Boats for boys!

I just love babies and parties for babies!!  My coworker and his wife are expecting their first child later this month.  As soon as I heard I started a mini, a card and organizing the office shower.  I am so happy with how this one turned out.  I don't have a lot of stickers in my stash but this one just wanted a card.  I layered some graphic 45 paper with a topnote.  I thought that top note needed something and white faux stitching really helped set it off.  Then a spell binders die layerd to make a perfect frame for that little sail boat.

I knew I needed some fabric to keep it a little softer, nothing like my favorite Rumple Ribbon in simply white to do the trick.

Super Sweet Shower Favors

A dear friend of mine is expecting a baby girl and I am so happy to be involved in the shower planning.  My partner in crime decided on the color scheme of hot pink and bright orange.... I thought oh no!!!  I am painfully traditional in these things.  But as I started planning I fell in LOVE with the combo.  For the favors we decided on nail polish - with this great color combo it was easy to pick out the colors.  I have thrown a few showers over the years, and this just seemed like a really practical gift people might actually want!!  (Thank you Pintrest)

I decided to dress them up a little with the cricut cut poodles and tied that on with what else but rumple ribbon!  I just love how these look and can't wait for the big shower day.
