Jolyn — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 14:12:49 +0000

I’m so excited to finally be able to share the photos from a photoshoot created by Chris at Creations at Home!!

It was fun to collaborate with Chris in designing the printables for this groovy tie dye theme. It’s such a fun theme for a summer time kids party. I hope you enjoy!

I love how Chris used our printable Groovy Fun Placecards as food signs and drink bottle labels…

Thank you so much Chris for the opportunity to partner with you on this fun project!

{Real Wedding} G & J’s Vintage Vegas Wedding

Jolyn — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:11:29 +0000

Although the theme of this spectacular wedding was a vintage vegas theme…the wedding was held in the spectacular Rocky Mountains with a ceremony in Banff and reception at the stunning Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

Guests were greeted to the reception with the following escort cards using our Vegas (0570) Rectangular Labels. Inside the envelopes, each guest received a Blackjack Lotto Ticket.

In the room, custom table names signs featured Las Vegas Hotel names instead of table numbers. We had fun making these custom table names featuring 17 Vegas hotels.

Vegas (0570) Placecards at each setting used a different card face symbol to indicate the guest entree choice.

And to finish off the evening, a candy buffet of red, black and white candies labeled with our Vegas (0570) Tags.

Thanks for sharing your wedding day with us G&J. It was a stunning wedding reception at your beautiful mountain setting. I loved helping you custom create your wedding reception stationery!

{Fun Foods} Krispie Popsicles

Jolyn — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:10:33 +0000

At a recent {Real Party} with a popsicle theme, you saw these delicious krispie treat popsicles. Now, I’ll show you how easy it is for you to make for your popsicle party!

Start with your traditional Krispie treat recipe. As it becomes ready, separate the mix into little mounds on a cookie sheet. With buttered hands, begin shaping the treats into a popsicle shape.

Add in a popsicle stick. ** Hint ** the popsicle sticks I used, ended up being too thin. Use a traditional popsicle stick or even use a tongue depressor stick.

Then melt chocolate wafers. I found it easiest to brush the chocolate onto the krispie treats.

I liked to leave a bit of krispie treat showing at the bottom like a dipped popsicle. I had some extra white chocolate left from another project, so I added a little white curve on the top edge, to give a little dimension to the popsicle pops.

The kids had a great time devouring these treats at their popsicle themed birthday party!

{Real Party} Popsicle & Penguin Bday Party

Jolyn — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:02:00 +0000

I’m delighted to share photos of the Penguin Popsicle party using the Popsicle Frenzy party printables for a girl’s 8th birthday party sleepover!

Aren’t these Chubby Pop bottles the cutest? Our water bottle labels fit perfectly!

As the girls tucked in for the night to watch a movie – they enjoyed popcorn and a mini candy bar for their late night snack.

Of course a penguin party wouldn’t be complete without some penguin treats – these are marshmellow treats! Watch soon for a little tutorial on how to make these!

As part of their favor packages, the girls each received a popsicle made of Krispie treats. Watch for a tutorial soon this fun party snack.

What summer party would be complete without some bubbles for blowing outside. Again, water bottle labels were used to dress up the bottles.

You can find these Popsicle Frenzy printable templates in our online store:
placecards | napkin wrap | 2″ collage label | water bottle label | 2.5″ square label

Love getting to share our printables getting some real party love! Hope you enjoyed it!

{Custom Order} Monkey Business Baby Shower

Jolyn — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:55:31 +0000

I was excited to receive a copy of the final invite for Ashley’s baby shower. We designed a monkey theme that was based on her nursery linens and colors. She chose to have it made on a Staples sized postcard so she could easily send it away for printing…it turned out great!

Now we just have to patiently wait for baby D to arrive!

For baby shower inspiration – get ideas for patterns in linens, a favorite stuffed toy, a picture on the wall in the nursery…you find the inspiration, I’ll make you a wonderful design to suit it!!

Remember, I’m always happy to create a custom design to match a nursery theme – you can order your custom party printables & invitations in our online store!

I really like how this little monkey turned out and may make more party printables in this design – what do you think?
