Party Feature - Red & Turquoise Elmo Party

Today's Party Feature is brought to you by Tiffany with Cupcake Dream!

 We're keeping with the red + blue theme this week on the blog and this turquoise and red Elmo party is nothing short of amazing! Elmo parties are dear to my heart as I threw one for my daughter this past Spring. I'm loving this non-traditional color scheme and DIY details from the tissue poms to the cake pops. Just looking at these bright and cheery photos put a smile on my face and I'm sure you'll feel the same....simply gorgeous!

The crayons displayed around the bottom of the cookie platter are too cute! Fabulous job, Tiffany! You and your hubby ROCKED those cake pops :)

My name is Krystal Dawson, I am truly humbled that Nancy has asked me to be her giveaway coordinator. I look forward to finding some amazing items to help you throw an incredible party!  I’m a stay at home mom, to two precious girls and I’m married to the love of my life.  We have moved around a lot as my husband is a pilot in the Navy. But I love it, as it’s given me the opportunity to meet people all around the U.S. To say that I’m obsessed with parties is an understatement. I love looking for party inspiration, tips, and recipes daily.  I can’t wait to start working on the first giveaway.  You can also check out my site where I sell easy to prepare food to spend less time in the kitchen!...www.tastefullysimple.com/web/kdawson

Here's a little about her:

I currently live in Nashville, TN with my husband of 4 years Matt.  He is completing his fellowship in Nephrology at Vanderbilt University and we are now figuring out where to move to next to stay for awhile.  I recently started my own Cake Pop business, www.kerisweetlife.com and it is going all very well.  I love baking, crafting, reading, running, shopping, and hanging out with friends.  I am getting ready to run my first 1/2 marathon in Nashville in a little less than 2 weeks so I am currently gearing up for that in between everything else. We have 2 dogs (our children for now) a lhasa apso named Harley and a boston terrier named Bella.  I am very excited for this opportunity for me and my business!

Welcome girls! I am so happy and thankful to have you! 

What do you think?  Aren't they lovely?
