a little bit of sweetness

I'm helping host a baby shower for my good friend who is expecting her second baby girl. I wanted something simple, but sweet for the invitation, so this is what I came up with.


It is a printed 4x6 photo finished card with white cardstock backing to fit into a 5x7 envelope.

keeping busy...and loving it!

This last week I was a little busy creating a couple of photo cards. Here are some fun, new designs for special occasions.

Here is my in-laws' 35th wedding anniversary party invitation...
**This is a 4x6 card with silver matting (thanks to the suggestion of my sister-in-law, Kristen). The colors turned out amazing and look great together!


And a baby shower invite for a friend's sister...
**This is a 4x6 card with white backing. I love the brown and blue together.


Also, If you haven't checked out some of my holiday photo cards that I have created for my friend Annie's photography business, then go here.

I have a baby announcement that I can't wait to share, but it's not quite finished yet. It's super cute!

The greatest thing about all of this creating and keeping busy is that I don't find any of it a burden. I love it too much for it to ever be a chore!

baby shower favor idea

A couple of days ago, I helped host a baby shower for a very good friend of mine who was celebrating the birth of her third child. My other friend whose house we were having the shower at had printed some wallet size photos of the sweet baby with the intentions of using them for the shower invite. When that didn't work out, I decided to try and do something with them as shower favors for the attending guests.

I backed the wallet size photo with white paper and then onto a colored cardstock. I then took some coordinating ribbon and thread it through two punched holes.

On the back, I attached a poem that I adapted to fit the baby's name, including his birthdate at the bottom.
Each guest took home this special little favor to hang on their refrigerator.
