More Cards!

Couple cards I have made recently!

Cute as a Button baby shower

I threw a baby shower for my sister-in-law. She is expecting a baby girl April 1, and we are all so excited for her arrival! I wanted to make the shower full of pink and 'girly' things since I just know baby Evelyn is going to be a girly girl :).

The theme of the shower was 'Cute as a Button' and the colors I choose were pinks and brown.

Invitations:

White chocolate (dyed pink) covered pretzels as favors for each of the guests:

Prizes for the games, purchased at Target dollar spot.

White cupcakes with alternating pink frosting and chocolate.

Custom water bottles! So cute and so simple. I bought normal water bottles, pealed off the labels, then designed the labels in Microsoft word and had them printed at Kinkos on card stock paper, then hot glued them to the water bottles.

** Thank you so much to my mother-in-law, Elaine, for the amazing pictures she took during the shower! ***

Spice up a zip-lock bag!

Many people give treats to friends over the holidays. I often make puppy-chow (my ultimate favorite!) and give that away. In the past I have purchased cute tins to give it away in, but this year I just put it in zip-lock bags, added Christmas scrapbook paper, a cute sticker or ribbon, and wa-la.....an adorable bag!

Here is the recipe, it can also be found on the back of Rice Chex boxes:

And for those of you with doggie friends, I also made homemade peanut butter dog treats and put those in the zip-lock snack size bags. I found cute dog-treat stickers at the craft store to add as well.
