Gold Baby Shoes

I embossed these little baby shoes with gold embossing powder. I highlighted the shoes with a bit of pink. This card went to my college friend who just had a beautiful baby girl. Her first child. I remember what that was like...kinda. :)

Theresa Collins papers and gold striped washi.

Baby Shower Card

 I love this little onsie stamp. It's so fun to color. I also love the person that this card went to. She is amazing. Having number seven and is just a happy as a lark. She inspires me to be less stressed out and go with the flow more often.

Stamp is Studio G. 

Paper is Lucille by Basic Grey

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.

Recipe for the Jalepeno Poppers at Skinny Taste

 

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!

Jungle Safari Baby Shower Decorations

I was so pleased to be able to be a part of my sweet friend, Heidi's, baby shower. I actually used to be her leader at church when she was just a wee little girl (16) ;) Am I really getting that old!!!??

She's going to have a little boy to love and cherish and she picked out this fabric called Safari Tots. Her mom made her the cutest bassinet with it, and I decided to make her a book page banner that she could hang over baby Ryan's crib.

I paper pieced this monkey based on something I saw on Martha ages ago.

and used it as the cover to an album I put together for her.

Here's the banner with baby Ryan's name and the circle garland at the party. They had these zebra print kraft cards at Hobby Lobby so I purchased a pack and stuck animal prints on the fronts. We used them as decoration and now she can use them as thank you cards.

I also put together a table centerpiece with jungle animals. I got these stickers at Dollar Tree in the wall sticker area.

I put the animal stickers on white card stock and then trimmed them out.I then made cylinders with coordinating papers and stuck one animal to a cylinder. There were a bunch of leaf stickers left over on the sheet so I thought maybe I could hobble together a palm tree.

I wrapped strips of torn brown paper around each other and attached the leaves at the top with glue dots. You could totally make this into a jungle diaper cake but someone else was already bringing a diaper cake ;). I hope you have a great day and bring some joy to someone in your life.
