Baby Shower

We had a baby shower for one of the young men that I work for. I created this Baby Shower cake as the center piece. The center of each cake is disposable diapers, then I used receiving blankets to cover them, added hair clips, and headbands, socks tied with ribbon (Stampin' Up! ribbon) baby bath, powder, tights, and rattle on top. I even put it onto a cake board.


 
I wish him and his wife great new Beginnings with their new arrival.


Here is the banner that I made for them. YES it's a Girl..

Saint Patrick's Day

I used Whisper white card stock, Glorious Green, Certainly celery ribbon, Designer series paper in certainly celery, and a Circle Fire Rhinestone brad. The shamrock is made using the heart punch. Very easy to make.

As usual it is so much fun to see everyone creating their own take on a project all using the same supplies.. it's amazing how they can all be different.. I learn so much from them. My friend Chris brought her daughter n' law and her granddaughter.. who was so much fun.. she really did a beautiful job, she won a prize which was a free workshop, and got so excited. I will be looking forward to working with them all again. Thanks Debbie for keeping us laughing and for all that came. What a great way to spend a couple of hours.
For any who missed, we munched on bagels from Bagel Thyme, fresh strawberries, yogurt, coffee, tea, and pomegranite lemonade. Oh, I almost forgot, CUPCAKES iced in green for Saint Patricks Day!
