~ Macarons are notoriously difficult to make, but to make them in shape of HK?!! Now that's impressive! I can sense the new bakerella of macarons emerging!
~ The Hello Kitty French Macaroons are so adorable and girly and I have to admit I love them myself and would definitely want to try them.

Party Tutorial Contest #2: Third Place
What a way to celebrate my one year blogging anniversary! I had so much fun hosting this contest and checking out everyone's party tutorials. Much thanks to our fabulous sponsors, Bird of Bird's Party, Ana over at Love Party Printables, and Lindi from Love the Day, who by the way, will be the judges for the next contest (date to be determined).
Speaking of prizes, the $50 gift certificate to Love the Day goes to Nicole from Tradewind Tiaras for her Fabric Party Hats tutorial.
The judges had these wonderful things to say about her tutorial:
~ Delightful photos that show the finished product beautifully. Lovely choice of colors for the tutorial making it easier to see and follow photo-to-photo. Good "short cut" of using the pre-pleated ribbon. Certainly a multi-step project, from the creation of the hat to the trim to the tulle pom on top, showing how artistic and skilled she is (even pleating her own ribbon!). Nice to provide a template link in the tutorial to help readers. Also fun to see the finished product on a child.
~ How often is there a party with party hats and they end up destroyed but these are beautiful and the fabric would make them sturdy enough to withstand the liveliest of parties.
For me, a beautifully styled party is even more attractive when there are DIY elements. This was definitely the case with Nicole's Butterfly Party. Not only does she share all of the details and sources from the party, Nicole also shows you how to make the fabric party hats, ruffled pinata and homemade candy buttons, step-by-step.
Congratulations again, to all of the winners -- Julie from So This is Julie, Heather of Did Someone Say Party, and Nicole of Tradewind Tiaras. And thanks to everyone who joined the party and linked up!

Party Tutorial Contest #2: Second Place
Our judges had these flattering words to say about the crafter and tutorial that took second place in the Party Tutorial Contest:
~ A true "crafter" here, very apparent by her knowledge of scrapbooking supplies. Loved her honesty and candid nature about not refilling/threading her bobbin, and the fact that she showed the finished product with treats inside was terrific--full follow-through beginning to end. I enjoyed how she used a common household item (brown paper bag) and created her own stamp with a very current trend of "subway art". The stitching added a wonderful artistic handmade feel to it, showing the thoughtfulness of her treat bags. Also, she writes from the heart, a very fun blog to read, a genuine style many people can relate to.
~ Simple, unique and eco-friendly! I love it and will be making some soon!!!
I am so happy to announce that Heather of Did Someone Say Party is the winner of the custom designed party pack from Love Party Printables. Her Subway Art Treat Bags tutorial was one of my favorites too. Heather's creativity and originality is undeniable. Just check out some of her other tutorials and recipes on Did Someone Say Party, a blog that she shares with fellow crafter, Gretchen.
I'll be back tomorrow with the final contest post. See who's getting a $50 shopping spree at Love the Day.

Party Tutorial Contest #2: First Place
I'm thrilled to announce that the winners of the second Party Tutorial Contest have been selected! What an honor it was to have Kate of Kate Landers Events, Lacey from Le Box Boutique, Paula of Frog Prince Paperie, and Candace of Candy and Cake as our guest judges. Thank you so much ladies for being a part of my one year blogging celebration. The entries were judged on creativity and how easy they were to follow. And the top prize goes to...
Julie over at So This is Julie for her Crepe Paper Flowers tutorial!
Here is what some of the judges had to say about her tutorial and why it chosen as the winner.
~ Vibrant colors were EXCELLENT for the tutorial. She immediately drew me in with the two-tone fringed crepe paper flowers. I also appreciated all the images of the supplies, and being honest about how it can be tricky at first. She shared inside-tips on making it easier by not using the frige scissors, as well as where to cut top-to-bottom to decrease chances of there being rips (shows for a good teacher). She also showed that you can hang on a garland, or put on bamboo skewers (more than one use for the finished product) which can then tie the theme across many decorative elements--this stood out to me the most in terms of creativity. All required supplies were inexpensive or likely something you had at home already, making it more accessible to a wider group. And how great that this decoration/project can be used for parties (not limited to birthdays) and celebrations of all sorts, and even used as home decorations after an event.
~ I like the simplicity of the materials and how do-able this tutorial is for the average person; that and the impact it makes in a party's decor make it a winner!
Julie wins a $50 gift certificate to Bird's Party, plus 3 months of sidebar ad space on her blog. Congratulations! Be sure to check back tomorrow to find out who won the custom designed party pack from Love Party Printables valued at $80. Ohhh...the suspense.

Party Tutorial Contest #2
A year ago, I had an aha moment. I realized that I had spent most of my thirties focusing on the kids and being a mom. I think Dawn of Not Just A Mommy sums it up perfectly when she says, "it can't be just about the kids". That same week, I signed up for a photography class, hit the gym for the first time in ten years, and started this blog.
My official one year blogging anniversary isn't until June 13th, but I couldn't resist the urge to start the celebration a little early. What a better way to get the party started than with another Party Tutorial Contest.
Lacey, Paula, and Candace were the sponsors from the first contest, but I wanted to keep the name of the fourth judge under wraps until now...
Again, the judges will be looking for party tutorials that are creative and easy to follow.
Since the contest will be opened to everyone this time, our sponspors are offering digital prizes totaling over $200.
Bird is giving the lucky winner a $50 gift certificate to her shop, plus 3 months of sidebar ad space -- a total value of $80. Have your 125px x 125px button seen by 50,000 unique visitors each month!
