I love me some Pinterest!

After finally hunkering down and adding some photos, I decided I would start a new feature! Every Tuesday I'll showcase a  new Pinterest board that I hope will give loads of party inspiration.

 Here are some beautiful inspiration photos for a vintage carnival party!

You can also follow me on Pinterest to view my other boards!

 

{MG Party Impressions} Little Drummer Boy Party

Who doesn't love hot cocoa and drums.....???? Well, maybe not the drums but head on over to MG Party Impressions to see the Little Drummer Boy themed party I designed for a little boy's play date!!!!

 

{MG Party Impressions} Fun Cars Themed Party

I am over at MG Party Impressions today! We threw a fun Cars Themed Party for my little grand-baby - well, not sooo little. He turned 3!!! He loves Mater and the Disney movie, Cars. So, I had fun designing a race car inspired collection for the party. Check out my post for more details!

{MG Party Impressions} Bus Stop Breakfast Bar

I'm excited to announce that I will be the new Party Planner Blogger over at MG Party Impressions! MG Party Impressions is the party inspiration site that showcases clip art and digital papers by designers of the My Grafico Digital Arts and Crafts store.  I'll be doing a party related post twice a month using all the fun and creative designs by the talented team of My Grafico Designers.

For my first post, I styled a Bus Stop Breakfast Bar for a Back-to-School celebration and you can read all about it over at the MG Party Impressions blog and you can read more about it here.

{Party People} Carnival Party Collaboration

So I know I've been MIA for a few days, but I've got big and exciting things going on - which I will share with you later in the week......first thing's first, the winner of my Edible Cupcake Wrapper - and the lone entrant is - (drum roll please) the FABULOUS MONIQUE from Enchanted Expectations! I heart Monique, she's one of the first blog friends I made and she's very creative (and the reason why I spend endless hours in Home Goods). Check out her blog and to view all her fancy parties!

On to other business! I recently teamed up with fellow members from the Martha Stewart's Dreamers Into Doers, Party People group for a Carnival party styled by Amy Croushorn of Make it Mine Parties (hearts it). This party was a fabulous collaboration of super talented party gals, including, Jutta of The Lucky Elephant, Pia of Cake Pop Fusion, Kristal & Jen of Atutudes and myself. Each of us lent our talents and crafts to help make, what I think, is an absolutely adorable party!

I provided Amy with a festive yarn pom-pom garland similar to the one I made for my daughter's Bubble Gum Birthday Bash! The garland was used as decoration for her photo backdrop - look how cute it turned out!

This fancy tutu was created by Kristal & Jen of Atutudes and is absolutely adorable!

A 'charming' bracelet from The Lucky Elephant!

How fun are the clown cake pops from Pia of Cake Pop Fusion?!!!
