Yellow & Gray Wedding Shower

I hosted a wedding shower for one of my oldest friends today. Our moms became friends when we moved to Ellensburg and I was 2 1/2 years old. That was before she was born so I've known her all her life. haha

Anyways, she's getting married so I had to throw a shower for her. Her wedding colors are yellow and cobalt blue. Her favorite color is yellow so I took that and added gray. Gray and I have had a thing lately and I've always secretly wanted to throw a yellow/gray party so it was perfect!

I kept the invites pretty simple since I had to plan this shower and Carver's party (last weekend) at the same time.

Details:

Core'dinations - Elephant & Yellow

Fiskars flower punch

Carver's 3rd Birthday Invites

Here's the invites I made for Carver's pirate party. I've had these done for so long and kept meaning to post these but I was too busy getting ready for the big day. haha

Puppy Shower Invites

Here's the invites that I made for my friend, Amanda's, baby shower. The nursery is going to be a puppy theme with these colors so her mom wanted to do the shower with the same theme. I am loving how these turned out!

I just got my memory card for my camera back so I'll hopefully have some more things to post about. I honestly don't remember what I put on there before Noah was born. Speaking of Noah though, if you would like to see some pictures, you can go to our family blog, The Garland Fam.

Baby Shower Invites

Finally!!! Here's the baby shower invites that I did for a friend of mine. They've been done for awhile but I've been busy with a couple other things. She's having two different showers - a traditional shower with the women in her family, and a co-ed display shower. That means that everyone brings their gifts unwrapped so that they have more time to enjoy the people that came.

Here's the traditional shower invites. She had a couple ideas on Pinterest that she liked and we made it work.

Details:
Holiday Cakes (in Cricut Craft Room)
TPC Corrugated Moss, Columns vellum
Core'dinations Evergreen & Sassy
flower paper ?

Here's the co-ed shower. I love how these turned out. She wanted the guys to come so there's only a hint of pink (did I mention they're having a girl?). The original invite that she had pinned said "Beer Brats Baby" but she didn't want to be limited to brats so we did beef instead and I think it looks better than if we'd had that extra letter.

Details:
Varsity Letter Lite .75"
Core'dinations ? (I'll have to look that up)
Kiwi Embroidery Pink Paisley
Value Pack white

Carver's 2nd Birthday Invitations

Carver's birthday is a construction theme this year. Can I just say that I LOVE to party plan! That said, I feel like I've started a lot later than last year and I feel like I have a lot more to do. That'll go away when we buy his present (he's getting a bbq to sit next to daddy's haha)

I came up with a lot of the wording, and enlisted Etsy for a couple ideas. :)

Details:
B is for Boy 3.75"
Birthday Bash 1.5"
Bazzill Mud Pie & Desert Marigold
Recollections kraft
CB Diamond Plate embossing folder

I found envelopes that matched the yellow paper! I'm always happy when things fall together like that.
Envelopes: Cordenons Malmero Perle Yellow

Blast From the Past #7

This card... what to say about this card. I think that it's adorable. However, I had to HAND CUT each of these dresses out! It was extremely time consuming. But everyone loved how they turned out. My friend, Ayami, who I did the baby shower for, asked me to make her birth announcements. So I gave her a few different ideas, and this is what she chose. It's safe to say that I will probably never make these again. :)

White Daisy (not pictured-instead of argyle paper) - Imaginisce 'Twitterpated'

I don't remember where I found the template but I'm pretty sure I still have it saved on my desktop computer. If you would like it, just leave me a comment with your email address.

Blast From the Past #4

Happy Valentine's Day! Hubbs and I met and started dating on 5/1/04 and got married on 5/3/08. Its been an interesting 7 years and I wouldn't change one thing! I love you babe and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you!

Now onto the card! I have another pocket card for you today and it's PINK!! It's a baby shower invite for my friend Ayami. Kim and Ayami's showers were a week apart so I did the same idea for both of the parties to make things a little simplier on myself. :) You can find the tutorial here.
