oh, baby part 2

Here are some more shower pics as I promised...I hope you enjoy :)


These are the glass bottles and stripey straws I found online at www.shopsweetlulu.com.  I cut patterned paper and adhered it to the outside of the bottles to coordinate with the shower colors.  We filled them with pink lemonade and voila!  These bottles were a HUGE hit!





This wire bottle holder was a local vintage find...




Don't you just love this gorgeous ruffle cake?  And sooooo yummy!




We gave the cake pops away as favors...




We also had chocolate cupcakes along with mini vanilla cupcakes (shown above)...




And what's a party without a little candy bar action?...we found all the candy at our local Party City...


Colors all coordinated to match :)

The cake, cupcakes, mini cupcakes, and cake pops were all made by a friend of mine, Jennifer Breyman, who has a local catering business...Baked Farm Fancy.  If you live in the area, I highly recommend her!

We made a few of these yummy cookie mixes and put them in smooth Ball mason jars and added a baby bottle nipple on top and gave them away as door prizes...I got this idea from bakerella.com.




These were new parent advice cards that I had the guest fill out.  I made these using my Big Shot and SU! Top Note Die...




A special gift my sister received from my mom...




And of course, the expecting parents!  


This is my beautiful sister, Melissa and her husband, Jeff...I'm so happy for them and I can't wait to meet my little niece!  (She's due in late November!)  Congrats to them all!!!

oh, baby!


I had a fabulous weekend preparing for and co-hosting my sister's baby shower which was yesterday :)  It went off without a hitch and everyone had a great time.


Here are some pics of the shower decor that I hope you enjoy!



The invitation...






The dining room table display...


We made the table runner out of various sizes of paper doilies and attached them using Glue Dots.




The buffet table display...


This served as the dessert and candy table.  I hand-cut the dresses for the banner and used various trims and ribbon to decorate them.  The miniature clothespins are from Stampin' Up! and the paper and trim is from various Studio Calico kits.



The diaper wreath...





The diaper cake...





My gift to my sister was this dress form I found online and this adorable tutu!  The tutu was made by a good friend of mine who co-owns a local children's consignment shop, Practically Perfect Boutique, which can be found on Facebook.





We decorated my mother's seasonal wrought iron tree with cute items for the baby...booties, pacifiers, socks, rattles, sippy cups, etc...





I made this "It's A Girl" banner from various Studio Calico kit papers and my Big Shot.  It was strung along the bannister by the front door where the guests arrived.





And here's a close-up view...




I don't want to overwhelm you so I will post more pics from the shower tomorrow so stay tuned...
And feel free to leave comments!  I love hearing from you and answering any questions you might have about techniques, products I use, or anything at all that you might want to ask me!

Have a great Monday!
