Real Parties/ Winner of Paper and Cake printable!

Thanks ladies for posting comments on the Paper and Cake printables. I really love to support companies who are ran by such wonderful ladies such as Abigail and Kira! I can truly say that I really enjoyed each comment on what you would use the printable for.
I can never just pick one winner so Tardevil, April, Amy and Infarrantly Creative are the winners. (Wendy, if you post below what you would use the product on you will win too!!) Please email me your email address so I can give to the lovely ladies at Paper and Cake. They will send you your printable within 24 hours. Thanks again for the comments!!

The first real party is from Angelena - a mommy of four! I LOVE all of her attention to detail. The Ni Hao Kai-Lan themed party was for her daughter Madison (love that name) who turned 3. She made this cake...unbelievable. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!! Can you come to my house and do my daughter's birthday cake???
Love the dipped fortune cookies!

Angelena went to the Asian market to get all of these wonderful and colorful drinks and goodies.

I always say you can turn the ordinary into extraordinary just by adding personal touches and details. You can see more of her pictures here.

C is for Cute that's what me thinks of this creative mom (no less mom of twins under 1) Sesame Street party-by the way I was trying to sound like Cookie Monster I do have better grammar! LOL

I know that Maddy's birthday is 5 months away...but I have been thinking and thinking of what am I going to do???? This is the last year where I get to pick the theme. You know after 3 then they have a very strong opinion of what THEY want! She is not really into any cartoon character in particular but she loves doing art projects and books. I love to pick my theme early so that gives me plenty of time to find items on sale. So I have been looking at every toddler's party that comes my way.

In the Sesame Party April used her Cricut to make the banner....I love my Cricut. If you don't have one - get one!! You can find the personal size one now on sale everywhere! Cute cups ...she was inspired by the cookie monster party she saw on the Hostess of the Mostess.
Here is what she says about her tablescape:
I took one of my large glass cylinders and wrapped it with green paper and then took a glass ball and put up top. Then I created a sign to make it look like the famous Sesame Street lamp post. Also on the food table I made a large A and the number 1 out of Styrofoam and then put googly eyes to make them look like the fun letters on Sesame.
I love the lamp post and letters...so creative!!
The centerpieces I made by using the Cricut again. I then taped the designs on paper plates glued to wooden dowels which were in potted bowls. I then filled the bottom with Cookie Crisps (I don't have a picture of the finished product, but have them without the cookie crisps.)
April, I forget to get finished products pictures all the time as well!! How frustrating!! urgh! But your centerpiece is adorable and very budget friendly!
Gotta love the cupcakes!

I really was thinking about these 2 themes for Maddy but I'm open for suggestions....???? Anyone????

I really want to do Snoopy! I've been buying her Snoopy books ..she's not into it like me!

  5. April,
    You are off to a wonderful start of sharing your creativity with others. With all your other talents (scrapbooking, singing,.....!), you can be a blessing to others...especially mothers like yourself. I am very proud of you!

  6. I love the Sesame Street stuff. The other party is really cute too (but I don't know that character)! I just have always had a soft spot for cookie monster!
