PRINTABLES/INVITATIONS/CARDS

I love the simplicity of this paper ball ornament created by Sarah Nielsen from Book Bound Bindery. This year I'm planning to make a lot of our own ornaments, so I'm definitely going to try out this tutorial. Isn't it pretty?

All you need:

I'm so into hot cocoa bars this year because they're warm, tasty, inexpensive, and best of all... unexpected. Stealing from the traditional ice cream bar idea, a hot cocoa bar is where you set out cups of hot cocoa (or a carafe) and a selection of toppings and let your guests go to town.

For kids, I recommend putting out a variety of candy toppings (flavored marshmallows, crushed peppermint, M&Ms, etc.), and for adults, you can kick it up a notch by putting out some delicious liqueurs. Take a look at some of these fantastic ideas we've seen.

Whenever I get crafty, I feel like a kid! So yesterday, I had a great day making homemade ornaments for our tree using my handy HP Printer (go here for our current HP printer giveaway) and some free downloads from the HP Creative Studio.

Take a look at what I made... (For the downloads, click on the photos.)

We have a great update from Ana to her "little children" Christmas printable collections (in English or Spanish) - they now inlclude gift tags! Happy wrapping!

It's not even Christmas and I'm already giving away these stunning "striped" New Year's printables designed by Holly from Mimi’s Dollhouse. What's great about this set is they can work for a New Year's Eve party or a New Year's Day party, and how fun are the New Year's resolution cards you can pass out to your guests.

The collection includes a whole slew of items: party circles (2" and 4"), a "Happy New Year" banner, cupcake wrappers, favor tags, fill in invitation, menu card, New Year's resolution cards (my favorite!), straw flags, tented cards, and wine/champagne bottle labels.
