Baby Wish Cards

I'm still working on baby stuff over here and probably will be for awhile :)  My SIL (sister in law) saw something on Pinterest that she wanted to know if I could re-create.  They were Baby Wish Cards, which are little decorated cards that the baby shower guests write a special little message to the baby on the way.

Here is the original that she found:


Very cute! If you would like to purchase directly from this seller here is where you can find her shop on Etsy: EngLavendarStudios

This is my version:

and my other version:

I actually like the little girl the best.  I like the bling in her hair & my castle is not so little girl "princessy".  Maybe I should go look for a new castle stamp?  Plus the girl card is slightly smaller, so it would be easier to fit more cards on one scrapbook page.  But it's not up to me!  I think my SIL will choose the castle, but who knows :)

Babycakes!

I am very excited about the cards I made this weekend!  For multiple reason's too!
1) I have a baby on the way!
2) My Sister in Law has a baby girl on the way!
3) My dear friend has a baby on the way!
4) I LOVE the paper name "Babycakes" and the whole design of the paper pack!
5) I just think the cards are adorable!

In our latest CTMH catalog they have a paper set called Babycakes and it so neutral, and yet can be personalized for a gender very easily.  My dear friend Mary Thompson came up with a set of 12 cards and they are all BEAUTIFUL.  However, I didn't really need 12 baby themed cards lying around, so I copied 6!  I think that should keep me going for awhile with different baby showers for my SIL and friends :)

Take a look:

The first bunch of cards used a stamp from an older CTMH stamp set called "New Arrival" that can still be purchased here on my website.  The last 3 cards used some coordinating adhesive canvas sheets called "Babycakes Complements" and can also be found on my website.

Here are some additional idea's to do with our Babycake's paper pack:







Aren't these all great!?  I'll be trying some layouts with Babycakes soon!

Back to School Muslin Bags

My kids start back to school a little later than the other kids in our neighborhood.  They attend a private school, so they start later & get out later, but their summer is still the same length as all the other kids :)
This year my youngest is joining her big sister at school.  She is starting "Jr. K" and thankfully our school starts that young!  She has been so anxious to join her sister. 

So I decided to send the girls to school with a special treat for their teachers.  Here is what I came up with:

They both were very excited about these!  Thank goodness too, because they took me longer than I expected :)  I ended up with 2 for my youngest and 6 for my oldest since she has different teachers for different subjects.

Here is what you can find in each one:

Not too shabby for a decorative baggie for some hand sanitizer :)

I used our CTMH School is Here stamp set.  It was perfect for this project!

You can find it here for only $9.95.  I'm so glad I used it this year's project :)

Here are some close up's of the bags:
