Baby Shower Decor

I was just at a baby shower on Sunday and it got me thinking... I never posted pictures of any of the crafts that I created for my nephew/godson's shower IN FEBRUARY OF 2018.  At the time, we did not know if it would be a boy or girl.  The theme was jungle animals. 

This is the diaper cake that I made.  My sister in law LOVES peacocks

and I found one at Target, so I had to place it on top of the cake:

This is a diaper wreath I used on the door leading into the shower

These were the favors.  My sister in law loves popcorn!

These were the centerpieces.  I made them with my cricut. 

 The punch bowl had lots of rubber duckie animals in it

Baby Shower Card for a Baby Boy

I went to a baby shower this past Sunday.  I needed a quick card, so I pulled out some project life cards and this is what I created.

I used 3 of the 4x6 project life cards.  There's one for the background on the front and one for the inside.  The word "baby" was cut from a third card.  The stork was one of the ephemera that came in the set.

 Front: 

Inside: 

In the last couple weeks, I have been obsessed with my envelope punch board!  Here's the envelope that I made for this card:

LM 440 - April Holidays - Lawn & Garden Month

April is Lawn & Garden Month.  This week at Lasting Memories, our challenge is to create a layout about your yard in April. 

Last April, I took photos of my dogs in my yard.  We had these beautiful white flowers growing in our grass and the dogs looked so cute frolicking in them.  I made sure to take a bunch of photos before we cut the lawn for the first time that year.

You & Me - COAPA

Virginia at Confessions of a Paper Addict created this GORGEOUS cut file and I could not wait to use it.  She has a challenge going on right now, so I am entering this layout. 

In November, my husband and I went to a wedding for one of his co-workers.  We took this beautiful picture, which is my favorite recent photo of us.  I thought it would go perfectly with this cut file.

I decided to cut the file in black, instead of white.  I LOVE how it turned out.  It stands out so nicely against the background.  This paper collection is one of my favorites and it works perfectly, since my husband and I are both in burgundy.

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is inspiration photos.  Here's this week's inspiration:

I had the perfect photo for this week.  When I was in the Bahamas, I took a photo with a display of floral wreaths outside of a flower shop.  It's one of my favorite photos from the trip and I absolutely LOVE how this page turned out.  I used LOTS of flowers from my favorite collection EVER, Crate Paper Flourish.

LM 438 - Photo Inspiration - Irish Inspiration

This month at Lasting Memories, we are having photo inspiration challenges.  Since today is St. Patrick's Day, we are using this image as our inspiration:

For our 10th anniversary, my husband and I went to Ireland in October of 2017.  One of the images in the inspiration photo is of the Temple Bar, so I decided to make a layout about it.  The Temple Bar is an iconic bar in Dublin. My husband and I visited there on our first day in Ireland.
