Paint Splattered Balloons

Jazz up some balloons with this idea from Studio DIY.  Literally splatter some paint onto helium-filled balloons.  Perfect for an art party--but do it in gold like she did to add some fun to a shower or birthday party.  Find the full tutorial here.

Easy Christening Banner

At the end of this month, I'll have the honor of being Godmother to my newest nephew Dylan.  I'll be flying in for the occasion.  It's times like this that makes living away from family so difficult.  I wish I could help my sister get everything ready for the Christening party.  So, because I wanted to do SOMETHING... I made a banner for the party.  Something that's easy to carry in my suitcase.

All I used was:
- 8" Doilies
- Powder blue cardstock
- White ribbon
- Double-sided tape
I printed the letters onto the cardstock on my own home printer. I used the font "Adobe Caslon Pro Bold." The cross was clipart I found online.  Each circle measures 5". Cut out each circle and stick to doilies.  I hesitate to use glue on stuff like this because I'm afraid it might crinkle up.

Not too bad, right?

The banner matches the rest of the decor my sister's working on.  She's making powder blue tissue poms that look like little trees as her centerpieces.

Can't wait to see my little Godson! :)

Pink and Plush Dessert Table

If you have a white dresser in your house, pull it out to recreate this stunning and very tempting dessert table.  The pink and white decor is perfect for Mother's Day or a girlie baby shower.  All the desserts are pink and white to match the decor.  The mouth-watering details have been photographed and submitted by Erin Johnson Photography.

Today's Takeaway: Balloon Tassles

These balloon streamers are party heaven to me!  It looks like you just make the fringed tassles and wrap them around the balloon's string.  This is a great idea for an upcoming Cinco De Mayo fiesta! Originally featured as part of a 2nd birthday party, you can see the original post at 100 Layer Cake-let here.

Little Man Baby Shower

Photographer Jessie Emeric co-hosted this adorable Little Man baby shower with her sister, for their good friend. A soft blue, green and white color scheme was used to decorate the event. Even the drinks fit into the color scheme.  I absolutely love the creative food ideas and the "Pin the Moustache on Burt Reynolds" game is genius! Enjoy the details submitted and photographed by The Emerics.
