Baby Shower Creations with CTMH

My brother and his lovely wife are finally making me an AUNT!!!!  I'm over the moon excited!  I love babies, but I am DONE creating my own.  I cannot wait to love on, squeeze, kiss, snuggle and SPOIL their baby!  They are having a baby girl too :) 

My mom and I threw them a couples/family shower and it was my job to create decorations for the shower.  I took it upon myself to create some gifts as well. 

The theme we went with was Baby Carriages, in their colors:  Grey, Pink and White.

JOURNAL:  I used an older CTMH Journal, Dotty For You papers, Sweet Leaf Ribbon, Friendship Alphabet and Polka Dot Alphabet.

EMILY BANNER:  I cut the Baby Carriages  with the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge.  I used Posterboard Alphabet for the letters.

EMILY BLOCKS:  This is by far my favorite of all the things I created!  I used the CTMH 3x3 My Creations chipboard blocks and created the fronts using a variety of CTMH papers. The letters are the Eclectic Alphabet.  I added some bling and a couple of rolled roses.  I glued them all side by side and wrapped the Slate Satin ribbon around.  I created a bow with the Slate Ribbon and some other Pink Ribbon for the top!  


BUTTERFLY FRAMES:  These were used on the game table.  I took a nice white frame I picked up at Michaels, and altered it by adding layered butterflies glued onto the frame. The butterflies were cut in 3 colors, from the Art Philosophy Collection.  I made 2 of these for them to use in her room :) I love this one too, and plan to make some more to sell!!  


MONOGRAMS:  This was one of the guessing games, I stamped the decorative frame with  Perfect Fit Frames and then stamped with the Monogram E

MONOGRAM NOTECARDS:  Finally, I created 36 notecards for them to use as Thank You's.  I used a variety of CTMH and other papers (La Belle Vie, Lucy), stamped the decorative frame with  Perfect Fit Frames and then stamped with the Monogram E


I am now feeling quite guilty that my unborn niece has such amazing hand-made personalized items.... I need to create some more fun stuff for my daughter!

Here are some more of the party decorations:

Baby Carriages with flowers on each table

The cute mommy and daddy to be!

CTMH- Washi Tape Card

Do you WASHI???   Washi Tape is one of the new and super trendy products being used.  I'm not afraid to jump on the bandwagon :)  CTMH now has a Slate Polka-Dot Washi Tape (and I HOPE there are lots more to come!!!)  I also have picked up a couple others at Michaels recently. This weeks Color My Heart Color Dare is JUNIPER.  I decided to use Juniper as the accent color for my card today. I used the black banner stamp set from Artiste Kudos , CTMH's Slate Washi Tape , CTMH's Silver Shimmer Trim and a black arrow washi tape.  The sentiment is from Artiste Birthday , stamped in Juniper, then popped on foam tape. A simple card like this, called for some dressing up of the inside too.  I stamped Happy Birthday from Perfect Fit Birthday and added some Slate Washi Tape to the bottom. Head over to Color My Heart to check out the other color dare entries :)

CTMH-- September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favori

Welcome to the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop for September 2012, featuring Fall Favorites   All artwork on the hop will feature Fall Favorites!  This is a set of 11 stamps and it's really making me want FALL---- NOW!!!  How cute is this set!?  If you have come here from  Susan's Blog y ou are on the right path. For my card today, I used the new Clementine paper pack, which is so versatile!  I cut the tag from Art Philosophy and stamped Fall Favorites in Brown Staz-on ink, then colored the pumpkin and leaves with my new markers.  I found that they don't blend and shade terribly well on Kraft cardstock- but the color showed up.  I added some of my favorite Burlap Ribbon to the card :) Do you think I like pumpkin pie???  Just a little bit ;) The September Stamp of the Month- Fall Favorites is available September 1-30th.  With any $50 purchase, this set is yours for $5....
