Baby Shower Gift Cards

From Heidi...I have babies on my mind...so, I thought I'd share a cute gift card holder I made for a baby shower or as a baby gift. I made a little "onesie" for the front of the gift card and used velcro as a closure for the gift card. Cute and fun to make!Today I'm working on some new gift card holder ideas for our project class in July. I wish that I knew what the new DSP were going to be in the new 2010-11 Idea book, so I could be creating with the new papers, but I won't know until next month...aaaah! Waiting is hard!

Stampset: Itty Bitty Bits; Punches: Itty Bitty Shapes, 1" circle, Bojo Blossom; CS: Certainly Celery, Cottage Wall DSP, Pale Plum, Welcome Neighbor DSP; Big Shot: Scallop Circle, Perfect Polka Dot Impressions Folder

Baby Album Cover

From Adriel:

My mom did a beautiful job on the cover of this album, don't you think?

Our baby scrap-together in preparation for Allison's arrival is this weekend and we are spending this week putting the finishing touches on getting ready! We have pages ready for assembly, with pictures of what each finished page should look like. We've never done anything like this before, so we're curious to see how it all will go together! Here's a couple more pictures of pages for the album:

The pages are going into the before-mentioned album that my mom did the cover for. I think it turned out beautifully and I love how she did Allison's name. Very cute!

Looking forward to seeing some of you there and will miss those of you who are not able to make it.

Hope you're all enjoying your week and having a wonderful day!

This & That Thursday: Scrapbook Layouts

Here's a few pictures of some of the layouts we have been working on for the scrap-together coming up soon! The pages are not assembled yet. We just took pictures for an overall picture to help all of the wonderful ladies coming to assemble them. The pictures should help with putting the pages together quickly and also alleviate any concerns from those who think they don't know how to scrapbook.

So, those of you coming get a sneak peek!

And for those of you not able to make it,

hopefully it makes it seem like you're a part of it still. =)

We've got some yummy food planned, too! =)

I'm planning on making my Sour Cream Lemon pie...

it's so yummy and I rarely make it,

so it's a treat for me too! =)

It's getting closer and I'm looking forward to it! =)

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Happy Weekend!

It's the weekend! Yay!

On Monday it felt like the weekend should be here already. Ever have those days? Well, it's nice for me that this week went by rather quickly and the weekend ended up being here before I knew it! Love it when that happens! =)

Yesterday we worked on the invitations for the scrapbook party we plan on having in preparation for the new baby's arrival. My mom and I have been designing pages for the scrapbook and getting all the pieces cut out and ready for assembly. We'll have lots of helpers to assemble it and it will be a fun way to celebrate a new baby coming. =)

Here's Mary and my mom hard at working stamping sheets of Whisper White cardstock for the invitations.

We had quite an assembly line going. Kayla was punching flowers and folding cardstock... I didn't get a picture of her (or myself for that matter).

The invitation is a pocket card. The stamped Whisper White cardstock got trimmed down for the front of the pockets. The insert pulls out and that will have the information about the special event!

I used a fun color combination of Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White for these invitations. I haven't used Melon Mambo hardly at all this whole entire year, but it was a fun addition to this project.

If you're one of our stamping gals, be looking for one of these in your mailbox soon! I plan on having these sent out by the first of April! =)
