Real Party: Giraffe Baby Shower
March 24th, 2010 by Carrie Sellman | 12 Comments

Today’s real party is an adorable Giraffe Baby Shower.  I spotted this shower over at the Dimple Prints Blog and instantly fell in love with the modern grey and orange color scheme.  Carli, a talented designer, mother of two and owner of Dimple Prints, creates customized invitations, party packages and printables.  This shower, hosted by one of her customers, is just too charming.  Take a look…

This shower, inspired by a polka dotted giraffe onesie, is an elegant twist on polka dots and stripes.  The invitations, favors and cupcake toppers work so perfectly with the theme.  And I just LOVE that diaper cake!

A special thanks to Carli over at Dimple Prints for creating such delightful products and for all of the great party inspiration!    Be sure to check out the Dimple Prints Etsy Store and Blog.

Fab Find: Cupcake Liner Garland
March 8th, 2010 by Carrie Sellman | 3 Comments

I was instantly a fan when I spotted these adorable garlands made of cupcake liners on 100 Layer Cake, a fabulous blog full of gorgeous wedding inspiration.  Really, I love just about anything related to cakes or cupcakes.  And this is such a clever use of cupcake wrappers… I want to throw a party just so I have an excuse to make these!
