Cupcake Toppers: By the hundreds....

I've been making a TON of cupcake toppers lately! I finally pulled some photos off my camera today, and thought I'd share some of my latest with you!

This first set, I just love! These were custom designed for a baby shower! It was Jen's idea to use the due date on one of the designs....and I love it! The colors are so fun, I hope she shares some shower photos!

This set is from my Sweet Cupcakes Collection, but with customized colors! Love the Tiffany blue, pink & brown together! Also, how cute is the name Harlow?
I just completed my largest cupcake topper request today! (100) These were custom designed with fun, bright colors and a cupcake logo provided by the customer! Sounds like little miss Pia is having quite a party!

Now....where are the yummy cupcakes to go along with these? I need a midnight snack!

Crafty Diva: Yo Gabba Gabba Birthday Party!

My friend, Thuy recently hosted this fabulous 1st birthday party for her son, Parker! Though I am not big on character parties (or clothing for that matter! ;), she really shows that it can be done in a classy, creative fashion!

Thuy is one of the craftiest girls I know! She is the one who made Kate's fab memo board, along with all sorts of other handmade items whenever anyone has a birthday or baby shower! Thuy also came to the rescue when my Etsy orders went crazy last month and assembled 100+ lollipop invitations for me! She's thinking about launching her own Etsy shop now, and I can wait to see what she offers!
She really did an amazing job with all of the details for Parker's party! Of course, my favorite was the decorated cupcake stand, and I have to claim that I inspired that one! (See HERE) The actual cupcakes were so perfectly decorated as the characters from the show. (Kate really enjoyed them....see above!) Thuy also decorated bags for each party guest, and inside was a custom made t-shirt/tank with a Yo Gabba Gabba character ironed on. (I wish I had a picture to show you!) She knew I wouldn't be too excited for a huge Foofa on Kate, so she put a little one on the ruffled neckline of a tank and it's super cute! On the first collage, I made the gift card with Muno & "Parker" and attached it to his gift bag!
She made a really cute Muno cake for the birthday boy to dive into! Although we left before the "Pin the Eyeball on Muno", what a cute idea! Right? For the invitations, she used 12 photos, one from each month of the birthday boy's first year!
These fabulous photos were taken by her sister, my friend, Tina with Live.Love. Photography. Tina also took pictures at Tommy's beach party this weekend....and I am anxiously waiting to see how they turned out!

Where in the World Am I?


I'm on vacation! We just returned from a "staycation" at a local resort with a fabulous water park! It was a quick few days, but much needed!

I miss the blogging world....but I vowed to "unplug" until Monday. I had to take a little peek at my blog reader...but only let myself indulge in the fun for 30 minutes. (okay, an hour....) But I am no where near caught up with all the blogs I follow.

I've been crafting today for Tommy's Birthday Party, which is Saturday. Another reason I needed to "unplug"....poor guy wouldn't have any party decorations if mommy didn't shut off the other mommies who need party stuff! ;) Gotta keep the priorities straight! (not that I don't love my customers!)

Be back Monday (if I can resist until then), with T's party and more!
Do you miss me?

Miss you,
XOXO,
Kim

Sweet Customers: Josie's Sweet 1st Birthday Party!

My favorite part of creating party supplies and running my shop, is meeting other crazy, detail-oriented, party-obsessed mommies! This customer, Kara is one of my favorites! She was so excited about all of the details of her daughter, Josie's 1st birthday party and shared lots of great ideas with me. She is the customer who sent me the link to Navy Sou's post about her daughter's amazing sweet party! She had her bakery duplicate the cake from the post, and we updated the colors on my "Oh Lollipop" inviations to match the bright colors of the cake!

Kara was kind enough to send me these photos from the party! She did such a fabulous job on all of the party details! I love the bright gerbera daisies arrangements with lollipops! She found bright colored lanterns, which are so festive hanging outside! (a tip that I just read: if you can't find the right colors, buy white lanterns, dilute food coloring and paint it on!) Kara purchased Josie's custom made lollipop outfit from Liliputians NYC! So adorable!

Thank you for sharing, Kara and fabulous job on the party!

PS. Thanks for your patience on the custom frames! I will get them done soon!
