Well did you survive Christmas?? I know I did. It was absolutely wonderful. Family gathered and I really enjoyed the grandkids running around and watching their excitement as they opened gifts. I had thought I was finally able to put my "Creative Juices" to rest for at least a wee bit. BUT......................
A friend of mine basically at the last minute sent me an invite Christmas Day Eve for a baby shower to be held on Saturday. Yep in 4 days!!! Although I don't mind getting gifts or gift cards for these events I always love to add something a little more personal and homemade. Yikes but I only have 4 days!!
Well previously I had made a Jungle themed baby book for another friend back in the fall and I had alot of scraps from that book. A great way to use alot of little scraps is creating a sample that can be hung on the wall of a nursery. Lucky for me I had a Recollections (from Michael's) printers tray in the craft room. TA DA!!!!!! I had a plan. The sex of the baby is not being announced so it had to be neutral. Jungle is neutral right? So here's what I came up with.
The little sign in the upper left corner didn't show up on camera but it says "Beware Sleep Deprived Parents". The stickers I used were from everywhere...lol. Some are Jolie's, some Recollection's and some Dollar Tree. A few homemade like the banner by the giraffe, the word BABY and the silver stars. The papers were mostly from Echo Park. Now I just need to get it wrapped. Oh and I still have scraps from the scraps so I think I may make her a set of Thank you cards too with the same papers. Just a little added bonus.
Thanks for stopping in.
HAPPY CARDING
Susan, your sampler is so cute! It's sure to be a hit!
