hello, baby

 Boy did this weekend fly by. I wish it had lasted just a little bit longer. I went to a stamp get together a few weeks ago. I was pretty excited when I saw that my friend Cary had this as her shoe box. I have a few cousins that are pregnant and are due within the month. I made a couple changes from Cary's original card and I added some ribbon. Loved the card Cary and thanks for sharing. Since making this card my cousin had her baby and momma and  sweet baby girl are in good health and home. With a very proud big sister.

Congratulations!

 Anthony, Sandy & Joanna

Can't wait to see you all later in the week. =D

BABY wants chocolate

These were the favors that I made for the shower. Jen wanted candy bars so that is what she got, big mistake though because I ended eating some of the chocolate bars as I was putting them together. =D Oh well at least I didn't eat them all right? We kept with the same DSP, we definitely got some use out of this fun Ice Cream Parlor DSP. These favors were quick and fun to make. Drop me a line and let me know what you think.

BABY Banner

Happy Monday All, boy it sure seems like this weekend flew by and way too fast. I had a very busy weekend with friends and family. I love those kinds of weekends just spending time with my family. Here is the Banner I made for my good friend Jen's baby shower. I had a lot of fun making it and was pretty happy with the way it came out. What do you think? If you haven't seen my earlier post then you are probably wondering what is that suppose to be on the outsides. Jen loves sugar, baked goods, candy you name it if it's sweet she's gotta have it, so her baby shower was a confections theme so that is my punch art version of wrapped candy! Everything really did turn out cute.

Something SWEET is on the Way!

This will have to be a quick post today. I have lots to do it's my really good friend and down line Jennifer's baby shower and I'm helping co host it. This was the invitation that was made for the shower, now I wish that I could take credit for it but I can't the only credit I can take is that I had the pleasure of putting together 25 of them. Jenn designed her invitation and I made them for her I couldn't have her making her own shower invites. Aren't they cute? Can you guess the theme? Yes it is going to be a sweet tooth shower Jen loves her sugar. Gotta run but stay tuned for more baby shower fun.

I received this card a few weeks ago from my cousin Niki who is also a SU! Demo. Isn't it adorable?! I like that she tried keeping it gender neutral being that it's still too early to know yet what my bun in the oven's gender is. We aren't able to find out until the end of April, right now that just seems so far away. I'm not always a patient person when it comes to surprises. =D Thank you Niki for this wonderful card and Toll family for the sweet words. If you would like to check out Niki's blog and find out more details on this card click here.

Now for today's post. I have to say my camera is not taking the best of pictures lately, UGH! These are baby shower invitations that my friend and I made for her shower. Let me tell you this was sorta of a challenge for me, why you ask? When trying to figure out what my friend Melissa had wanted for her invitations I asked her what look was she wanting to go for, she specifically told me, I want it to NOT be anything baby! So I made a few different cards and this is the one we came up with! End Result she was very happy with her invites! WooHoo! BTW, I think this DSP might be one of my new FAVES! Stay tuned for ribbon shares, there will be a total of 6 colors, more details to follow! Supplies list below.

IT'S A BOY & A GIRL!

Good Morning All, today is a very busy day today! I have lots of things to do to get ready for my son's birthday weekend. So I thought I would get a early start on my list of things to do! These are some baby shower favors that I worked on last week. 2 of my cousins are both pregnant and only a few weeks apart. As you could already figure out one is having a boy and the other a girl. They decided to have joint baby shower so I thought it only made sense to alternate the blue and pink. The translucent film is not SU! I thought that in this case being that I was making 40+ favors that it would not be cost effective for me. I was pretty happy with the way they turned out and happily so were my cousins. = D

Stamp Set: Holiday Blitz

Ink: Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue

Accessories: 1 1/4 circle punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, 1/16 handheld punch, Scallop Circle punch, Linen Thread, Pink & Blue Satiin ribbon and Sticky Strip

BABIES, BABIES AND MORE BABIES!

I absolutely love babies and boy am I going to be surrounded by them soon enough. I have 5 friends and family that have little ones on the way and recently found out that another close friend of mine is pregnant. As well as a cousin and a friend that just had babies. Needless to say there will be lots of baby cards being posted on my blog and baby showers to attend. Woo Hoo!

I feel a baby fever coming on with me hmmm baby #2 for me! LOL!

Today's baby card was inspired by a journal I found in our Stampin Success magazine that we as demonstrators receive every month. I love it, it is always filled with so many ideas and color combinations. It's also very helpful when your creative mojo decides to take a vacation on you, I know we have all been there. The journal is the third picture down. Thanks for stopping by!
