Aqua and Mustard Bridal Shower

We were super excited to help our Mom throw a

bridal shower at her house over the weekend.

When throwing a shower it is fun to do it in different colors than

the bride's wedding colors.  That way both events stand out

as separate parties.

{Contact us for any custom invitation creation}

  

 We are going to share real quick the recipe for the

Cheesecake Salad because believe me you will want it.

Plus everyone will ask you for it once you make it.

{created here a little different for the shower, but

sure to be the hit of ANY event you do}

1 large pkg of Jello Cheesecake pudding

1 Cup milk

8 oz whipped topping {in a tub}

1 sleeve of graham crackers 

1-2 T sugar

1/2 cube melted butter

any fruit you want.

Mix pudding with 1 cup milk.

Put in fridge to set.

In large bag smash your graham crackers and combine with butter and sugar.

Set graham cracker crumb topping aside.

When pudding is set up fold in whipped topping,

part of your graham cracker topping and any fruit.

{we prefer blueberries, raspberries and strawberries}

Finish with a small amount of graham cracker topping.

Believe us it is "Just Plane Yummy!

Served here as Cheesecake Shooters for the shower.

 

When you print custom signage you can pull all your colors together.

We used frames we already had,

and we always use our trusty IKEA .99 cent plastic white frames

find them here

Just think you can spray paint them in any color to match your

theme too if you wanted.

Plus we print our 4x6 prints at Costco where they are

only .13 cents!

Wahoo!

 

 Mini Chicken Croissant Sandwiches.

Mini Fruit Pizzas.

Sugar cookies with a cream cheese frosting,

then you embellish with any fruit you want.

The Lazy Susan of fruit and cookies make it fun and easy 

for guests to build their mini pizzas.

We love any excuse to throw a party!

And we couldn't be more excited for Shayla to be getting married.

The beaming bride below.

Don't think party food has to be fancy-schmancy,

just easy to grab, and even fun to make like our

mini fruit pizzas.

People love to make their own anything, the same idea

of having anytime of topping bar at an event.

Just Plane Blissful!

for the her first day.

Not just preschool, but big girl school as a big Kindergartener.

cute chalkboard print to display for their first day?

Here it is.

Why do they grow up so fast?

Wolrd Market Inspired Chair

I have had my eye on this chair from World Market for a long time, but couldn't bring myself to buy it. 

I was thrift shopping and found a chair almost just like it, same material, color and everything. I just knew I could figure out a way to make it just like the one from World Market and cover the buttons for a pop!

 I chose my material and only had to cut them into about 1x1 squares.

 I did not take the buttons off or anything crazy like that, all I did was tuck the material behind the button. If the material wasn't fitting tight then I took scissors and poked around the button to tighten it.

Wha-la All finished!

I get so excited every time I walk past this chair, the buttons just pop and make it so much more fun to look at!

A party fit for a princess

It was a royal affair for our

Princess Elliette,

who turned 5 and celebrated with a

royal bash.

The chalkboard invitation.

Ellie was very involved with the planning and color scheme

for her party.  Pink and purple, her favorite colors.

 Waffle bar.

I poured the syrup into a cute glass milk glass.

Who says the syrup can't be cute too.

Powdered sugar was put into a sprinkles shaker and label pulled off.

 Who doesn't love some kind of food bar?

It is fun to pick all your favorite toppings.

We had a lazy susan with lots of fruit to pick from,

including cheesecake whipped cream.

{1 pkg cheesecake pudding

mixed with one cup of milk, set for an hour.

Then combine with whipped topping}

 Let me say the Nutella, banana, whipped cream and sprinkles combo was perfection.

 Who says popcorn boxed only need to hold popcorn?

 The little princesses loved the heart waffles.

 Refreshing lemonade bar.

 Princess gumball necklaces. 

 An enchanting cake for the princess.

Happy 5th Birthday sweet Elliette!

This little princess celebrated in royal style.

We are loving the ideas of doing any type of food bars for the party.

Easy to serve, and guests love picking their favorite toppings.

I often when planning a party think of a color, or color combo

first before even the theme.

Like right now I am obsessed with the color combo

gold and mint.  Pre-warning may see that pop up some time soon.

4th of July subway art

With 4th of July just around the corner I started bringing all my holiday

decorations up to decorate boldly in red, white and blue,

but I noticed I had a pretty old Subway Art print and thought we needed

to create something to print.

Something a little more festive and updated.

So here you go!

flags waving, fireworks and the kiddos running

around in festive colors.
