I was honored to create THIRTY FOUR baby shower invitations for a niece in Wisconsin. Thirty Four invites is a lot! They wanted a "Woodlands Animal" theme which I was stunned to see I didn't have a single thing
I started with some soft blue and white polka dot pp from Hobby Lobby and cut it with a Stitched Rectangle die. I inked up the paper a little to make my sweet clouds pop better. I wanted the fox to be holding an umbrella because of the whole shower thing : ) but I didn't have one so I went to my DIGI file and found one from Dee Dee's Digital Stamp Store (which is now closed). Next I cut out all the die pieces, the clouds, the fox, the hello and the balloons from the set but only used the string. It was super easy after all the pieces were cut. I just colored my foxes and umbrellas and assembled them! Foxy and the umbrella are popped up with foam tape : )
I printed out the invitation details for the inside on my computer and cut those out with a little smaller rectangle die.
Time consuming but well worth it for our sweet niece and her little "miracle baby" she was not "supposed" to ever be able to get preggers! God is good!!!!!!!
I am linking up with two of my favorite challenges!!
AAA Challenges asking for use of one of our stash favorites and for me it's DIES!! And Happy Little Stampers where yippee for me the theme is... DIES!!
That is it for me today while I put the finishing touches on my preparations for our good friends coming to visit from Wisconsin today!! I'm so excited.
I hope you all have a wonderful and fun day today!!
Please stop by tomorrow when I will share a VERY special birthday card for one of THE sweetest gals in Blogland!
