Ready To Pop Themed Baby Shower Fun

I've been a little MIA on the paper crafting front lately but for good reason. I have an amazing friend who is due in just a few short weeks. She's one of my bestest workout buddies and makes me feel awful when she runs faster than I do even being 8 months pregnant!!! :)
So I put together a little baby shower with the Ready To Pop theme and it was really fun. 

I tried to come up with as many foods that had "POP" in their names as I could. We ended up having

Homemade Kettle POPCORN

Hand Dipped Chocolate Marshmallow POPS

Green Chile POPOVERS (thank you Renee)

Jalepeno POPPERS

and Tropical POPICAL Punch (hahaha, I just made that one up)

The goody table

This is the full set up.

I made Peanut Butter Chocolate Twist Cup Cakes. They were so yummy. Compared to other recipes I've seen it's pretty simple and easy to follow. So much better than boxed cupcakes.

There's the soon to be mama and her little guy. So sweet.

Those popovers were really delicious. I put out little bags for people to scoop popcorn into.

The children at the shower enjoyed the chocolate marshmallow pops the most. :)

The table runner was fun and easy to make. Just stack 7 or 8 tissue flowers together, staple in the center and then fluff.

 

I couldn't find any cups that matched my theme so I just picked out three coordinating washi tapes and ran them along the bottom of simple plastic cups. Easy fix and cute too.

You can find the recipe for these delicious cupcakes at BHG here...the only thing I didn't do was add chocolate to the icing and swirl peanut butter and chocolate icing. Still perfect ;).

Simple decorated chalk board.
I had a lot of fun putting this together and I can't wait to meet the little man!!
Have a super weekend.

Washi Washi Everywhere and I just love it!

 

I have another slight addiction passion
for all things washi.
If you don't know what washi is or understand why it's so amazing
you can go HERE to find out.

My daughter and I actually put this card together yesterday in a matter of minutes.

I love that you have no adhesive to apply because it's already sticky and 

the patterns and colors are just so pretty now.

You can use it in so many ways too.

Hope you all have a super sweet day.

Butterfly Baby Shower Framed Art

I punched out a bunch of butterflies from random papers with a coral, aqua yellow theme. I made a five by five grid of butterflies and glued them down. Popping up their wings after they dried.

Tessa now wants one for her room :)

I used my Stampin' Up blender pen to color in the name with Stampin' Up ink.

A little bit of art for a beautiful baby girl.
Have a super sweet day!

Sweet Sunday Baby

A little girly baby card. This safety pin image from Authentique is one of my favorites as is this stamp set from Stampin' Up, Array of Sunshine.

Have a super sweet Sunday.

My Little Miracle

 I've been going back and scrapping some older pictures of my baby boy that I want to preserve. I began this layout over a week ago and there was just something missing

 (I got a wonderful suggestion from a friend for a banner). I used some washi tape and folded it over a piece of twine.

I love stars for little boy layouts.

You can go to my video tutorial that I made for the Scrapbook Steals How To'sday here to see how I made this washi flower.

Layering washi over patterned paper is a good way to get a double amount of goodness

Punching out shapes from the base paper is always a fun way to give dimension to your layout. I hope that you all are having a great week!
