy cups (Shauna filled them with apple juice).



Cupcakes for breakfast?! The party went until lunch and from the looks of it, these kids burned off some major energy. (Shauna made the cupcake wrappers!)



Rice Krispie treats





These kids went through lots of "Wham!" water.





Thank you Shauna; we love when people send us pictures of the parties they create using our printables (hint, hint)!

A Batman Party by Two Sugar Babies

You know how much we LOVE Super - Super Hero parties!

Charynn of Two Sugar Babies just styled the most fabulous Batman inspired birthday party! You know Charynn's work is fabulous when you see her fondant cupcake toppers all over the party blog world, but just wait until you see what else she has up her sleeve!

She asked us to modify our super hero package to be a batman inspired collection, so we helped her out!

I can't wait to share her amazing work!

The dessert table took center stage. Check out the CAKE!

Charynn styled the party around vintage Batman colors of blues, black, white, and yellow. I just LOVE her custom made boxes that were used to display the brownie pops and candy cones. Batman's body and Robin's body! SO CREATIVE!

The detailed work is incredible!
Check out some of the other details - like these adorable Kandy Kones!

Charynn made these fabulous brownie pops! Batman, check... Robin, check... Joker.. check. She covered all the bases!
Sugarbelles made the fabulous cookies...
Charynn designed these fabulous fondant cupcake toppers. We designed a custom cupcake wrapper that had the city skyline motif.


Sweeties by Kim - Chocolate covered oreos! (Remember, we used these in Super P's party - Super Oreos! They are SOOO delightful!)
One of the most creative touches - Charynn created Keaton's name as a centerpiece. The letters of his name were designed with vintage batman comics.... AMAZING!

I love the vintage batman prints that she used as placemats.
Joker Juice was at each child's place setting, along with super hero masks! (Our fav source, Kid Kapers!)


Now, onto the favor table... Precious photographs of Keaton in his Batman outfit were used as the backdrop.

Fabulous cookies make their appearance as favors! Seriously so cute.

My favorite Super Hero source - Kid Kapers! (They made capes and masks for Super P's party!)





Some of her creative food ideas were just too good not to share!

Some of the foods served (so creative!)
Batman Bacon Bites
Penguin Popcorn
Poison Ivy Pizza
Robin's Deviled Eggs
Riddler roll-up sandwiches
Two-face taco dip
Joker juice
Catwoman crudites
Mr. Freeze fruit pizza
Alfred's appetizer dips
Harley quinn hamburgers

Such great inspirations from Charynn!

Happy Birthday, Keaton! You are one lucky boy!

Our New Logo (& what we are up to)




Hi friends!

We just had to share our new logo with you all. Our website has been "in the works" since last year...but we have been working with a programmer for the past several months. Stay tuned for the launch of our new website/blog!

We wanted to "clean up" our logo to give a fresh look. We had some input on the "ar" creative "look" from a super creative designer from Turkey!

We have been in business since February 2010 and have been wanting to organize our site...

We will be keeping the same colors as always (aqua, pink, lime with touches of navy) and the site will contain most of the elements that you can find on our blog... but in a much more organized fashion!

Can't wait to share!

Thanks!
Maureen

{Happy Mother's Day} by Kiss Me Kate

I'm a very happy mother to two boys. I'd be an even happier mom on Mother's Day if I was greeted by this beautiful Mother's Day dessert table by Kate of Kiss Me Kate!

If you haven't seen on facebook, we announced that we are collaborating with Kiss Me Kate (a super talented duo from Australia) on some beautiful projects. Stay tuned for more news on that!

For now, I just wanted to share the photos that Kate shared. She is so talented!
She used our Free Printable Mother's Day Collection!
I love how her table turned out... The mums at her celebration were surely happy with the beautiful desserts!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!


Can you say beautiful?!






I love how she trimmed the tag border to make an apothecary jar label....
Simply gorgeous...


Happy Mother's Day to my own mom... and to all of our fans, clients and supporters!
