paper and cake: September 2009

Kara, over at Kara's Party Ideas, recently threw a party using our "Poolside" Party collection. Can I just say how impressed I am with her creativity? This party turned out FABULOUSLY!

Here is what she had to say...

I'm finally posting the pool party i did a few weeks ago! I've been so busy lately with a wedding and a couple of parties :).

I printed most of the paper goods via paper and cake...so cute!! Love her stuff!

Here's the invites that were sent out a few weeks before the party {purchased on oriental trading}...

let the fun begin...

havin' fun in the pool...

I covered these adorable tarts {that my sister's best friend made} with whip cream, kiwi's, and a mango syrup. they were so yummy!

I got this unfinished surf board on ebay a few years ago..and painted it...

I made the cupcake toppers out of colorful cut up straws {and paper and cake's adorable printables}...

We covered the cake with brown sugar for 'sand'... I stuck pinwheels on top for an added beach effect :).

the beach ball sippers i found online...

I bought some fun wooden surfboards at Michaels that all the kids painted...

dad is even enjoy painting! :)...

surf rug to dry/drip off on...
