{notions and notes} cinco de mayo

I am a little late to get on the Cinco de Mayo train, but I wanted to do a quick MEGA post of all things that put me in a "fiesta" mood!

Printables



These muy caliente printables are by Kim @ TomKat Studio.

The FREE collection includes cupcake toppers/tags and invitations. Love the bright colors!




I just discovered Annika's blog: Cakes Likes a Party. Instant love!

She made a Cinco de Mayo FREE & Awesome ;) printable banner to share. Thanks!



How About Orange's compliment bunting came up in my Facebook feed a month ago, and I have been looking for the perfect occassion to share it!

This would be so fun to put up in one of your co-worker's cubicle to brighten their day.




Definitely one of my go-to sites for printables: Catch My Party! 

This collection by Brady @ 9 to 5 Mom includes: a 5×7 invitation, party circles, drink flags, water/beer bottle labels, and a “Cinco de Mayo” banner. Essentially everything you'll need to throw one great fiesta!


Crafts & Tutorials



These mini pinatas by @ One Charming Party have been the Cinco de Mayo crush of blogland!

What a perfect craft to do with your kids (or a festive party favor) to celebrate the 5th of May.




Chelsea @ Lovely Indeed shared this DIY Papel Picado tutorial @ The Sweetest Occassion.

This is perfect if you want your "Mexican Bunting" to say just the right words or have the perfect design.

I'm thinking some chevron details?!?




This would work great for a fiesta & a luau!

The Paper Parasol Topiary tutorial is by Craft Stylish and was found via the Hostess with the Mostess' daily blog.




What's a cake without mini-bunting?

The tutorial by Jenna @ EatDrinkPretty featured on A Subtle Revelry (recent blog crush...) that shows you how to do it "Cinco de Mayo" style.



Food & Parties



Cinco de Maia!

A 1st birthday south-of-the-border style!

Kelly @ WH Hostess created this festive party and it was Kara's Party Ideas winning feature. Congrats & gracias for sharing the party!!!




The Sweet Adventures of SugarBelle never disappoints!

The chips & guacamole are actually cookies & icing! How fun! These would also be perfect as a sweet trick on April Fool's Day. Visit her site for the complete tutorial.



Don't fret! This smore station is just one of the drool-worthy images from the Mexico Inspired Wedding Shoot featured on Style Me Pretty.

The style & inspiration behind the shoot is classic Mexican with vintage & rustic touches.

So beautiful....

I hope I haven't put you into inspiration overload!
I am on my way now to make "Churro" cupcakes, wish me luck!

Enjoy!

{FREEday} teacher appreciation - part 1

Teacher Appreciation Week is next week! Are you ready?!?

I don't have any children, but I do have friends that are teachers and would they love to feel appreciated!

This week will be devoted to teachers. I have freebies and parties that I am excited to share with y'all:


These adorable printables were made for Back to School but they would work perfectly for Teacher Appreciation Week! Bird's Party has the goods!

In case you didn't catch it, these printables were used in a stunning Back2School party that I featured a few months back.



I am beginning to fall in love with the girls from eighteen25. I find endless amounts of inspiration on their blog!

Well, these talented ladies made this printable last fall and again this could be used for an easy teacher's gift!



An oldie but definitely a goodie! These Thank You Cards are from Kim @ TomKat Studio. Print & tie together with a ribbon for a quick gift.




Pam @ Keeping Life Creative featured these cutie-patootie book plates over at Tatertots and Jello. These would be great to give to a teacher to put in all the books that they have stocked in their classroom library.

Enjoy!

{FREEday} it's beginning to look a lot like easter....

Erin @ Crafts & Sutch has made a printable to lift your spirits! Also available in aqua.



Jillian @ Catch My Party featured these oh-so-cute Easter printables by Karen & Allison @ Peace Love Cupcakes. Don't they just scream darling?!? I'm a sucker for polka dots....




This subway art makes me happy! Wee Share has a great round up of FREE Easter printable subwart art on her site, and it is definitely worth a look ...or even two ;)




The ladies @ Anders Ruff never fail to create such amazing printables. Their full Easter set is 50% off (Now $10) until April 15th.

They have so graciously shared this free printable to add some holiday pizazz to your Hershey Kisses.

Staying with a taste of chocolate, these toppers are darling!

I love how Beth @ It is What It Is used them to make flowers in pots, ingenious!!!

Enjoy!

{FREE}day

Here's to the weekly round up of FREEbies that I am crushing on right now!

Smore's Bar Printables

I would've loved to have a smore's bar at the Pumpkin Carving party last week, but an apartment building with no fire pit ruled out that idea---Doesn't mean you can't enjoy these now! These were used in the summertime, but I always think of smores in the fall sitting around a warm, cozy fire! I found these great printables from Michelle of So Wonderful, So Marvelous.

Halloween Mini Card

I think these are just adorable mini cards--especially for little "happies" for your friends! These are created by Babalisme and you can download them here!

****As a note, a lot of the printables featured are often posted on scribd. You have to have a FREE account to download from them. So, go ahead and sign up! All the wonderful FREE things out there are waiting!!!

Paper Cupcake Stand

I am dying to try these! I had seen them for sale somewhere around on the worldwide web, and knew that if I put my mind to it I could make them myself. Well, Bird Crafts has done it for me! Click HERE for the printout & visit Bird Crafts for great step-by-step instructions!

I hope that everyone finds great uses for these FREEbies!
