One of my favorite things about celebrating the 4th of July each year with my family growing up was sparklers. They are fun, festive and certainly patriotic.

Dress up your patriotic celebration this coming weekend with these FREE sparkler tags. 

Simply print, trim, punch two holes at either end, and thread sparklers through both ends.

Enjoy!

This beach theme is one of my all-time favorites!! And who can resist falling in love with these adorable twins!

Some details to look for include: 
-Beach ball cake balls 
-Flip flop cookies 
-Beach inspired table scape and clever food labels 
-Main dessert table featuring inflatable surf boards, balls and colorful fish netting

Main Dessert Table 
The main focal point of the party’s décor was the dessert table which highlighted a surf inspired smash cake for both of the twins, beach ball cake balls sitting in brown sugar to resemble sand, hand piped flip flop cookies, and fun beach props.

Party Activities 
Guests at the party splashed in a variety of pools, slid down the giant inflatable water slide and built sandcastles in the sand brought into the yard specifically for the occasion.

Party Favors 
“Splish, Splash, I had a Blast”. Colorful sand buckets filled with beach essentials were set out for guests as they departed; beach balls, sand toys and sunglasses.

Stay tuned for more fun patriotic DIY projects and freebies in the next few weeks.

Summer is HERE! 

And, what better way to cool yourself or your guests off than with delicious ice cream.

Add a bit of personality to your ice cream service with decorated cream cones. Use our FREE cone wrapper template to create one-of-a-kind decorations at your next backyard picnic, pool party or birthday bash.

We recently created watermelon themed ice cream cones for our dessert bar for Madeleine's Sweet Seventh pool party. 

Simply trace our template onto patterned card stock, trim and wrap cones of any shape and size. Secure with tape, monogrammed stickers or simple dot stickers.

Enjoy!

Summers in Texas are HOT, HOT, HOT!!

One of my favorite party decor items this summer is the paper fan. Not only are the simple to make, but they are both cute and practical. Both adults and kiddos love to wave them around!

Recently, we have used them at our Sweet Watermelon Birthday Party and our Patriotic Picnic, but using our FREE paper fan template, you can create fans to match any decor.

To create your own party fans, you will need:

• Our FREE party fan template
• Popsicle sticks (my favorites are the self-adhesive kind offered at retailers like Michael's Crafts)
• Card stock (65-100 lb weight will offer the best results)

Simply print out our template, trace onto your chosen paper, cut out your fan template and attach Popsicle sticks. It's that easy! Hint- they can also double as a floral centerpiece (as shown at our watermelon party).

Enjoy!
