Baby Shower Projects

Hello Again:

I have more projects to share. My co-workers and I attended a baby shower luncheon today at The Cheesecake Factory for a girl we all used to work with. She is having a baby boy and is extremely excited. I am so happy for her. Since I am the crafty one of the department, I volunteered to make a baby card for her from all of us and I volunteered to make little party favors.

First the card:

It is a 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 square card. The papers are from a paper pack called Nona's Nursery "Baby Boy" by DCWV. The digi is from Sew Many Cards colored with colored pencils. If you look really closely, there is a punched border on the bottom that I layered over. It was made with a Martha Stewart punch. The embellishment that looks like a charm bracelet I bought from Michaels. It was in the scrapbook section and I believe it was a Jolie's embellishment. Funny enough I bought this for another card I made some time ago and never used it. It was sitting in my stash ever since. The pearls are from my stash. The ribbon is from Paper Wishes and Stickles were added for the final touch. I just love stickles, don't you? To me, they just turn a card from it looks nice to dazzling! We all know women love shiny things. :D

My next project are the party favors I made. I used the Picnic Basket template from Paper Wishes. I used papers from the same paper stack as the card because they were nice and heavy. I added stickles and a bow, lined them with tissue paper and added Herrshey's chocolate kisses for the treats. Everybody loved them. In fact, my manager hinted to me that she might make an order of these for an anniversary party. I was like "Huh, come again?" LOL.

Thanks for looking and I hope you all enjoy your weekend.
