Baby Shower Welcome Sign

This is the Welcome sign that I had taped to the front door at Meg's Baby Shower. In all the excitement (meaning, rushing around like mad right before guests arrived), I neglected to take a picture of the sign before I sent it home with Meg as a souvenir at the end of the shower.


Meg was kind enough to bring the sign when she came by yesterday, so I got to take a few pictures of it for my blog.

Gluing all the die cut letters straight was tedious, but well worth the effect, don't you think?!

Meg's Baby Shower Decorations

Here are some of the decorations I made for Meg's baby shower last weekend. The theme was "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and the colors were Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and So Saffron.

I made a diaper cake using this tutorial. So fun and easy! It is topped with a monkey, because Meg and her husband love monkeys, and that is the theme of the nursery.



Here's some close ups:


Here are some sandwich toppers - I made 30 of these suckers:

(homemade chicken salad, yum!)

The favors that everyone went home with - star cookie cutters with a stamped tag. (I made 30 of these suckers, too!)


I know this isn't stamped, but it is my favorite decoration that I did, so I wanted to show it anyway. We strung a rope across the doorway and hung baby clothes with clothespins. I loved it!!! Meg got to keep all the clothes for her baby.

Small Wonder

This card was for Meg's baby shower yesterday. It keeps with the star theme and blue, green, and yellow color scheme of the shower. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a post with all the cool decorations I made.


The baby onesie was paper-pieced and coated with crystal effects.



The shower was a lot of fun. I'm just so excited for Meg....she is going to be an awesome mommy!

Baby Shower Invitation

Here it is, Meg's baby shower invitation. I made 30 of these suckers - whew! I really enjoyed it, though. I was excited to do something special for her shower. I am doing a star theme for the whole shower. I'm sure you can guess, she's having a boy!


The design of the card is my own, but I got the baby onesie shape idea from the awesome Lauren Meader. Her tutorial is really helpful if you want to make your own.

My favorite detail are the eyelet "snaps", just like the bottom of real onesies. There is a score line there for added detail.
