You scream,
I scream,
We all scream for ice cream.
We made a DIY sprinkles in a spoon {a sip ‘n spoon}…and honestly, it’s a party with every bite.
This ultimate summer treat and ice cream party favor is on Momtastic.

Sheep Baby Shower
This baby shower is so adorable, it made us want to count sheep all night. Then, after a night of no sleep, we want to get on a plane to visit Kyburg farm in Stellenbosch, South Africa…and take those sheep lanterns home with us as a souvenir. Oh, we’re not leaving without a bottle {or two} of wine, too.
The gorgeous DIY details at this sheep-themed shower were made by the talented, Tanya Murray.
Lizelle Lotter Photography, thank you for sharing the beautiful images with us.
To make the cute hanging sheep lanterns like Tanya did, simply cut out hands and feet from black paper, add google eyes to the head and glue them to white chinese paper lanterns,
VENDOR LOVE:

Make & Mingle Macaron Workshop
It’s happening. It’s seriously happening.
Along with Kaitlin at The Every Hostess, we are thrilled to announce a new series for those in Colorado who love to create, learn a new craft and have fun while doing it.
We shall call it Make & Mingle.
The kick-off workshop of the series is super sweet, literally. We are hosting a Make & Mingle Macaron Workshop at Glaze, the Baum Cake Shoppe, in Denver, CO.
The pretty and delicious desserts that fill pastry shops seem so daunting and difficult to make. Well, the only way to learn how to make a Macaron is to just do it. We are going to be in the kitchen with a Glaze pastry chef who will teach us how to create the delicate, gluten-free desserts.
We only have 20 spots, so hurry up and sign up. Workshop is May 18 from 5:30-8 p.m. Call 720.387.7890 to register. Tickets are $60.
It will be a lovely evening, and a great opportunity for the creative community of Colorado to connect. Don’t worry, we won’t send you home empty-handed. You’ll get to take $20 worth of macarons with you, as well as other fun goodies in your swag bag, including a gorgeous print from The First Snow. We are suckers for swag bags.
Thanks in advance to Prema who is going to rock your world with stunning florals. And, thanks to Fleur de Lis for a pretty invite.
We can’t wait to Make & Mingle with you.

10 Creative Ways to Decorate the Wall with Flowers
Spring is nature’s way of saying, let’s party!
~ Robin Williams
We couldn’t agree more, Robin. Nature is alive again. The warmth of the sun, and buds in the trees is rejuvenating for the soul. We’re so happy Spring is here – seriously, we would hug it if we could.
Naturally, we’ve got flowers on our mind…and hopefully on our walls soon with all these amazing floral wall decoration ideas.
10 Creative Ways to Decorate the Wall with Flowers
1. Antler and Flower Wall Art: We’re still obsessed with all the deer heads popping up on walls, so the combo of deer heads, bright colors and fresh floral has us swooning. {via Wedding Chicks}
2. Paper Flower Wall: We heard Oh Joy! speak at Alt, and immediately loved her. She was a wonderful speaker, and she is insanely talented. Look at that DIY paper wall art. {via Oh Joy!}
3. Girl’s Room Decor: We are smitten with the paper flowers, teepee and gold pouf in this room! One lucky little lady calls this place home, and she’s most definitely a chic princess. {via honey & fitz}
4. Floral Monogram: With a little Modge Podge and a gorgeous floral print, you can create a pretty floral monogram. This would look great on the wall, and it would make a fabulous gift. {via Homey Oh My}
5. DIY Fresh Flower Wall: Buy some fresh stems from your local florist and hang the stems with washi tape. You can do this on a small-scale, or a large one. And, if you want it to last longer, buy fake stems. {via Green Wedding Shoes}
6. Party Backdrop: A Snow & Graham print is lovely and a wall to match is even more lovely. {via Snow & Graham}
7. Pom Flower Wall: Lia Griffith impresses again with this Mother’s Day Brunch pom flower wall. {via Martha Stewart}
8. DIY Giant Floral Typography Wall Art: We need to make this with a J! It’s so beautiful. {via Paper & Stitch}
9. Art Print: We love so many of The First Snow’s prints, so it was hard to pick just one. They are so pretty and unique. Plus, she’s in CO and we have major hometown pride!
10. DIY Framed Wallpaper Art: Make panels of art with rolls of wallpaper. It’s a DIY, which we always love, it’s affordable and looks fabulous! {via Hunted Interior}

Bloom into Spring with DIY Watercolor Flower Cups + Giveaway
Clearly, Jessica is in the mood for paper cups and watercolor this spring. Jenna was described as the ‘flower child’ growing up, but it seems Jessica’s inner flower child is coming out now. First came the bunnies, and then came the flowers.
Our Nani, fabulous as ever at age 79, is a proper lady that loves to entertain and host. She’s good at it, too. Amazingly, she has more energy then we do. Just like mother’s do, she will still walk up to us at a party {even in our 20’s and 30’s}and remind us to say hi to Mr. and Mrs. so and so, and congratulate them on their recent successes. We never understood it until we became mothers. Being the hostess with the mostess that she is, the thought of using plastic and paper glassware and flatware at a party is unbearable. It must always be china or glassware.
But, these DIY watercolor flower cups got the seal of approval from good ‘ole Nani P. They are paper, but they look lovely, and they don’t look cheap. You can fill them with water, juice or a fave cocktail, or fill them with a favor. They make for a great place card, too, with custom names painted on them. Use them for Easter, a spring brunch, bridal shower or baby shower.
If you like them, and think they would be a great fit for your next event, follow us on instagram, then tag a friend in comments under the photo of these cups. Those who follow and tag will be entered to win a set of 30 of these watercolor cups for FREE – you can choose to receive a variety, or pick your faves. We are not professional artists, and what you see is what you get. But, for free, they are darn adorable. Giveaway starts March 25 and ends March 31, 2015. Giveaway is not sponsored by Instagram. Names are NOT included on cups for giveaway. Good luck.
Questions? Email us at hello@jsorelle.com.
To make them, you’ll need:
- Paper Cups {$1 for a pack of 10}
- Watercolor paints
- Brush
- Water
The amazing one step tutorial is…explore floral inspiration in your head, online or on a print, experiment with watercolor paint.
