We've gotten a fantastic turnout to our birthday card design challenge! Thank you to everyone who entered!

Now it's time for our community to vote for our three favorite cards.

Laura from Live Smile Celebrate has come up with a blog series called "25 Things You Don't Know About Me" based on the celebrity series in US Magazine.

She tagged me and four other party gals to write the same post and after doing so, tag some other party friends. What a cool idea! So here are 25 Things You (Probably) Don't Know About Me...

I had the pleasure of talking with Eden Godsoe , founder of SkinnyScoop. When she told me about her "list making" platform and site, I knew she had to share it with our readers. Come on, what woman doesn't love a good list!

How many of you get your best information from your go-to girlfriend or that mom maven who shares her knowledge and recommendations with the rest of us? Well, it just got a lot easier.

I had to share this paper flower backdrop tutorial created by Ellinée because I think it is so beautiful and original. I love the 3D nature of it. How amazing would this look behind a dessert table!

The tutorial comes with the paper flower garland templates and instructions. You just need to download the templates, cut out the flowers, attach the flowers to baker's twine using an embroidery needle, and tie the twine to a pretty branch.

The banner for this new Mother's Day collection says, "Mama's Love." As a mom myself, what could be more everlasting and true.

If you are thinking of throwing a Cinco de Mayo party, take a look at these amazing ideas I pulled together from our site. (Click on the image to see where each photo is from.)

I've been wanting to give away a set of Kentucky Derby printables, and finally I get my chance thanks to Wanessa from Wanessa Carolina Creations who designed this terrifically fun collection! Now on May 5th, you can serve up your mint juleps, put on your fancy hats, and watch "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" in style!

The collection includes: drink wraps, mini party logos (with the names of all the horses), favor tags, patterned paper, invitations, cupcake wrappers, tented cards, and a "138th Derby" banner. Just perfect!!

Thinking of throwing an animal party? Check out these adorable animal cake pops we've seen on our site. The only problem is they're just too cute to eat...

To see the party they're from, click on the photo.

Here's the latest DIY Wanessa from Wanessa Carolina Creations 

came up with and it's incredible! Instead of pom poms or paper lanterns, how about dressing up your party with some of these paper spheres?
