Baby Shower Goodies

Hi There!!! As you probably know my sister is having her very first 'delicious' bundle of joy in June, and tomorrow I am throwing her a Baby Shower. You've probably seen the invitations I made for her here, and today I thought I'd show you a few bits and pieces I've made for the big day.

First up... how about some Baby Shower Thankyou Favours... I've gone with the same theme as the Invites here but with a LOT less cutting out (Phew!!!), however I must be honest and say that I was indeed tempted to cut out more manes for the lion like I had in the invites, but decided after a long talking to myself that NO!!! enough is enough... hahaha (Don't you love it when you tell yourself off... or am I the only one that does that.. haha.
Anyhoo here are the favours I made... there are 20 odd here:-


A little close up of the Giraffe and the Lion... aren't they just the most adorable little creatures?


And here are a couple of gifts I made for prizes for some of the party games we'll play:-

A little bundle of 'Thankyou Notes and Envelopes'


And a Chip Board Journal, which I covered with some DSP and used my Cheep Talk Stamp set.


I hope the ladies coming enjoy the afternoon and those that are lucky winners like there little prizes.

Be back soon with some more, but I must go and ice my cake!!!!

A Baby Shower!!!

Hello.... I'm Back!!!! as as promised I have a picture of the 'FINISHED' Baby Shower invite I was talking about in this post, earlier today.

Hope you like them.... but most importantly i REALLY hope that Kate Jemma LOVES them!!!

The Base of the invite is Certainly Celery, with a layer of Kraft Cardstock. I recently had a Birthday Book Class and had a HUGE amount of Kraft pieces left over, so I really wanted to use them, and I think they were PERFECT for these invites. I used my White Gel pen to create some faux stitching around the edge.

Now for the little animals (all from Wild About You!), I stamped the lion in So Safron, then restamped his head in Pumpkin Pie and cut out the mane, then restamped his head again in So Saffron and cut out the head part and then used my Choc Chip marker to colour in his face features. All the layers are popped up on dimensionals. The Elephant is stamped in Soft Sky and I also restamped his ear and attached that with a dimensional and the Giraffe is stamped in So Saffron and again I used my Choc Chip Marker to colour in his face and tail.

Although there was an AWFUL amount of cutting out involved in these little darlings... I REALLY did enjoy creating them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Want to see what I've been doing????

Just thought I'd pop in and show you oh so quickly what I've been up to recently.

I'm organising a Baby Shower for my darling sister and opted (of course) to make her Baby Shower invites as well as all the prizes and any other bits and bobs needed for the special day. Sooo....I had this idea in my head for some cute little invites, thinking that I wanted to keep it nice and simple... well hold on to your hats because I'm about to show you my idea of 'SIMPLE'..... (not!!!).


Quite the simple little exercise when you are creating just one invitation, not the 26 or so that I have had to do. Here is the pic of all the little animals from my FAVE 'Wild About You' set... they are absolutely adoarable aren't they... so now can you see how I just couldn't resist... hahaha

And here is a little close up of the little lion... YES that is THREE different layers on his head... CRAZY I know!!!!

Now that I've stamped them and cut them all out, It's time to assemble the invitations... so be sure to pop back soon, to see the finished product.. I SOOOOOO hope they turn out how i've imagined them and I hope that KJ loves them too.

Thanks for stopping by.
