{Real Parties} Baby Shower Invitations

My Sister!  Doesn't she look amazing with her little baby bump:)

My baby sister is due in about three weeks and I am soooo excited to meet her baby girl.  With the help of my mom and my sister's mother in law, we threw her a baby shower right before Christmas.

Yes, I know it was a pretty crappy time to throw a shower but it went so smoothly.  Instead of having a super long post, I figured I would break up the pictures into different categories, similar to my birthday series.

Baby Shower Invitations



Please note:  All personal information has been removed from this invitation.



We decided to go with a little girl/butterfly theme for the shower since my sister decided on butterflies for the bedding. 

Not wanting to overdo the theme, I went with simple but cute for the invitations.  I also had to make more than 50 of them so simple was definitely faster even though it took me forever to finish these.

Using my computer, I printed out the invitation on white card stock in black and pink ink.  I then cut and pasted it on premium light pink card stock.  Lastly, I cut out three onesies on my Cricut from the New Arrival cartridge.  I pop dotted the onesies and added pink and white twine for a clothesline.

I received many complements on these invites and I was so pleased with how they came out.

Here are some more pictures!

The invitation says:

Ten little fingers and ten little toes

Two little ears and one little nose!

I ran out of the pink and white swirl paper so I also made some invitations with a pink and white hounds tooth print.

 

What do you think?

Project Alert: If you look closely at my pictures you can see two projects I have been working on.  I will be sharing both of them soon:)

New Baby Shadow Boxes

Since Baby R has wrapped his little hands around absolutely everything I do and think about, I decided to make shadow boxes for new babies.  I guess I was really looking for something adorable to hang on the wall that shared all the special information about Baby R's birth! Well let me introduce you to my favorite tool in the world!

My Cricut Expression!

So yes! I am in love... in love with a machine that will do my every wish without a second thought!  I just plug in a cartridge or my gypsy and then press cut and out pops a perfectly cut item of my choosing!  With the help of my Cricut and the New Arrivals cartridge I was cutting away to create my adorable shadow box.  Well since I own such cute paper in both boy and girl prints.  I just had to make three different designs.



The little girl version!







The little boy version!









 



I have already sold one of these to a friend of mine for a baby shower gift and I hope to make more and eventually open up an etsy shop.  BUT... until then let me know what you think:)
