Decorate to Celebrate #49 - Baby Shower

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a great week!! It's time for another fun challenge at Decorate to Celebrate. For Challenge #49, we are asking you to create any project to be used as a party decoration (or party supply) for a Baby Shower. Let's celebrate everything wonderful about new life - chubby cheeks, little fingers and toes, sleepless nights and unending joy with your table decorations, party banners, pennants, yard signs, cupcakes, party favors and more :)

I saw these adorable bibs in the Spellbinders Nestabilities Basics and Beyond book and knew I wanted to make them for a baby shower challenge :) They are so cute and easy to make. The paper is from The Paper Studio's Uptown Flair stack. The bibs were cut with Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles and Grand Circles. The scoop was cut with Spellbinders Classic Ovals large.  The congratulations stamp is from Fiskars. The ribbon is held in place with button brads from my stash. I thought the cut-outs were to adorable to throw away...they look like little flowers...so I made name tags for shower attendees :)

Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - May Flowers

Happy Friday!! I can't believe how fast this week went by. I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!! It's chilly and rainy here today...all part of the April showers that bring...May flowers. And that's the theme for this week's Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces. We want to see you use a flower on your project. Our sponsor this week is our super-talented and super-sweet design team sister Sherrie of Sherrie Scraps With Passion :)

Last week I created one side of a journal page for the April Showers page, so I thought I'd do the other side for May Flowers :)

The base is heavyweight watercolor paper from Strathmore. It was spritzed with Dylusions inks in Calypso Teal, Vibrant Turquoise, Fresh Lime and Cut Grass. A Crafter's Workshop Cosmic Swirls stencil was placed over the top and sprayed with London Blue Dylusions Inks. A CW Bricks stencil was placed on the bottom and spritzed with Postbox Red. The bricks were outlined with Derwent charcoal and then highlighted with white charcoal. The sun is a stamp from Beeswax, stamped with yellow acrylic paint.  The letters were cut with a Tim Holtz Wanted die from scrap watercolor paper. They were outlined with charcoal, as were the edges of the page. The flowers are a Dylusions Background Love stamp, colored in with Tim Holtz Waterbrushes filled with Dylusions inks, and then outlined with Sakura Gelly Roll pens in white and black. The girl is a Dylusions Annie stencil, colored in with black acrylic ink. She was stamped with the script stamp from the Tim Holtz Mini Ornates set in white acrylic ink. She was outlined with white and gray charcoal.
