It's a Girl Banner

Here's the banner I made for the baby shower last weekend. Here's how I made it:

Take a 6x12 sheet of paper and make marks at 5" and 10" on the top. On the bottom make marks at 2.5" and 7.5". You can draw cheat lines if you want and then cut. A 12x12 will make 6 triangles. For the second layer, cut triangles that are 1/4" smaller (5.5x12 and 4.5" wide).

The only place that I could find to take pictures was on Carver's crib. haha All of the other walls had too much of a glare.

Baby Showers

Our church hosted a baby shower for two ladies in the church. My MOMS group is in charge of the showers and I volunteered to do the shopping for the group gifts. It was a LOT of fun! One wanted a gift card and the other wanted things off of her registry.

What I've been up to lately

I've been busy making birthday cards. Here's the ones that have been given to their recipient. The rest, I'll have to show you later so it doesn't spoil the surprise. :)

This one is for my sister-in-law. She's a teacher and I wanted to use my new Printing 101 cartridge.

A birthday card for my Dad. This is a Criss Cross card and I found the tutorial for it here.

This last one is for a friend's daughter that just turned one! Her new bedroom is going to pink and white so we used that as a jumping ground for her card and present.

Her present. We got her some wood alphabet blocks and the basket is to hold them in. I got the basket in the bath section at Target and weaved the ribbon through it.
