Baby Shadow Box

So I think I am the final stretch of projects I made for my sister's baby shower.   Here is a shadow box I made so she can put a picture of beautiful niece.

Again, most of the products are not SU.   The only things are the whisper white cardstock, Pink Pirouette tafetta ribbon, pearls and Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon.    I have to say I love the pleated satin ribbon.   I am going to have to pull out more and make more projects with it.

Little Girl Baby Card

I was completely and totally inspired by a little girl baby card I saw on Pinterest.   I love this little dress idea.   I took this template and then tweaked it make my card.  

Most of the products are not SU, I think the only thing was the white cardstock, but I just couldn't resist the share.

I am totally making this card again in the future!

Baby books are great ideas, but sometimes you're too busy.
Living with a little one can put you in a tizzy.
Milestones pass too fast at times to find the proper page.
So, jot a note of each event with date or baby's age
(like "Took 3 steps on May the 1st"
or "Teething -- 5 December")
then drop it in this Memory Jar to help you to remember!

As children grow, they learn to speak, And have so much to say.
They crack us up and make us smile
Each and every day. All the things they do and say,
We think we will recall. But as they age, so do we,
And we don't recall at all!
So HEAR it, WRITE it, DROP it in -
That's all you have to do,
To help remember the things they did, And WHAT was said by WHO!

Our little sweetheart's first pictures

I wasn't sure when my sister first said she wanted a scrapbook of her sonogram photos how it would turn out.   After I saw the first set of pictures I just knew it would be making a long scrapbook.  Most of the photos appear to be 4 wallet size photos on a strip of photo paper.   

So I took the retired long on board chipboard and 12 x 12 sheets of paper to cover the back and front along with 12x12 sheets for the inside.

The title was printed out.

Ingredients to make the scrapbook:
Paper:   Whisper White, Real Red, Love Impressions Specialty Designer Series Paper
Accessories:   Real Red Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Pearls, Stickers from a local craft store
Tools:  Sprial Binding machine, Border Sizzex from a local craft store, Big Shot

Party Ensemble

Paper Crafts is hosting a fabulous challenge with an amazing prize package.   It is to promote their new Party Ensemble special edition publication.    Well seeing the prize package was enough motivation for me to create for my sister's baby shower.    I am so excited I am going to be an aunt to a little girl!!   The theme for her room is a butterflies!   So here my party ensemble, a diaper cake, inviation, favor box and banner!   

Click here to see the diaper cake tutorial.   It is actually super easy to make.   Looks harder than it actually is!      The flowers for the diaper cake were a long stem floral that I cut the florals off and tucked in the cake. The butterflies were punched and attached to the cake with stick pins with pearl tops.

 The favor box was made with Box #2  and Two Tags Sizzex.    The banner is just a large circle cut out and folded in half.   1 3/4" circles were punched and attached to make the scallop edge.   Many of the products were purchased at a local craft store as well as the butterfly punches and baby stamp set.
