The complete party...

Awhile back I had made these invitations for my friend Julie who was hosting a baby shower for her friend Lani.


Well, Julie took the onesie theme and (with the help of our friend Kate) ran with it! I had to share all that they created for this shower...too cute!



The two (red and brown) chocolate suckers were made from a onesie sucker mold she found on ebay. The onesie on top of the cupcake was self made. Julie used the onesie stamp I used on the invitation and stamped it onto a piece of paper. She then placed the stamped image on a cookie sheet beneath some wax paper. Next she carefully drizzled melted chocolate on the wax paper using the onesie under the paper as a stencil. And the end result were these adorable onesies that topped her cupcakes.

Center pieces made from a brown lunch bag

Party favors for the guests...but I'm drawing a blank on what was put inside???

Another center piece...it's hard to see, but what looks like sand in the bucket is actually brown sugar. What a sweet touch!...hahaha

When I make an invitation I always try to create a thank you note to match. Here is what I came up with. It's a style that I've used before but changed it up a little with the papers, buttons, and wording.


The type might be hard to read but it says, "From the crib of the littlest Amann..."


Here is how I packaged them up.


It's really fun to see how one idea can generate another! Well, that's all for now...

Baby shower invitations...

My good friend Julie (aka Shanulie...if you watch Glee you might get that:) asked if I would make baby shower invitations for her friend Lani's shower. Of course I said yes, and here they are...


I really tried to come up with something that didn't use my favorite onesie stamp...but as you can see the onsie won out again. It's just such a great stamp to use on patterned paper and it's not the typical rattle or baby bottle that you usually see on invitations. Julie liked the finished product, and hopefully Lani will too.

I liked how all of the colors came together. Apparently these are the colors that Lani will be using when decorating her little boy's room. I like breaking away from the baby blue that everyone associates with having a boy.

Well, that's all for now...
