Baby Shower Projects

Well, it's been far too long! I got caught up in the holidays, baby showers and baby birth, moving my mother and a really nasty cold over xmas. Anyways, i'm here to share some pics from my friend's baby shower (finally)!

My best friend, Kim, is Vietnamese so her Momma cooked up some insanely delicious food! People went a little nuts over the homemade spring rolls!!! But they are delicious so we get it : D

Here is my banner below. We attached the first part above the mantle...

Stamps: Fox & Friends

Ink: Basic Grey

Paper: Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey, Whisper White, Build a Bear pawsitively prints I (so saffron polka dot paper on the grey pennants)

Tools: Perfect Pennants die (new one), Bigz XL Pennant die (old one), Serif Essentials Alphabet dies, Rosette die, XL scallop circle punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, Circles #2 die, 3/4" punch

Extras: Daffodil Delight satin ribbon

and the second part hung from the mantle itself. As you can see the colours are Daffodil Delight, Basic Grey, and white. I used the stamp set Fox & Friends throughout. My grey polka dots were made from 3/4" circles punched from grey cardstock and applied at random with glue dots.

We also had a candy bar. Yay! Kim and I had a blast just going and buying the candy. We both agreed that it was the most fun we'd had in a long time. We used to work together in a chocolate shop, so our days of delighting in candy and treats together go waaaay back. As you can see, she didn't skimp!

So here is the food table!!! Homemade spring rolls, salad rolls, papaya salad with shrimp, noodle dishes...oh my!

A close-up of one of the menu cards. We put the Vietnamese name first, and the English underneath. At the shower they announced they were having a boy. The fox was Kim's favorite stamp of them all, so I went heavy on the fox.

Pretty yellow flower puffs Dominique made that we hung around the food table.

This is a picture of the wall of balloons that was above the spot where the gifts were opened. Cool idea eh? I found it on pinterest. Doesn't it sort of look like bubbles? 

Dominique did such a great job of organizing everything. Kim's mom is a master chef...i'm seriously so jealous that she got to grow up on her Momma's cooking. I was thrilled to be allowed to create some stuff for such an important event in our lives.

I love how events like this bring everybody together, and you get to see all those people you just don't normally see on an everyday basis. It makes it so special to reconnect again and to be able to all share the excitement together. It was such great fun!
