Super Bowl Party Free Printables {Patriots vs Giants}

Amy — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:00:54 +0000

We’re excited about the Super Bowl and can’t wait to cheer for the Patriots!!

I made some free printables to use during the big game and thought I would share. I even made a few printables for Giant fans.

All designs are simple and easy to print at the last minute! My favorites are the team flags you can use on wine stems, beer bottles, straws and more.

Here is the entire printable party collection at a glance and it’s all FREE.

Looking for a fun party idea that would work for any celebration? You have to see this cute Gumball Party by Kara’s Party Ideas!

The gumball machine in the center of the dessert table is a cake! How awesome is that?

I also love love love these gumball machines that Kara made out of terracotta flower pots! Yes, look closely and you’ll see the red bottom is an upside down pot with a glass container on top. Super cute.

Love Crush Valentines Day Party {Free Printables}

Amy — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:15:58 +0000

Do you love Valentine’s Day? I do!! Red is one of my most favorite colors and my girls love “Crush” soda. As I was walking around the craft store, I came across cute little bottles of crush soda with candy inside. My mind was immediately rolling with cute ideas for a kids Valentine’s day party! The “Love Crush” theme was on my schedule stat!

For a party such as this, I like to borrow things from friends and neighbors. I also shop at garage sales and Goodwill. I made the hearts garland hanging on the desserts table and the red table runner is from my etsy store.

There are so many great details to this party. Have fun browsing through the photos and be sure to visit the great vendors who contributed to the sweetness!

Custom made “love crush” marshmallows on a stick were my favorite! Thank you to The Marshmallow Studio for these beautiful creations!

I made a ribbon garland as the backdrop to hang behind the kissing booth….LOVE it!

A big thanks to Summerlyn from MemoriesToo for providing this great free printable!

A special THANK YOU to all of the wonderful vendors!

This party is a team effort and I could never take all the credit for it! Happy Valentine’s Day!
