Cupcakes and punch, a perfect menu for a kids party, or any celebration for that matter! Today, we carry forward with our CHA creation series, Project Snapshot - a presentation of design team projects from the Crate booth. Something you might find on one or our tables is this "pretty party" set-up from Tara Anderson...
Sadly, the confette didn't make it to the show, but we love it none the less! Now, how about a "Pretty Party" collection kit GIVEAWAY - feeling up to it? Tell us about a party you recently attended and what you enjoyed most about it. Maybe the frosted cupcakes caught your fancy, or you fell in love with the decor, note it, and find out the winner this Thursday, February 2nd! Good Luck!!!
These are so amazing!! :) The last party I went to was my daughter's birthday party, lol...six 12 year old girls acting CRAZY, but it was still a good time!

I haven't been to a party in ages! This line is so cute, it makes me want to throw one with the cutest decor! I love the confetti and the sparkly strawberry in the photos! Cute!

We went to a baptism celebration/party a few weeks ago. Beautiful invitation, and great food, my favorite was a spinach salad with bacon, hard boiled eggs, vinaigrette, just yummy (and I'm not usually a vegetable person....but bacon makes everything good)!

The last formal party I attended was on New Years Eve. I loved the decor that my friend had set up, it was so festive!

I just love this new collection! My favorite thing about the last party I attended was spending quality time talking and laughing with my family...creating memories (that I'm sure I'll scrapbook soon!)

The last party I attended was a girls' craft day at a friend's house for Christmas. The best part was the favor at our place setting which was a little pink bottle brush tree inside a salt shaker with some mica flakes sprinkled around the tree as "snow".

My daughter's 4th birthday was the last party I attended - and the rainbow cake (on the inside!) I made her was a huge hit - especially with her!

Last party was a retirement party. Not much in the way of decorations, but they had great food and beverages... and I made a scrappy going away present that was fun!

My daughters' 2nd and 6th birthday party (their date are within 2 weeks of each other)! It was so fun and I think my favorite part was the "photo booth" I made to take pictures of them with each of their guests...so fun! This is my favorite line EVER!

The last party I went to was a Sweet Sixteen that I threw for my sister-in-law. It was also her Golden Birthday (she turned 16 on the 16th). She chose chocolate as her theme and everything was decorated in gold :). Thanks for the chance!

It has been all 5 year old Mario Birthday parties around here. Not quite as "pretty" but we did make lovely sparkly Princess Peach Crowns for the girls and a fun Mario Galaxy planet cake complete with characters from the game.

my daughter's 5th birthday party was themed "Pixies and Pirates" and she dressed up like tinkerbell and the girls in fairy outfits and boys in pirate hats and eye patches. So cute!

WE actually just had a party two weekends ago!! We went to St.Louis for the Blues/Penguins Hockey game!! We took a group of friends and I decorated the Hockey Suite!! It was a BLAST~~the game went into overtime and they had to do a shoot out!! The Penguins won by 1. It couldn't have been a better game and it was a FUN PARTY!! Watching the AWESOME game with our good friends and being in the Suite at Center Ice along with the good game food and beverages was my FAVORITE part!! =)

We like to party over here! We had one just for the girls two weeks ago. Chocolate cake, crack salsa, and Miss Anerica made for a pretty party indeed :)
