A Crafty Soiree #140 with a Parties Made Simple: Lady Bug ebook Giveaway with Freebie

Hi Friends!  We have another giveaway from Life-n-Reflection and this time they're offering a copy of their Parties Made Simple: Lady Bug, a $20 value.  Plus we have an awesome printable freebie for you all to enjoy!

Parties Made Simple: Lady Bug includes EVERYTHING you need to throw a beautifully coordinated party from the planning stage, invitations, and guest activities to decorations, party favor ideas, and even thank you notes.  I really appreciated how absolutely everything was thought out for you.  Inside the ebook, you will find helpful forms including a supply list check off, planning sheet, guest list fill in form, budget sheets, and even a party photo list.  There are lots of planning forms!

Everything comes with the cute lady bug and flower designs on it.  Even your planner binder will even be cute!  I love all the printables that carry the theme throughout the party.  There are stickers and tags, cupcake wraps (preview shown above), mini flags perfect for drink straws, door sign, and banner.  Along with guest activity ideas and party favors suggestions are more printables to help you with assembly - very helpful!  The colors are just perfect for all your spring and summer celebrations including patriotic get togethers.

We have a cute coordinating FREEBIE for you all to enjoy!  Click here to download these Parties Made Simple: Lady Bug Party Bag Toppers, courtesy of Life-n-Reflection.

Now that you've entered for a chance to win, let's move onto this week's features!  You are all amazingly talented!  It's so hard to pick just five.  Can't wait to see what you've been up to this week.  Enjoy the sunshine!

How to Make Labels in Microsoft Word from A Typical English Home - now you can make exactly what you need for your personalized needs!

Another project for the computer savvy is this amazing Family Tree Art from Cutesy Crafts.  Jessica provides a tutorial in her post.  Wouldn't this make an awesome Mother's Day gift?

Put a spin on the traditional Mother's Day corsage and consider presenting her with one of these Old T Shirt Rosebud Bracelets!  This project from 3 Peppers Recipes, reminds me the kind of corsage you wear on your wrist.  It's also a really fun way to upcycle and craft green!

Another crafter finding new uses for things is Linda at lindapendante dreams.  I can't believe that she took and old CD holder and turned into the perfect holder for her circular knitting needles!  Love how she's a piece of art that's also very functional!

My last pick is one for the kids, Vicky at Mess for Less shows us how to turn coffee filters and scraps of tissue paper into coffee filter flowers.  Creating a bouquet of these colorful blooms would make a great Mother's Day project for the kids!
