welcome baby

I made a gift card holder for my friend who was attending a baby shower over the weekend. I used yellow gingham from amuse along with french roast and sugar cardstock. I stamped the polka dots in lemon whip ink. The words and baby buggy were stamped in french roast ink. I added some ivory pearls and twine to finish it off. The buggy is a clear amuse stamp from a long time ago. I hope the lucky recipient liked this gift card as much as I do.

It's a Boy!

On 9-9-11 our nephew and his wife had their first child....a baby boy!

Welcome Colin Thomas Brown!

baby shower decor!

As "ewe" entered the walkway you were greeted by some friendly faces.

The baby washline consisted of some original baby clothes worn by the father-to-be and the

grandpa-to-be when they were little boys.

Martha had the room decorated with beautiful flowers and plenty of fleece and wool. Everyone was in awe over the darling cakes that she made and decorated.....they were delicious too!

Lauren, the mother-to-be,  is decorating the baby's room in sheep and the color green.

expecting baby brown.....

Our nephew and his wife, Lauren, are expecting baby brown to arrive in September. Today is the baby shower and this is the gift I am giving. Inside the black box are the thank you notes I made for her that I posted the other day. I found the darling sheep at Hallmark and because they are doing the baby's room in sheep and moss green....it is perfect! The white photo box contains a fleece baby blanket, onesies, and sleepers. The onesies and sleepers have little sheep on them and are absolutely adorable. I trimmed the photo box in gingham and they can use it to hold special mementos. I made several tags to adhere to the packages I am looking forward to meeting baby brown in September!

baby thanks you!

These thank you cards are part of the gift for the baby shower next weekend. My favorite part of making these thank you cards are the little baby peeking out of the crib. The animal train is a nice touch to the envelope flap.
