Meet our Judges ~ Dawn Smith {Not Just A Mommy}

Meet the creative woman behind Not Just A Mommy, Dawn Smith

I like her saying....It can't be just about the kids!

I invited Dawn to help me judge our Dessert Table Contest because I know she follows and admires some of the best party and event planners and stylers there are and she is one inspiring party momma herself!  I met on through Twitter and started following on her ideas as well, and the best thing I like about Dawn is how supportive and such a great fan she is!

About Dawn:

"Hello! My name is Dawn and I live in Seattle. I'm a mom to 2 wonderful boys, a proud military wife of a Marine and owner of a very hyper mini schnauzer.  I have a B.S. in Mathematics so I'm a bit of a geek but my true passion is entertaining. I have a little party blog called Not Just A Mommy! because I needed a place to get all the ideas out that were constantly pinging around in my head.  Hubby isn't very excited when I talk about party stuff, so I figured total strangers would be.  I don't just ramble about parties, though; I love to share about fun places to check out, cool crafts and tutorials, and all things entertaining. And every now and then, I may rant about something...but not too often."

Dawn's Parties:

I love how Dawn incorporates so many ideas into her parties.... I like playing I spy with her images because you'll find so many vendors, ideas and her own handcrafted goodies!

Meet our Judges ~ Kori Clark of Paper & Pigtails

Meet the sweet Kori of Paper & Pigtails.

She is not only one of our fabulous judges but also a prize sponsor. For the winner of our contest, there is a $45 value credit to her shop for a Printable Party Set from one of her really cute collections on the shop.

About Kori:

"My name is Kori and I live in sunny Florida where I share my home with my sweet husband, two excited toddlers, and two large dogs who shed a bit too much. My computer is my life line and I have been using it to illustrate original graphics for over 10 years.  It was love at first digital illustration, and I graduated in digital arts. Since that time I have worked corporately and then had the opportunity to stay home and try to make this a full time gig, with freelance work. In spring of 2010 I launched Paper & Pigtails to concentrate on party designs!"

Kori's Work:

I love her work, I can relate to a lot of the colors and the themes that Kori uses and I'm lucky to have had Kori worked on some custom party supplies for me using my blog's logo to create party circles and a beautiful banner.  Kori also created our Free Father's Day Printable Circles.

Her work has been featured on Phyllis Hoffman Celebrate Magazine {which you can find here and here } and HGTV.com among others.

Kori's Parties:

Check out all the handmade goodness and creativity on her beautiful parties, her kids are some lucky little ones!!

I heart Kori!
