We're seeing a lot of very cool Monster High parties on our site.

For those of you that don't know, Monster High is a line of dolls by Mattel whose characters are  related to or are the offspring of famous monsters.

With summer approaching, I can't help but think of ice cream, so I was planning to write a post about the incredible ice cream socials on our site. But then I noticed how many treats people make that look like ice cream, but aren't actually ice cream.

I love anything clever and fun, especially when it comes to dessert, so here are my favorite "ice cream" desserts pulled from different parties on our site. (Click on the photo to see the party it's from.)

Yes, Father's Day is just around the corner, so I'm happy to be sharing this fun collection of free Father's Day "mustache" printables designed by Yulia at Sarah Hope Designs.

The collection includes: a welcome sign, cupcake toppers, straw/food flags, mini candy bar wrappers, mini cake bunting, cupcake wrappers, photo booth mustaches, blank tented cards, water bottle wrappers, patterned paper, and a "Happy Father's Day" banner.

Happy Memorial Day!

Here's a craft project Wanessa from WCC Designs created that is so pretty. She made this bird's nest lamp shade using only... paper and glue. Amazing! Here's how she did it..

With Memorial Day coming up, I wanted to give away a set of BBQ printables that would work for this upcoming weekend all your laid back summer parties.

Wanessa from WCC Designs created this great set. I love the mix of patterns and the rough-around-the-edges feel.

I'm excited to announce the three finalists in our Birthday Card Design Challenge... Bird, Ana, and Allison, what beautiful cards you made!

Now your cards will be voted on by the HP community, and the designer with the most votes will receive a new HP Officejet 7500A and have their card displayed (and be available for download) in the HP Newsgram and on the HP Facebook page.

With my daughter graduating from preschool in a few weeks, I've got graduation on the brain, so I had to share these graduation cap cakes Beth from Hungry Happenings made.

Aren't they clever?

For those of you who don't know (and I didn't know until these parties starting popping up on our site), Ninjago is a line of ninja Legos that are very popular with boys 7-14. There's a whole immersive world of minifigures (heroes, creatures, and skeletons) to draw on to put a Ninjago party together! Take a look at these great Ninjago inspirations... (Click on the photo to see the whole party.)

How gorgeous are these paper flower centerpieces Wanessa from Wanessa Carolina Creations created, and how beautiful would these look on a table or mantle.

We'll, thanks to this tutorial Wanessa put together, here's how you can make one, too...
