{TARGET FINDS} My chick & their chick!

     

Yup that's right!!!! Target + me sitting in a tree . . . k-i-s-s-i-n-g  . . oh wait I mean . . . d-e-s-i-g-n-i-n-g away! Oh wait - that's just IN MY DREAMS!!!  

Did you realllllllly think I got to design this collection to match their new items in their Dollar Spot section? I WISH!!!! One can dream right! {sigh} Seriously though, if anyone knows how to make that happen, I'll be your best friend!!! ;)

Easter is coming soon & I was on my "weekly" shopping trip to Target yesterday with my daughter in tow & we are perusing the Dollar Spot section because we all loooooove a good dollar find right? Well you can imagine my AMAZEMENT when I happened upon these little treasures!




Cute huh? Adorable huh? And look at how well they match my "Lil Chick" EASTER collection that I have available in my Esty shop? This "lil chick" line is by far my most popular line that I designed 2 years ago & it now has an Easter birthday line as well as some others. It's ONE of my FAVS. So how cool is that? 

Target + Eye Candy Event Details' "Lil Chick" collection = one easy Easter party!


If you would like to check out this entire collection, you can read about it here.

{HAPPY BIRTHDAY} melissa + NEW collection

hey y'all.
I need to let you in on a little secret - sssshhhhh! 
Tomorrow is Melissa's birthday from the TEAM. Can you do me a favor & go to her page over at Melissa Newell, Party Stylist and Planner and wish her a BIG old HAPPY BIRTHDAY!? Pleasssssssssse! ;)



why do you ask are we doing this today & not tomorrow? Well Melissa's FB page will be going away tomorrow as she is streamlining her life & simplifying just a bit so we want to give her something to remember from all of her fans, before that happens, so what do you say? Let's flood her page with birthday wishes!

But what is that you say? . . . you LOVE her posts on here? No worries, she WILL remain part of the team & she IS keeping her own blog, so make sure you stay in touch with her there & here. She will still be here giving us all her AMAZING party tips so that will NOT change! YAY!

So PLEASE go on over to her page today & wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY - she will LOVE it! (btw - she has noooooo idea I am doing this so she will probably get me for this! lol)

AND one more thing . . . the CUTE little graphic you see at the top of this post, well it's part of a NEW collection coming soon. The Barnyard collection - it's definitely going to be one of my favs!

Thanks for the favor you all . . . you're the BESTEST! xoxo

Eye Candy Event Details is currently seeking (a few) regular blog contributors. We are looking for DIYers, event planners, crafters, stylists, foodies & more who share our LOVE for parties & events! I am going to start having MORE regular weekly/ monthly features on certain days & am looking to fit someone in who has a LOVE for some of these topics. Do you LOVE doing craft projects? A fab DIY? What about talking about weddings? Maybe you love a good recipe? Are you a stylist who creates amazing party displays?

I would LOVE to find people for the following areas:
~ contributors who love to craft & do fab DIY projects & show it to everyone when they are done!
~ contributors who love weddings! Talking about weddings. Looking at weddings & all the details involved, inspiration boards & more!
~contributors who are stylists but do NOT have their own printable line & LOVE sharing party tips
~ contributors that LOVE making desserts.

**I realize that the above descriptions are kind of vague. I did that on purpose as I want to know & get a feel for what the person who emails me sees themselves doing in these (flexible) positions on the blog. These positions have the potential to be what you would like them to be on here. If you have a little experience or a lot and you want to email me, please do! I will be choosing at least 1 person for each but I could always change my mind & add more. ;)

Here's a few more details to consider:

Compensation will not be in the form of money but you do get compensated for your posts & I have all of that info for you, should you get chosen. It does include having your blog/ website name on my blog sidebar for as long as you are part of the team which equals free advertising for you!

{COLLECTION DEBUT} Surfs Up Baby Shower

     
As you know I just LOVE receiving CUSTOM orders to design for my clients. This by far was a super EXCITING one for me to design as hellooooooo . . . I love everything surfing, I used to reside in Cali and what is NOT cool about a surf theme? 
The best part is they wanted to keep the colors generic because the couple was NOT finding out what the baby gender was - they were keeping it a surprise! I LOVE that . . . I did that with the birth of my daughter & am so glad I waited & was surprised! How fun!!!! SO the colors of coral & a soft teal just really exuuuuude the 'surfer vibe' don't ya think? Me likey. ;)
 
Introducing the brand new . . . .
'SURFS UP" baby shower collection

This is the perfect collection for those wanting a gender neutral color scheme or theme!
Here's what you get in this collection . . . 
(pictured above}
1. banner - that says "Welcome Baby" along with the surfboard graphics
 
2. paper pack - you receive 4 different design/ color combinations in this pack that can be used for scrapbook paper, craft ideas, decor accents & to make pinwheel circles


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


3. Welcome Sign - 8 x 10 print can be framed to use as decor on your table or a welcome sign on the front door for your guests. It says "Welcome Lil Surfer"
 
4. drink flags - attach these to straws for a fun way to coordinate in 2 different designs
5. food / drink / decor labels - comes with 2 different designs - each will have plenty of room so you can write in whatever you need to label. Easy fold-over tent style allows them to stand up on table.

6. napkin wraps - you will get 3 different designs/ color combinations that are great to use on napkins or decor accents
7. '"WISH" cards - use these as a keepsake for the momma. Have guests write anything that they "wish" for the baby. 
**says: 'wishes for lil surfer' on them
 






8. toppers/ circles - use for accents to your table decor - simply cut them out or use a punch, glue to lollipop stick or toothpick & done!
Hope you love this collection as much as I do! 
You can find the SURFS UP collection in my Etsy shop! 

There is also a SURFS UP invitation (of course!)



 

I personally think this collection would be amazing as a BIRTHDAY PARTY collection as well! A quick color change, a couple tweaks & BAM! Surfer b-day collection! I just put it on MY design list. ;)
 As always, if you EVER have any special custom design party collection idea requests, PLEASE feel free to email me anytime & I can design one for YOU!

Have a great week!
