Camp Sunshine Camping Party

July 8, 2014 by louisesanders Leave a Comment

This week I held a holiday camp at our house for 8 kids ranging from 20 months to 5 years old. We called it Camp Sunshine and it was an absolute blast, the kiddies loved it! The week was full of fun art activities and outdoor play but the best part of the camp was the party we threw for them on the Friday – A Camp Sunshine Camping Party. Hopefully the photos will provide lots of ideas and inspiration for your little one’s camping birthday party!

The full printable set for this party is available in our Etsy shop here

We had to have some Bug juice!!

Bugs in a Jar…a little colourful table décor!

Signs stuck to a branch….

How adorable are these campfire cupcakes?!

Taaadaaaaa! The rustic camping cake!…

Complete with a campfire!

What’s a camping party without a little freshly grilled corn?!

The mini trees added the earthy feel to the party, as did the hessian background!

Camping Party Table Decor

Favors on a stick! We wrapped up a single portion of Smore’s for each child to take home.

A rustic tin with some fishing supplies was a big hit!

The trail mix station! Needless to say the M&M’s got finished first!

Sky’s Sunshine and Lemonade 1st Birthday Party

July 1, 2014 by louisesanders Leave a Comment

Our friend’s little one, Sky, turned one last month and we created a Sunshine and Lemonade theme for her in pinks, yellows and a dash of orange. We used a yellow and white polka dot fabric for the background and decorated it with a banner and flower pom poms made with tissue paper. The table was adorned with sweet jars, flowers and the most beautiful frilly pink cake with lemon slices (made with fondant). We used a simple white table cloth and decorated it a pink chevron runner and bright pink bunting on the front.

Enjoy the photos!

The welcome sign!

We decorated paper straws with assorted tags..

What’s a sunshine and lemonade party without a little colored popcorn!

The Cake. Need we say more. Made by the amazing Marlise Ross.

Mini bunting for the cake suspended from yellow paper straws.

Yummy heart-shaped chocolate cake pops.

Cloud puffs! (nougat)

Sunshine drops (candy coated jelly eggs)

The best lollies ever.

Rainbow chews, just for an extra dose of sugar!

The cute party favors – glass jars full of alphabet candy.

Happy Birthday little Sky! We hope you had lots of fun!

Shabby Chic Printable Invite Freebie and Tutorial

May 2, 2014 by louisesanders Leave a Comment

This is such a simple tutorial and we thought we’d share it with you as Shabby Chic invites are one of our most popular items in our Etsy shop ….These are easy to make at home and are a great alternative (or at least we think so) to the traditional rectangular invites.

You’ll Need:
Glue
Scissors
Double-Sided Tape
Paper Straws
Shabby Chic Flags – Download the files here

Instructions:

First, you need to download the printable files (see the link above)
Cut out the printable flags – there are dotted lines to cut around for the fold over flap at the back.
Edit the invitation in Adobe Reader to suit your event details. If you need help with editing the file – you can download and read our useful How-To Guide here.
Cut out the invitation flags (you’ll se these are smaller than the background flags).
Now that you have printed and cut everything out…take the background flags and fold the white flap backwards, apply glue and then attach the paper straw and fold the paper flap around it.
Hold in place for a few seconds until it is secure.
Now cut out 3 tabs of double-sided tape and place those on the underside of the smaller invitation flags, then peel the stickers off and stick the invite in the centre of the larger background flag and press firmly in place.
Voila, there you have your Shabby Chic Invite Flag. Cute huh?!

Free Mother’s Day Printables – Lavender and Cream Scones in a Jar

April 25, 2014 by louisesanders Leave a Comment

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we thought of creating some free Mother’s Day printable tags and labels. And of course we have included a tutorial for Lavender & Cream Scones (with Blueberry Jam) in a jar!! Oh yes, in a jar! The recipe is super easy too! Firstly, the printable tags and labels – you can download those here

Lavender Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups sifted flour
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp margarine or butter
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp lavender heads, coarsely chopped

To decorate:
Blueberry Jam
Whipped Cream
Lavender Flowers

Method:

Mix the dry ingredients together (flour, salt, baking powder)
Add the wet ingredients (margarine/butter and milk)
Put dough onto a lightly floured surface, add the Lavender Heads and knead gently until smooth (don’t knead dough too much or scones will be tough).
Pat dough flat and cut into 6 rounds. If you want to make a bigger batch, simply double all the ingredients in the recipe.
Place scones onto prepared baking tray and sprinkle tops with a little plain flour.
Bake at 240°C for 7-10 minutes (until golden brown).
Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.

Once the scones have cooled, In a medium sized Glass or Mason jar, place one scone in the bottom, top with 1-2 tablespoons of Blueberry Jam and then some whipped cream (I used the bottled whipped cream), add another scone and then more jam and more whipped cream. Top with two lavender flowers, seal the jar and decorate as you wish with the freebie labels .

Enjoy spoiling mom! Have fun

Free Kids Party Planner Printable

April 10, 2014 by louisesanders Leave a Comment

Whenever I plan my kid’s parties, I always land up creating lists and more lists, things to do, things to get, things to remember. So eventually, after planning 5 birthday parties between my two boys, I decided to create a Kids Party Planner Printable that I could print out every time to help me, instead of always starting from scratch. It’s pretty and colourful, but the best thing about it is that I made it for you too! Yes, it’s FREE for you to print and use at home! You can download the party planning printables (7 pages in total) here.

The burger bar went down a treat with all the adults as it is always nice to have something savory at a kids party…to break all the sugar!

There were so many wonderful activities for children of all ages there…like Design Your Racer which all the girls loved! As you can see…

But then for the boys there was something a little more traditional racer style… A Tats for Tots station where all the children could get temporary tattoos…in true biker style!
